DISCLAIMER STATEMENT: While the general academic policies presented in this
Handbook are consistent across all University undergraduate programs, calendar dates and
deadlines may vary depending upon the Extended Campus locations. Please confirm calendar
events and deadlines with a specific Extended Campus location. Degree and major requirements
appear in the University Bulletin. In researching one’s degree/major interests, he/she should
always check the addendum section of the on-line University Bulletin. Since the Bulletin and
Handbook are printed in a three-year cycle, addendums are posted to the Website as programs,
requirements, and policies are added or amended. This Handbook is intended to compliment the
Bulletin and not compete with it. The Undergraduate Studies Bulletin is the final authority in
resolving academic questions.

ACADEMIC CONDUCT
Academic Conduct Statement of Principle: The mission of the University “is to graduate
students with exemplary academic and professional skills who are prepared for purposeful lives
and meaningful service.” Consistent with this mission, the University expects students to exhibit
moral courage and ethical responsibility.
The University Code of Honor states that members of the University community should be
“honest in all behavior.” Each student of Campbell University, therefore, is expected to
personally demonstrate academic integrity. That is, each student (1) should have an unwavering
commitment to doing the best he/she can with his/her own intellectual resources, (2) should be
truthful in all matters, (3) should maintain appropriate confidentiality when representing the
University, and (4) should encourage academic integrity among all fellow members of the
University community.
By joining this University community, each student acknowledges and agrees that he/she will
abide by the precepts stated above.
Definition
Students are expected to uphold the high standards set forth above in all of their academic
pursuits. Regrettably, there are occasional lapses. Examples of academic misconduct include,
but are not limited to, the following:
a) Providing assistance to another during an exam or on another assignment in a manner not
authorized by the instructor;
b) Copying from another student’s paper, lab report, or test;
c) Attempting to give or receive information relative to assignments, papers, quizzes,
exams, etc., in wrongful and inappropriate ways.
3
d) Providing specific information about a previous test, project, other assignment which
could thereby result in another person gaining an unfair advantage;
e) Allowing one’s work to be presented as the work of someone else;
f) Providing any unauthorized papers, notes, materials, etc. for another person;
g) Using the words, ideas, or information of another source directly without properly
acknowledging that source. This includes the use of work (or data) from another student,
another author, the Internet, commercial services, etc; it also includes any portion of a
computer program or data file;
h) Utilizing at any time or in any manner not previously authorized by the faculty member
any portion of an exam or other material intended to be used for evaluation purposes in
advance of its administration;
i) Submitting the same work for multiple classes without the knowledge and permission of
all involved faculty;
j) Attempting to influence or modify a grade or academic record in inappropriate or unfair
ways;
k) Concealing, removing, or destroying materials intended for the use of others;
l) Consulting with other students on projects, papers, labs, assignments, etc. where such
collaboration is not allowed by the professor;
m) Inappropriately using technologies in such a manner as to gain unfair or inappropriate
advantage;
n) Forging, falsifying, or fraudulently using university documents;
o) Recording, scanning, or taking pictures of lectures/exams/quizzes/etc. without
permission, and utilizing them for private or public purposes;
p) Disclosing confidential information to unauthorized sources;
q) Failing to report instances of academic misconduct to appropriate officials;
r) Lying in official matters, such as purposely furnishing false information.
Rationale
Whenever issues of academic misconduct arise, such as described above, the faculty member
must determine the appropriate course of action. The faculty member shall retain complete
discretion in handling such situations and in awarding grades he/she deems appropriate. The
faculty member’s decisions may be tempered by:
a) a concern for seeking, discovering, and upholding truth;
b) a concern for fairness to all students;
c) a concern to uphold appropriate expectations on matters of academic honesty and
integrity;
d) a concern for determining and applying sanctions commensurate with the gravity of the
offense;
e) a concern of appropriate care for the well-being of (a) student(s) and of the broader
academic community.
Faculty Actions and Student Sanctions
4
A number of courses of action are available to the faculty member. For example, a faculty
member may, among other possibilities, counsel with the student as an initial means to educate
and/or reform, counsel with the student and issue an initial warning, or allow the assignment to
be rewritten or the test/quiz/exam to be retaken.
Should the offense be so grievous that the faculty member believes a sanction is in order, faculty
may: a) assign a failing grade on the assignment, paper, quiz, test, lab report, etc., or b) assign a
failing grade in the course. Should either of these sanctions be applied, the faculty member shall
a) inform the student of the grade and the reason(s) for which it was assigned, and b) send a letter
to the Dean of Students documenting the sanction for academic misconduct to be placed in the
student’s conduct file in the Office of Student Life. Once a student has received a sanction in a
course for academic misconduct, the student will be prohibited from officially dropping or
withdrawing from the course.
THE ACADEMIC FILE OR PERMANENT RECORD:
The academic file or permanent record contains, but may not be limited to, the following
information:
1. The transcript of record
2. The Evaluation of Transfer Credits (if applicable)
3. Official copies of post secondary transcripts, DANTES, CLEP, USAFI,
Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate (IB), and ACT/PEP
tests and any other official documents which support the Evaluation of
Transfer Credits

5. SAT or ACT test scores
6. Correspondence relative to deportment
7. General Correspondence to the student
8. The Graduation Audit (if applicable)
9. Application for Admission
10. *Letter, statement, or verification of acceptance
Note1 Components within the academic file are added on a rolling basis and are scanned into the
University’s data base through OnBase, a computer software program which communicates with
the academic computer data base.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION:
Credit may be earned by satisfactorily completing the General Examinations or the
Subject Examinations of the College Level Examination Program [CLEP] , the Subject
Examinations of the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Subjects
[DANTES], the examinations of the United States Armed Forces Institute [USAFI], the
Advanced Placement examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board, or any
5
other standardized test approved and accepted by the American Council on Education and
documented in the ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the
Armed Services, often referred to as The ACE Guide. Students may also earn credit for
satisfactory completion of the International Baccalaureate program. Details pertaining to
the International Baccalaureate program are provided later in this handbook.
Note: Campbell University does not allow course credit for the SAT II battery of tests.
Students must complete and submit for evaluation all non-traditional and standardized
tests by the end of the first year of residency at Campbell.

TRANSCRIPT OF RECORD:
A transcript of record is a copy of the student’s academic history while enrolled at
Campbell University. It shows every course for which the student registered, term taken,
grade, and semester hours received. Campbell University will not intentionally issue a
partial transcript. Furthermore, we do not issue transcripts from other colleges or
10
universities, including high school transcripts or standardized test scores that are not
already posted on the face of the Campbell University transcript. Please note that the
Norman A. Wiggins School of Law maintains its own transcripts. To obtain copies of a
transcript, students must notify the School of Law.
We do not post a class rank for our students until they graduate. We have nearly 5,500
non-traditional or part-time students enrolled on five campuses making the determination
of a “class” rank virtually impossible.
Students requesting transcripts at, or near, the end of an academic term should ask that
their request be held until the final grades for the term are posted, or they should request
that a supplementary transcript be mailed after the final semester grades are posted. There
is a separate charge [$5.00] for supplementary transcripts.
Campbell University will not release a transcript of record without the written consent of
the student or a subpoena issued by the presiding judge in a legal action nor will we will
accept a telephone request for a transcript. Furthermore, we respond to subpoenas
through the university attorney. Normally, our counsel mails the appropriate records to
the Clerk of Court with the instructions that the presiding judge in the action opens the
documents.
HAGUE SEALS/APOSTILLES:
Quite often, international students or US students studying in foreign countries are required to
have a Hague Seal or apostille applied to the academic documents they present for credit to
international universities and/or government agencies.
The process can be slow and somewhat frustrating because so many people are involved over an
extended period of time. To avoid having to repeat any part of the process, students must do
ALL of the following:
1. You must remit to Campbell University the sum of $150.00 US dollars. The State Department
of North Carolina charges $10.00 for each document to be certified. The $150.00 fee cover all
charges including (a) diploma re-printing charge, (b) transcript fees, (3) Notary Public fees, and
(4) mailing fees Please send this $150 fee to the Registrar's Office, P.O. Box 367, Buies Creek,
NC 27506. Make the check or money order is payable to Campbell University. Please make
sure to also state on your check or money order that it is for the application of the Hague Seal.
2. We must print your diploma just for this process . . . . This process normally takes from four
to six weeks. It can be quicker though it rarely is. Once we have your diploma in hand from the
printer, we have it notarized by a local Notary Public.
11
3. We include official transcripts of all of your Campbell University course work. This/these
documents too will be notarized locally in addition to bearing the seal of Campbell University.
4. We must prepare an affidavit for the Secretary of State's Department of Document
Authentication. We send the affidavit, the Campbell University transcripts, and a copy of your
diploma(s) to the State Department by Federal Express. We include with this packet a mailer
that will forward the entire packet to you by World Wide Express. Please provide us with a
complete address to which you want the packet mailed. Include your telephone number.
The telephone number is required by overseas delivery services in the event there are
problems locating a person or address. You are responsible for delivering the documents
to the proper authorities in another country. Do not open the packet. Deliver it sealed to
the proper authorities. If possible, you may want to have them open the packet in your
presence.
5. The process begins as soon as we receive your remittance.
Note: The process is much faster if these details are handled by the student prior to leaving the
United States. In some instances, US students must obtain this documentation before they are
granted a student or visitor’s visa to a foreign country. Do not wait until the last minute to
start this process.

Subpoenas:
A subpoena is a command from a court to require the person named in the subpoena to appear at
a stated time and place to provide testimony or evidence. There are two main types of
subpoenas: The subpoena duces tecum requires the submission of documents, papers, or other
tangible things to the court. The subpoena ad testificandum requires a person to testify in a
particular court case. A bench warrant issued by a judge, also considered a court order, requires
a person to produce something to, or testify before, a court.
According to the regulations, non-directory, personally identifiable information from education
records can be released “to comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena” provided
that the “institution makes a reasonable effort to notify the student of the order or subpoena in
advance of compliance.”
Legislation passed on September 28, 1994, modified the requirement of notifying students of the
receipt of a subpoena. This legislation orders institutions not to notify the student of the receipt
of a federal grand jury subpoena, or any other subpoena issued for a law enforcement purpose, if
specifically ordered not to do so in the subpoena.
Furthermore, the 2000 regulations clarified that if an institution initiated legal action against a
student, or vice versa, no subpoena for the relevant education records of a student would be
required for the institution to either proceed with legal action as plaintiff or defend itself.
Jurisdiction–
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require that a subpoena be issued from the court for the
district in which the hearing or trial is to be held. If the subpoena orders the production or
inspection of documents, the subpoena must be issued from the court in which the production or
inspection is to be made. A court cannot act upon a person over which it has no jurisdiction.
State courts have jurisdiction only within the boundaries of the state. However, federal district
courts effectively have jurisdiction in all 50 states since attorneys who are permitted to represent
13
a client in federal court can issue a subpoena from any federal court for the district in which the
subpoena is to be served. “In authorizing attorneys to issue subpoenas from distant courts, the
rule effectively authorizes service of a subpoena anywhere in the United States by an attorney
representing any party.” If a subpoena is served on an individual that requires the individual to
testify personally (ad testificandum) as opposed to providing documents only (duces tecum), the
deposition/hearing must be conducted no more than 100 miles from the site of the hearing. The
individual is not compelled to travel further.
Being Presented with a Subpoena–
FERPA does not mandate that an institution of higher education automatically comply with a
lawfully issued subpoena. To determine if the institution should comply with a subpoena, the
following information should be considered:
$ Determine if it is a subpoena
$ Determine if the court issuing the subpoena has jurisdiction
$ Determine what is requested
$ Determine if what is requested follows the prescription within FERPA
Under FERPA, the requirement that the person served with a subpoena notify the student of the
receipt of a subpoena and the institution’s probable intent to comply should override any
command within a subpoena to the contrary (with the exceptions previously noted). In most
cases in which this occurs, no judge reviewed the subpoena before it was issued. It should be
quite obvious to anyone who is knowledgeable about FERPA that the issuer of the subpoena
does not realize that a prior notification requirement exists within FERPA.
When the subpoena orders the recipient not to notify the student (and the subpoena is not a
federal grand jury subpoena or one issued for law enforcement purposes, it is best to contact the
person who issued the subpoena and notify that person of the FERPA requirement. If the issuer
insists that the student not be notified, the person served with a subpoena should seek advice of
counsel. He or she also could inform the issuer that he or she will only comply with that request
upon receipt of a court order from a judge serving on a court that has jurisdiction over the
institution served with the subpoena.
At the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student’s educational
records. The right to inspect is limited solely to the student. Records may be released to parents
only under the following conditions: (1) through the written consent of the student, (2) in
compliance with a subpoena, or (3) by submission of evidence that the parents declared the
student as a dependent on their most recent Federal Income Tax form. Should the parents
provide such proof of dependency, the university is not required to disclose information from the
student’s education records. It may, however, exercise its discretion to do so.
1.
Normally, in situations where parents provide proof of dependency, Campbell
14
University will comply by providing access to the record but only after the
student has been informed of our intent to release the record.
2.
In cases of divorce, separation or custody, when only one parent declares the
student as dependent, an institution may grant equal access to information from
the student’s educational records. However, when access is given to one parent,
the institution must grant equal access to the other parent upon request, unless
there is a court order, state statute, or legally binding document stating otherwise.
Such requests are processed through the university attorney.
3.
When access is granted based upon demonstration of dependency, the student’s
file will note that the determination to authorize access was based upon the
appropriate documentation. However, as long as such notation is made, copies of
the financial documents will not be retained. Since the student has no right of
access to parental financial information, placing such copies in a student’s file
would violate parental rights of confidentiality.
To be official, a transcript must bear the corporate seal of Campbell University, the date
of issue, and the signature of the registrar.
We will accept a facsimile (fax) request for a transcript to be mailed to a third party, and
we fax a transcript to persons who provide proof of identify:
1.
Note that we are not entirely satisfied with the security of faxed records. The fax
eliminates an element of privacy that we deem essential in the handling and
processing of academic records.
2.
Realizing that methods for transcript delivery and processing are continually
evolving, Campbell University must satisfy itself by determining the authenticity
of a record before considering it for credit applicable toward a Campbell
University Degree.
3.
Understand that if Campbell University sends a transcript via fax to a third party
and sends a separate transcript to the student, we treat this response as two
requests and charge the student accordingly.
4.
We will accept transcripts via fax for advising when the fax is sent directly from
the credit-granting institution. (See No. 2 above)
OBTAINING A TRANSCRIPT/ISSUING A TRANSCRIPT
The Registrar’s Office issues student copies and transcripts to third parties at a cost of
15
$5.00 per copy. The charge for faxing a transcript is $15.00. This charge includes the
cost for following the faxed copy with an original via surface mail. The charge for
overnight” service is $17.40 (US Postal Service) plus $5.00 per mailing. For the charges
imposed by other service providers such as FedEx, please telephone or email the
Registrar’s Office.
Note: Transcript fees are likely to change during the academic cycle covered by this Handbook. Thus, readers are encouraged to
check our Website frequently where this information will be updated as it becomes available. We are considering going to an
automated transcript service provided by a third party. When a decision has been reached the details will appear on the Website at:
http://www.campbell.edu/registrar-policies.html
No transcript will be released if the student’s account is not in good standing.
Intra-University transcripts (from the registrar’s office to a department, division, school,
dean, placement office, or Advisor) are free. Such transcripts are issued under the terms
and conditions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA] with the
specific understanding that the transcript will not be released to a third party. IntraUniversity transcripts will be issued only to those officials and faculty advisers with a
legitimate need to know the contents of a student record.
To receive “counter service” for a transcript a student must:
--Complete a REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF RECORD form.
The Assistant Registrar for Transcripts and Records will control the release of transcripts
and will coordinate the release of transcripts with the university’s business office. No
transcript is to be released without the knowledge and approval of the Assistant Registrar
for Transcripts.
To obtain a Transcript of Record or to send such to a third party, the student must be prepared to
provide the following information:
1. The student’s signature supported by a social security number or the unique student number
issued by the academic computer. This unique number appears on the student’s id card,
transcript of record, individual financial account with the university, and adjacent to the name on
all class rosters and grade reports. Note that we can not accept a “typed” or printed signature,
unless either or both are accompanied by the student’s cursive signature.
2. An individual address or fax number to which the transcript is to be sent.
3. The name of the individual to whom the record is being released.
4. Evidence that the student is in good standing with the Business Office with no Business
Office holds on the account.

*An FX becomes an F upon graduation.
Grades of "A, B, C, D, F, FX, I, and WF" are included in semester hours attempted and will
affect the grade point average. Grades of "IC, WP, AU, CR, CT, and P" will not affect the grade
point average.
The cumulative grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total quality points
earned by the total number of semester hours attempted.
A grade of "I" (Incomplete) must be removed by the completion of the work within 30 days after
the opening of the next semester; otherwise, it will be recorded as an "F". A grade of "IC" must
be removed by the completion of the work within 120 days; otherwise, it will be recorded as an
"F". A student may appeal a grade within a period of one academic year from the semester in
which the grade was assigned. No changes to the transcript will be made after a twelve-month
period unless a professor acknowledges in writing that an error in grade reporting has occurred.
Credit/No Credit Option
17
Juniors or seniors with a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or higher may take up to a total of 9 semester
hours of credit/no credit courses. Nor more than one course can be taken during a reporting
term. Required courses for a major or courses taken to fulfill the General College Curriculum
(GCC) may not be taken on a credit/no credit basis.
Letter graded courses which have been failed may not be repeated on a credit/no credit basis.
Registration for credit/no credit courses will be handled in the same manner as for regular
enrollment. Registration for a credit/no credit courses requires registration for a minimum of 12
additional semester hours on a letter grade basis for the reporting term. The decisions to take
courses on a credit/no credit basis must be made by the official date, “last day to drop without a
grade.” Students taking a course for credit/no credit will be charged at the same tuition rate as a
graded course.
A student registered for a credit/no credit course performing “at or above average” as determined
by the instructor will receive credit hours only and a transcripted mark of CT (credit). A student
registered for a credit/no credit course performing “below average" as determined by the
instructor will receive no credit hours and a transcripted mark of NC (no credit). Neither grade
(CT or NC) impacts a student’s grade point average.
Repeat Courses
For repeat courses, the last attempt only will affect the cumulative grade point average.
Previous hours attempted, previous hours passed, and previous quality points will not be
considered, although they will remain on the permanent record. All grades from all attempts are
recorded and remain on the transcript permanently. Alternative course credit (e.g. CLEP and
DSST) will not replace a grade. Additionally, a grade of "WP" or "AU" will not replace a grade.
A.
Campbell University does not accept grades in transfer from other agencies. We transfer
semester hours only for courses on which the student has earned a grade of ‘C’ or higher.
We accept “course content only” and no semester hours for courses on which the student
has earned a grade of ‘D’. Accepting course content means that the student does not have
to repeat the course for Campbell University credit unless the student’s major,
department, or school requires a minimum grade of ‘C’ in the course. For instance,
education majors must make a minimum grade of ‘C’ on all professional education
courses.
B.
Campbell University recognizes that a quarter hour is two-thirds of a semester hour;
therefore, we observe the following conversions:
5 quarter hours
4 quarter hours
3 quarter hours
=
=
=
3.3 semester hours
2.6 semester hours

ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY–Campbell University has a “one time”
academic forgiveness policy for courses completed at Campbell University. To be
eligible to benefit from the terms of the policy, a student cannot have been enrolled for a
period of eight years or more prior to the date of the request for academic forgiveness.
Note: All grade resolutions including an application of the “Academic Forgiveness
Policy” must be initiated and completed prior to a student’s graduation from the
University.
Under the terms of the policy, the University will award credit hours only for any course
on which the candidate eared a grade of ‘C’ or better. Students will not be required to
repeat courses on which they earned a ‘D’; however, no credit hours toward graduation
will be allowed for ‘D’ grades. Failing grades will not be charged against the student’s
grade point average. Any student electing to take advantage of this policy will not be
eligible to graduate with honors, and once the policy has been applied it cannot be
retracted.
DIRECTORY INFORMATION/FERPA:
Directory information or education record information that can be disclosed without the
student’s written permission as defined in Section 99.3 of the original FERPA
regulations, includes:
“the student’s name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, major
field of study, participation in normally recognized activities and sports, weight
and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees, and awards
received, the most recent educational . . . institution attended by the student, and
other similar information.” For example, the Family Policy Compliance Officer
states that an institution could include a student’s photograph and class schedule
as directory information. However, personal identifiers, such as identification
numbers or social security numbers, cannot be designated as directory
information.
The 1988 Final Regulations amended this definition by adding that directory information
was that “. . . information contained in an education record of a student which would not
generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.”
The registrar’s office considers the following information to be directory information at
Campbell University:
19
1. Name
2. Dates of Attendance
3. Degree(s) received
4. Academic majors and minors
*5. Current “student’s local or grade” address
6. Telephone numbers
7. Religious denomination
8. Academic classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.)
9. Academic Dean’s and President’s Lists
10. Membership in academic honor or service organizations
11. Elected member of the Student Government Association
12. Last institution attended
13. Most recent institution attended
*Note: Campbell University does not consider a parent’s address directory information.
While local and permanent addresses could be considered directory information
under FERPA (unless a exclusion has been filed by the student)< a separate
parent address should not be considered directory information and should not be
disclosed without prior written consent from the student. While it is true that
permanent and parent addresses are often the same, in many cases these two
addresses are not. We should be careful not to include what is considered a
“parent” address as directory information.
Note: A student’s academic standing--such as “in good standing” or “eligible to
return”-- should not be designated as directory information under FERPA. By
process of elimination, those who are “not in good standing” could be identified
and this would be considered an invasion of privacy under FERPA.
CRISIS SITUATIONS/EMERGENCIES/FERPA
If non-directory information is needed to resolve a crisis or emergency situation, the registrar’s
office may release that information if the institution determines that the information is
“necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals” A record will be
made of any such disclosures.
Factors which will be considered or questions to be asked in making a decision to release such
information in this situations are: 1) the severity of the threat to the health or safety of those
involved; 2) the need for the information; 3) the time required to deal with the emergency; and 4)
the ability of the parties to whom the information is to be given to deal with the emergency.
20
TRANSFER OF CREDIT (Policy):
A transfer student from an accredited two-year institution may receive up to sixty-four (64)
semester hours of course credit.
All students from accredited junior and community colleges are eligible to apply for transfer
under a direct transfer policy if they have an overall "C" average and are recommended by the
registrar of the sending institution. Full credit will be given to junior college courses at the
associate degree level.
Campbell University will accept semester hours only from all transfer work. Campbell
University accepts course content only for "D" grades; consequently, a student will not earn
hours toward graduation for "D" work completed at another college or university. The student’s
grade point average (GPA) will be determined by the work completed only at Campbell
University.
Transfer students must be in good academic and social standing at the school from which they
are transferring.
COMPREHENSIVE ARTICULATION AGREEMENT
Campbell University has partnered with the N.C. Department of Community Colleges in the
Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. This agreement addresses the transfer of credits in the
core curriculum between institutions in the North Carolina Community College system for
students who wish to transfer to Campbell University.
SUBSTITUTION POLICY
Upon the recommendation of the adviser and department chairperson (or extended campus
director), the dean of each school has the authority to approve subject substitutions.
TRANSFERRING NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES—
Campbell University sets no limits on the number of upper-level semester hours we will accept
from any combination of the following non-traditional programs: the College Level Examination
Program [CLEP], Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Services [DANTES], the
Advanced Placement Program [AP], the United States Armed Forces Institute [USAFI],
International Baccalaureate Program [IBP], departmental end-of-course examinations, credits
from sources approved by The American Council on Education, and other non-traditional
sources subject to the approval of the Campbell University Curriculum Committee and the
Executive Administration of the University.
21
A.
We will treat upper division baccalaureate credits recommended by the
American Council on Education in the ACE Guide just as if they were
being transferred from a four-year college or university. We will transfer
such credit in addition to the 64 semester hours normally transferred from
two-year and/or non-traditional programs.
B.
We will accept CLEP tests numbered 300 and above as fulfilling the
equivalent requirement at Campbell. This credit is in addition to the 64
semester hours normally accepted from non-traditional programs.
C.
We accept all lower level technical and vocational credits recommended in
the ACE Guide toward satisfying the elective requirements for the
Associate in Arts degree. Such credits would be annotated on the
Evaluation of Transfer Credits as “Associate Degree Credit Only
[ADCO].” Such credits will be reevaluated for the bachelor’s degree with
the possibility of some associate level work being “grouped” to satisfy a
requirement such as general biology or general physics. Such “grouping”
would be done on a program-by-program basis with the approval of the
appropriate dean and department chairman.
Campbell University reviews and evaluates courses from non-regionally accredited program and
foreign institutions on a course-by-course basis. In no cases will be accept more than 64
semester hours from non-regionally accredited and/or foreign programs.
Foreign students may wish to submit an evaluation of their academic credentials prepared by the
Office of International Education Services [OIES]–a division of the American Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. There address is:
OIES/AACRAO
One Dupont Circle NW, Suite 520
Washington, DC 20036-1135
Tel: (202) 296-3359
Fax: (202) 972-8857
E-mail: [email protected]
An OIES course-by-course evaluation suitable to assist institutions in determining
undergraduate transfer credit includes a basic statement plus suggested
course/subject weight in undergraduate, semester credit hours. Cost per detailed
statement is $150 for AACRAO member institutions and $190 if paid by student.
The student may select either the evaluation prepared in his/her behalf by
Campbell University or the evaluation prepared by OIES. There will be no
mixing and matching of evaluations.
22
Evaluations prepared by other agencies will be considered on a case-by-case basis
after it has been determined that the agency is recognized and appropriately
credentialed.
Students who have completed college-level work in secondary school and who
have taken the appropriate examination offered by the Advanced Placement
Program of the College Entrance Examination Board may apply for credit on a
course-by-course basis provided they have a minimum score of 3 on each test
offered for credit consideration. Please note that the minimum score for some
courses is a 4. Refer to the Advanced Placement credit crosswalk chart.

AP exam scores, not class attendance, listed on high school transcripts will suffice for
documentation. All others require a testing agency transcript.
The English Department will waive the English 101 requirement for students who
enter the university with a minimum verbal score of 700 on the SAT and an ‘B’
average on secondary level English courses. Eligible students do not receive
credit hours for English 101.
Please note that the minimum scores for credit for all non-traditional credit programs are
24
subject to change. The following scores represent minimum passing scores at the time this
handbook was prepared. Campbell University uses the recommended standards for credit
based upon the national norms in effect at the time the test results are tabulated; however the
University reserves the right to set the minimum scores for credit on any end-of-course
examination or to cease to grant credit for a specific test or tests. All testing services make
these standards available to candidates when reporting test results.

Is the International Baccalaureate an organization?
The International Baccalaureate Program is governed by the International Baccalaureate
Organization in Geneva, Switzerland and administered by the International Baccalaureate
Curriculum and Assessment Center in Cardiff, Wales. The organization originated over thirty
years ago in Europe as a effort by international schools to assure quality educational standards
for students, regardless of where they lived. Today the organization uses the talents of educators
around the world to continuously update curriculum, train teachers, assess student work, and
evaluate the program.
What IB courses are required for the IB diploma?
The IB diploma students take six academic courses during their junior and senior years. The six
required areas are: [a] Language A (English or the student's native language) [b] Language B (a
modern second language which is spoken today) [c] Individuals and Societies (History,
Geography, Economics, Philosophy, Psychology, Social Anthropology, or Organization and
Management Studies) [d] Experimental Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental
Systems, or Design Technology [e] Mathematics [f] A sixth area subject, which may include Art,
Music, Theater, Computer Studies, a second experimental science, a second social studies,
Classical Language, or History and Culture of the Islamic World. IB diploma students also take
a Theory of Knowledge, a course that encourages students to make connections among the
academic disciplines and to examine knowledge, perception, and language as they relate to those
disciplines. An extended essay based on independent research is also required.
How and when do IB students test in their subjects?
IB diploma candidates test in three of their subjects at the higher level and three of their subjects
at the subsidiary level. Two subsidiary level tests may be taken in May of the junior year. All
other tests are taken in May of the senior year. Higher level tests are longer and more
challenging than subsidiary level tests; these are the tests which may qualify for college credit.
All examinations are administered by the high school, which is responsible for ensuring that IB
standards for testing conditions are met.
What scores must a student earn in order to gain the diploma?
30
Diploma candidates must earn a total of 24 points on their six IB examinations. Bonus points
may be awarded for excellent extended essays, and for excellent Theory of Knowledge work. A
score of 4 is considered to be a passing score on an IB examination. Though every university
has its own criteria, most universities which award credit for IB courses require a score of 5 or
better on higher level exams.
How much will IB examinations cost?
Currently, IB fees are a one-time $65 registration fee and $48 per exam. There is also an
extended essay fee of $30 and a Theory of Knowledge fee of $15. The per capita fee of $125 is
frequently paid by the school rather than by the student.
Does the student have to take an IB course in order to take an IB exam?
Yes! The IB is a curriculum that provides for ongoing assessment throughout the two-year
program. Because a percentage of the exam score is based on those assessments, the student
cannot just sit for an exam without having taken the course.
REGISTRATION:
No student may attend Campbell University or receive credit without being officially
registered.
Continuing students (students who were enrolled for the preceding term) may register unless
they have been declared “academically ineligible” by the Retention Committee or “socially
ineligible” by the Student Government Association, Dean of Student Life, the Executive
Administration of the University, or if they are unable to make satisfactory financial
arrangements with the Business Office.
1. Students who are “academically ineligible” are notified in writing by the Registrar or the
Dean of Admissions in May of each year.
2. Students who are “socially ineligible” are notified in writing by the Dean of Student Life or a
representative of the Executive Committee of the University.
Note: A “hold” may be placed upon a student’s registration by the Business Office if the
student’s account is not in good standing, by the Admissions Office if essential elements are
missing from the Application for Admission package, by the Dean of Student Life, or the
Executive Administration. No student will be permitted to complete registration until the
“hold” has been removed from the computer by the office or person who placed the hold.
Note: State law requires that all students must have proof of current immunization against
diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, red measles (rubeola) and rubella, or they
must have a qualifying medical exemption, or a qualifying religious exemption on file with the
University Health Services. Students who do not have and cannot provide proof of
immunization may have a hold placed on their registrations and be required to withdraw from the
University.
A student is officially registered for classes when his name appears on the class rosters generated
31
by the Registrar’s Office.
1. A student who attends class without being officially registered to the class roster by the
registrar will not receive credit for the course.
3. Having a professor pencil in a name on a roster does not constitute an official registration.
4. Permitting students who have not officially registered to attend classes causes a multitude of
problems for both the student and the University and can not be tolerated.
It is the individual responsibility of every student to know the requirements for the particular
degree that they are seeking and to see that these requirements are met. University Bulletins are
available in the Admissions Office, Registrar’s Office, deans’ offices, and in many other places
on campus. Furthermore, every department prepares curriculum sheets that offer a semester-bysemester, course-by-course “master” plan. While there are many ways to get from the initial
registration to graduation, following the department or school’s curriculum guide and
successfully completing all courses will guarantee a student’s success.
REGISTRATION/PRE-REGISTRATION PROCEDURES:
Pre-registration for continuing Main Campus students may be accomplished in two ways: (1)
those who qualify may pre-register on-line through their Web Access accounts or (2) through the
academic advisor in the traditional manner where an adviser or department designee actually
enters the schedule into the academic computing system. In any case, students must meet with
an advisor to register for ADVS-100—a non-credit course that can only be added by an advisor
thereby assuring that all students have counseled with an advisor during the registration process.
Pre-registration occurs over a five-week period occurs twice each year, once in
October/November for the spring semester and once in March/April for the fall and summer
semesters. Pre-registration is priority based with seniors registering first and freshmen and those
with fewer than 12 semester hours registering last. All students are guaranteed workable
schedules that will move them forward toward graduation.
New students (first-time freshmen and new transfers) are initially pre-registered in the individual
departments by advisers in the students’ majors.
For those who fail to pre-register, a day of “regular” registration open to all students occurs at the
beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
Following a brief orientation on regular registration days (announced in the University’s
academic calendar), students meet with advisors from their schools and departments and have
their schedules entered into the system by the advisor or a department designee.
After meeting with the major department and/or advisor and having the class schedule entered
into the system, the student reports to the Rumley Center to have ID cards made, resolve account
issues with the Business Office, or to speak with representatives from the Financial Aid office or
Registrar’s Office. To be officially registered:
32
1. A student must be fully or provisionally accepted by the Office of Admissions. Acceptance
by the Admissions Office means that:
The candidate has completed the admissions process, filed an Application for
Admissions, submitted all applicable transcripts, standardized test scores, medical record
form and proof of immunization, and has been entered into the computer system.
The student has a letter of acceptance or letter of provisional admission.
Visiting students have a letter of approval to transfer courses from the college or
university in which they are regularly enrolled.
2.
All new and/or “first time” Campbell University students must attend an orientation to
the University either during the summer before their initial fall registration or at the
beginning of the first term of enrollment. A brief orientation is offered at 8:30 a.m. in
Turner Auditorium (unless another venue is announced) on the first day of registration
for both the fall and spring semesters.
Students who attend the abbreviated orientation on the first day of registration will hear
presentations from the Director of Admissions, the Dean of Student Life, a representative
from Computing Services, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and the
Registrar.
Students should familiarize themselves with the Campbell University Bulletin which is
available on the University Website paying particular attention to the sections applicable
to the degree and major requirements. The student should also keep a copy of their major
department’s curriculum guide available to them during the initial advisement session.
The student should safeguard these two important documents to which they will
frequently need to refer during the tenure of their enrollment.
Late Registration:
Late Registration is any registration occurring on or after the first day of classes
and after the regular registration in the Rumley Center. Students registering after
the close of regular registration must do the following after obtaining a Late
Registration Form and a Procedures for Late Registration Form from the
Registrar’s Office:
New students and students returning after an absence of one semester or more
must clear the Admissions Office by filing an Application for Admission. The
Admissions Office activates or (in the case of returning students) reactivates the
student’s demographic data on the computer.
1. Report to the major department. The department secretary will assign an
adviser to the new student. The adviser will assist in the selection of courses.
The new student should have each professor “sign him into class” on the Late
Registration Form. Return the form with the signatures of the adviser and each
professor whose class is being added to the Registrar’s Office where the schedule
will be keyed into the computer system.
33
2. Clear the Business Office in Room 106 of the JA Campbell Administration
Building. All students must make satisfactory arrangements regarding their
accounts after registering for classes. After an appropriate amount of time the
Business Office will instruct the Registrar’s Office to cancel the schedules of
those students who failed to settle their accounts.
3. Obtain a “local” address from the Buies Creek post office or the community
from which the student is commuting.
4. Report to the Residence Life Office in Room 35 in the Student Center to
complete a Housing Card.
5. If operating a vehicle in Buies Creek, the student must report to the Welcome
Center to register a vehicle and obtain a parking permit.
6. Report to the Alumni/Public Information Office in Room 206 of the
Administration Building and complete an Alumni/Public Information Card.
7. Return to the Registrar’s Office with the following:
1. Procedures for Late Registration Form
2. Late Registration Form
POLICIES RELATING TO STUDENTS REGISTERING FOR CREDIT ON EXTENDED
CAMPUSES:
Main Campus students requesting permission to enroll for courses at Campbell
University’s Extended Campuses should be advised of the following University Policies.
Approval must be obtained from the student’s faculty advisor. During the Spring and
Fall semesters the chairperson of the department where the course resides must also
approve the request. All exceptions to policy must be approved by the student’s
Academic Dean.
• The requested course will not be available on the main campus during the
semester in which the extended campus course is requested. Furthermore, the
student must demonstrate that the requested course is necessary for a timely
graduation.
• Approval must be obtained from the student’s faculty advisor and chairperson of
the department where the course resides. An Approval to Take Extended Campus
Courses form is available in the Registrar’s Office for this purpose.
• If a student enrolls for six (6) or more semester hours on main campus and
additional semester hours through extended campus sites during a semester such
that he/she is registered for at least 12 hours, the student is considered a full time,
main campus student and must pay the full time main campus student tuition and
applicable fees.
• The maximum number of combined hours from all campuses during any semester
34
•
may not exceed 18.5 hours.
International students must obtain permission from the Office of International
Admissions prior to enrolling for any courses at an extended campus site.
Procedures for enrollment in courses offered at the Extended Campuses:
•
•
•
•
•
Present an Approval to Take Campbell University Extended Campus Courses
form to the office of Extended Campus Education in Room 106 Pearson or
directly to the administrative office at the campus where the course is offered, and
complete a registration form specific to that campus.
After 24 hours verify the course shows up in the WebAccess account and contact
the administrative office at the campus for classroom location and procedures for
base access where applicable. (Note: Some military base sites are highly
restricted.)
Tuition charges will be charged to the student account. It is the student’s
responsibility to notify the University Business Office to determine tuition
charges.
Textbook information can be found on the campus website and in the course
syllabus available on the Blackboard course site.
It is the student’s obligation to read and comply with the Extended Campus
course withdrawal and add/drop procedures.
DROP-ADD
The first three regular class days of each term are set aside as the “Drop-Add period” for
making adjustments in the student’s schedule. Afternoon classes are suspended on
Friday afternoon of the first week of classes to expedite the process. No adds are
accepted after the eighth classroom day without an appropriate dean’s approval. The
Registrar’s Office prepares new class rosters after the last day to drop a course without a
grade– roughly thirty days into the semester.
Whenever it becomes necessary for the University to cancel a class, move a large number
of students from one section of a class to another, or to make some other adjustment in a
student’s schedule which is beyond the student’s control, such changes will be made by
the appropriate deans and departments involved and with the registrar’s cooperation. No
action will be required of the student(s). In rare cases, a student may be asked to counsel
with their adviser to find another course and may be asked to complete a Drop-Add Form
with the assurance that the request will receive priority processing.
Normally, changes in hours will not be permitted. A student may not change from one
section of a course to another section of the same course with a different professor
without the approval of the Chairman of the Department, the appropriate dean, and the
registrar. However, if the student has the approval of his faculty adviser, he may change
from one course to a different course.
To drop-add courses:
A.
The student must obtain a two-part Change of Schedule Form from the adviser or
35
the Registrar’s Office and list the course(s) they wish to drop and those they wish
to add. The form must be filled out completely and bear the signatures of all
professors involved in the change(s). It is very important that the form be filled
out correctly and that the student is careful to identify the correct course(s) by
using the course record number.
B.
The student must turn in the properly completed Change of Schedule Form to the
Registrar’s Office during the Drop-Add period for any change to be made. The
registrar’s receptionist will stamp the date on the form, retaining the copy marked
“Computer Center” and giving the student the copy marked “File Copy”. It is
important that the student retain their copy of the form in the event a question
concerning their enrollment in a course should arise at a later time. The signed
and dated File Copy is the student’s proof that they have followed the proper
drop-add procedure.
C.
If a student’s name does not appear on the second set of class rosters, the student
must initiate a Change of Schedule Form or present the File Copy of a previously
initiated Change of Schedule Form to the Registrar’s Office so that their name can
be officially added to the roster. The student must then take a copy of their
corrected class schedule to the appropriate professor(s) to verify that the records
are reconciled.
D.
No student should attend a class or continue attending a class for which they are
not officially registered.
E.
A student has approximately 20-25 days at the beginning of a regular semester in
which to drop or officially withdraw from a class without a penalty. Students
dropping or withdrawing after the “free” period to midterm will receive either a
WP (Withdraw Passing) or a WF (Withdraw Failing), depending upon their grade
in the course at the time they withdrew. Students withdrawing after mid-term
normally receive a WF.
A.
Following the first 25 days of a semester or the period during which a student
may drop a course without a penalty (whichever comes first), each drop must be
accompanied by a grade, and that grade must be submitted directly to the
Registrar’s Office by the appropriate professor. Forms for this purpose are
available in the Registrar’s Office. The student must obtain one form for each
course they are dropping, submit the form(s) to the appropriate professor(s), who
will complete them and either hand-deliver or campus-mail them to the
Registrar’s Office for processing. In any case, the student is not to handle the
graded form.
THE RETENTION COMMITTEE
The Retention Committee functions in May of each academic year following the printing
and distribution of final grades for undergraduate students. The Registrar’s Office
generates a list of all students who have incurred quality point deficits equal to or in
excess of 40 points. These students are declared academically ineligible to re-enroll for
the subsequent fall semester.
36
Students who have been declared academically ineligible to re-enroll are offered an
opportunity to re-establish their eligibility by attending one of Campbell Universities
summer sessions and earning a minimum of two “Bs” on three-hour courses with no
grade below a ‘C’. For the sake of interpretation, the student who elects to attend two
sessions of summer school and earns one ‘B’ and one ‘C’ in one session and a ‘B’ and a
‘C’ in the other would be eligible to re-enroll for the subsequent fall semester. However,
the student who earns an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ in one session and a ‘B’ and a ‘F’ in the other
would not be eligible to re-enroll.
Students who do not take advantage of the opportunity to attend summer school to reestablish their eligibility forfeit their right to re-enroll. They must remain dis-enrolled for
a minimum of one semester. Ineligible students may re-apply for admission to the
university after an absence of one semester, however, the right to reapply does not
guarantee acceptance. The University Admissions Committee reviews the files of all
students who reapply after an absence. Students who have experienced academic
problems are required to produce evidence that their academic and/or personal
circumstances have changed to the point that it is reasonable for the Committee to expect
them to succeed.
Students who are academically ineligible should understand that work completed through
other colleges and universities during the period of ineligibility will not be accepted in
transfer by Campbell University. Because Campbell University does not accept grades in
transfer from other colleges and universities (only semester hours), a student’s quality
point deficit must be made up at Campbell University.
The Registrar’s Office generates a second report which includes the names of all students
who have quality point deficits between 10-39.5. At the end of each regular semester,
these students receive an academic warning letter. Because no student can graduate who
does not have an overall ‘C’ average and a ‘C’ average in the major, we feel that early
and frequent warning are essential elements to good advising.
CANCELLATIONS, WITHDRAWALS, AND SUSPENSIONS
The following procedure is for the guidance of all concerned in regard to the administrative
handling of cancellations, withdraws, and suspensions from the University.
For a preregistered student to cancel their registration, they should notify the registrar in writing
of their intent. Upon receipt of the written notification, the registrar will notify the business
office, financial aid office, the Student Life office, and the student’s adviser.
For a registered student (a student who has made satisfactory arrangements with the Business
Office and obtained an official class schedule, regardless of whether the student has attended any
classes or not) to cancel their registration, they should notify the Dean of Student Life who will
assist the student in processing an Official Withdrawal from the University. Resident students
should be prepared to turn in their residence hall room keys and I.D. cards in order to receive a
return of the $25. room key deposit. To avoid problems with Financial Aid, the Veteran’s
Administration (if applicable), or to receive any tuition refunds or credits, the student must
complete an Official Withdrawal from the University. Once the Registrar’s Office has received
37
the official withdrawal form, the student will be dropped from all classes and the instructors
notified. If it is after the last date to withdraw without a penalty, the instructors will provide the
Registrar’s Office with a withdrawal grade of WP or WF, depending upon the student’s progress
in their courses at the time they withdrew.
An unofficial withdrawal may be properly executed for registered students who leave the
university without withdrawing officially. When a dean, professor, resident life assistant,
academic adviser, or other university employee or official learns through the mail or by rumor,
etc., that a student has left the University without executing the necessary withdrawal form, they
should:
--Advise the student that they should complete a withdrawal form and officially withdraw from
the University.
--Notify the Dean of Student Life and apprize him of what is known about the student’s plans to
withdraw and their reason(s) for wanting to do so.
--The Office of Student Life then notifies the student to confirm that they are withdrawing from
school. The Dean should encourage the student to withdraw from school officially since a
formal withdrawal is prerequisite to honorable dismissal or re-entrance to the University. In any
case, if the Dean of Student Life confirms the withdrawal, he notifies the Registrar’s Office, the
Financial Aid Office, and the Business Office and instructs these offices to withdraw the student
as of a specific date. This notification must be in writing (preferably using the Withdrawal
Form).
The Registrar’s Office will notify the faculty that the student has been withdrawn from school by
the Dean of Student Life and request that the professors provide grades of WP or WF as
appropriate.
Suspensions from the University may be made by the Executive Committee, the Dean of
Student Life, or the Student Government Association under the aegis of the Dean of Student
Life.
1.
If a student is suspended by the Executive Committee, the Student
Government Association, or the Dean of Student Life, the Dean of Student
Life notifies the necessary offices (business and financial aid) and the
registrar of the action taken to dismiss the student. The notification must
be in writing with reference to a specific date of dismissal.
2.
The Registrar’s Office is responsible for notifying the instructors of the
suspension and requesting that the student’s professors provide an
appropriate withdrawal grade.
GRADUATION
A.
Associate of Arts Degree--Campbell University offers Associate degrees in
General Education, Business Administration, and Information Technology
(Security and Information Technology Management). A candidate for the AA
degree must have demonstrated evidence of good character, completed 62
38
semester hours with a 2.0 grade point average on all work offered for graduation,
or must have earned a 2.0 average on 80 percent of all work attempted if he has
attempted more than 100 semester hours. This degree requires a minimum of 16
semester hours of study in residence. Please refer to the Campbell University
Bulletin for more specific information-B.
Bachelor Degrees--Campbell University offers the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Science, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor
of Applied Science, and Bachelor of Health Science degrees. Campbell does not
confer two of the same bachelor degrees to the same person. In other words, a
candidate may not earn to Bachelor of Science Degrees from Campbell
University. (The Requirements for a Second Bachelor’s Degree are discussed
below under a separate heading.) The specific requirements for each degree are
outlined in the Campbell University Bulletin.
The following general policies apply to all candidates for bachelor’s
degrees:
C.
1.
Each candidate for a bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum of 124
semester hours with: a) an overall ‘C’ average, b) a ‘C’ average in the
major, and c) a ‘C’ average on all work attempted at Campbell University.
2.
Each candidate for a bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum of 62
semester hours through a four-year educational agency , a minimum of 32
of those hours must be completed through Campbell University, and a
minimum of 12 of the 32 semester hours must be in the student’s major.
Campbell has two graduation ceremonies on campus each academic year–a
December and a May Commencement. Students who qualified for graduation the
previous August are invited to march with the candidates who finish in December.
Graduation, for candidates completing their requirements during one of the two
summer sessions, is certified on August 31. Students who do not meet the
requirements in time to take part in the May ceremony are invited to participate in
graduation the following December, provided they have removed any deficiencies
and have met all qualifications. There are no exceptions to this policy.
All candidates are required to complete an Application for Graduation
during the first few weeks of their final semester of enrollment. The
Application for Graduation is the “key” which initiates several actions:
a.
The Associate Registrar prepares a final graduation audit to
determine if all requirements for the degree have been met and that
all required transcripts, test scores, etc. are official and present to
support the awarding of the degree.
b.
The Registrar’s Office uses the Application for Graduation to order
the diploma for each candidate. The name on the diploma appears
exactly the way it appears on the Application for Graduation.
39
(1)
The Registrar’s Office places orders for the diplomas of
December graduates in early October.
(2)
We place diploma orders for candidates completing their
degree requirements during the summer in early September.
(3)
We place two large orders for diplomas for candidates
graduating in May, the first on or about February 1 and the
second no later than March 15 (in order to assure that the
diplomas are available for candidates on the day of
graduation). Although we may place individual orders
after March 15, we do not expect to have the diplomas
available for graduation.
c.
The Application for Graduation is used to determine where
information relative to graduation and the graduation ceremony
should be mailed and where the diploma should be mailed when a
candidate graduates in absentia.
d.
The Application for Graduation is used to generate an official list
of graduation candidates that is distributed to the Alumni Office,
Financial Aid Office, Advancement Office, Business Office,
Student Personnel Office, News Bureau, and President’s Office.
These offices all perform a number of specific functions in the
interest of the graduation candidate.
The “Six-Hour Rule”
Candidates who have grade point averages of 2.000 or higher in both the major and overall but
who are lacking no more than 6 semester hours of meeting all requirements may file a ‘Request
to Participate in Commencement.’ Forms for this purpose are available in the Registrar’s Office.
Candidates applying for the “six-hour rule” exemption must also file an Application for
Graduation. If approved, the candidate will be allowed to participate in only one
Commencement program for the degree in question. Furthermore, the candidate must
understand that if he/she is approved for participation in May or December Commencement,
he/she will not be eligible to participate in any subsequent semester when he/she would have
been eligible after having met all graduation requirements.
POSTHUMOUS DEGREES
For humanitarian considerations propelled by compassion in response to tragedy, Campbell
University operates with a special degree category termed “Posthumous Degrees.” These are
degree awards to bring ministry and closure to tragic situations involving the deaths of current
Campbell students. Acknowledging that unique circumstances surround such situations,
eligibility for any posthumous degree award shall be considered on a case by case basis. In this
vein, the University operates simply with general guidelines.
Eligibility
40
a) Any student who has completed all degree requirements but who is deceased before the
formal commencement ceremony is eligible to be awarded a posthumous degree.
b) Any matriculated student who has substantially completed the work for a degree,
normally 3/4 of all coursework toward the degree, who was in good academic standing
and was successfully progressing towards completion of degree requirements, shall be
eligible for consideration for a posthumous degree.
Approval Process
Upon consultation with the student’s major/program faculty, the dean of the school from which
the degree would be offered may prepare a written recommendation to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs and Provost. The Vice President shall review the record and consult with the
President before approving or denying the recommendation.
Awarding the Posthumous Degree
a) With the affirmative recommendation of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and
Provost, the posthumous degree shall normally be awarded. However, the President
retains the authority to override the decision of the Vice President and/or to deal with
related extraordinary circumstances which may arise.
b) The degree will normally be conferred at the next regularly scheduled commencement
exercise, though other avenues for conferral may be utilized as appropriate.
c) The posthumous nature of the degree will be indicated on the diploma, the student’s
permanent record in the Office of the Registrar, and in the commencement program.
Second Bachelor’s Degree
Campbell University may grant a second bachelor’s degree to an individual who holds a prior
bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution. A candidate for a second bachelor’s
degree must complete a minimum of 32 semester hours in residence at Campbell University
beyond those hours earned for a prior degree. Of these, at least 12 hours must be completed in
the major courses numbered 300 or above. All major, core curriculum/general education (e.g.,
religion, foreign language), and specific degree requirements (e.g., CUW) must be fulfilled.
A student may simultaneously pursue two different bachelor’s degrees from Campbell
University by completing all degree requirements for the primary and secondary degrees, and by
completing a minimum of 32 semester hours in residence at Campbell University beyond those
hours required for the primary degree. Of the additional 32 hours required, at least 12 hours must
be completed in the major courses numbered 300 or above. For both degrees (primary and
secondary), all major, core curriculum/general education (e.g., religion, foreign language), and
specific degree requirements (e.g., CUW) must be fulfilled. Candidates who qualify for multiple
undergraduate degrees will be recognized during the commencement ceremony for only one
degree; therefore, candidates must decide which degree they prefer to have recognized.
Campbell University may grant a second bachelor's degree to an individual who holds a
prior bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. A candidate for a
second bachelor's degree must complete a minimum of 32 semester hours in residence
at Campbell University beyond those hours earned for a prior degree. Of these, at least
12 hours must be completed in the major courses numbered 300 or above. All major,
core curriculum/general education (e.g., religion, foreign language) and specific degree
41
requirements (e.g., CUW) must be fulfilled.

candidate to two degrees.
ADDRESS CHANGES:
Students wishing to change their permanent address or the address to which they wish
their grades to be mailed must complete a Change of Address Form in the Registrar’s
Office.
ADVISER CHANGES:
Students wishing to change their major and adviser must do so on a Change of Adviser
Form which they may obtain from the Registrar’s Office. The student must take the
Change of Adviser Form to his current adviser who will sign the form and give the
student his department file which contains copies of his grade reports, drop-add forms,
Adviser Form, etc. The student will take the file to the new adviser who will sign the
Change of Adviser Form and retain the department file. The student and the new adviser
will review the file to make sure that the file is complete and contains a record of all of
the student’s grades to date. The student returns the Change of Adviser Form to the
Registrar’s Office where the change is recorded in the computer. The new adviser will
need to request any information that is missing from the student’s file from the
Registrar’s Office.
REQUEST FOR OVERLOADS:
An overload for undergraduate students is any schedule for more than 18.5 semester
hours during any combination of concurrent semesters or regular terms. Consequently, a
student enrolled for twelve (12) hours on the main campus and six (6) hours at any other
campus location(s) during the same term or combination of terms during the regular fall
and spring semesters is enrolled for the maximum credit allowed for a regular semester.
The University will not approve of any student sitting for more than twenty-two (22)
semester hours during a regular semester. The student is charged an overload fee at the
regular hourly rate for any hours over 18.5. Students must have their overloads approved
by their academic adviser, the dean of the school, and the registrar.
REQUEST FOR DEFERMENT FROM JURY DUTY:
42
Students are often called upon to serve jury duty concurrent with their enrollment in
classes. When this situation occurs during examination or graduation periods, the
Registrar’s Office is often called upon to request a deferment from jury duty on behalf of
the student. As long as a student is not already seated on a jury, we will provide the
following letter:
Sample Letter to Student Informing Him/Her that a Subpoena has been issued
[Today’s Date]
[Student’s Full Name]
[Student’s Current Address]
[City, State, Zip Code]
Dear [Student’s Name]:
The registrar at Campbell University has received a subpoena from [Issuer of the Subpoena (name/office)] directing us to provide your complete
academic file to [Recipient of the Record] in reference to [Court Case or Docket Number].
This letter is to inform you of our intent to comply with this subpoena unless you instruct us not to within the next ten (10) work days. You may
wish to seek the counsel of your attorney in this matter. Under the terms of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA] of 1974, the
University is required to inform you that your records have been subpoenaed and of our intent to comply with the order.
May we please hear from you by [10th day from today’s date] if you object to our compliance with the subpoena or you wish to contest the order
through your attorney.
Sincerely,
J. David McGirt
Registrar
INDEPENDENT STUDY COURSES:
Independent study is any type of study which is conducted under the supervision of an
instructor but which is not available as a regularly scheduled course or which is a
regularly scheduled course but is not currently available.
Credit hours will be given for each independent study course as listed in the catalog for
regularly scheduled classes.
The student and faculty member will work out the format of each course and will adhere
to the standards set by the department.
Department standards will include the following:
1.
No student may take more than one three-semester hour independent study course
per semester. Furthermore, no student shall present more than nine credit hours in
independent study toward a major without the approval of the discipline
department chairman, adviser, and the dean of the college/school.
2.
The student’s schedule should allow for an average of three hours of work per
43
week per semester hour, including time spent in meeting with the professor.
3.
A clear written understanding should be established between the student and
professor concerning the objectives of the study, procedures, reading, written
work, travel, and means of evaluation.
Supervision of independent study will be on a volunteer basis for the professor. No
professor will have more than three independent studies at any time. All independent
study contracts shall be approved by the faculty adviser, the supervising professor, the
discipline department chairman, the appropriate dean, and the registrar.
Veterans enrolled in independent study courses must also be enrolled in 12 semester
hours of traditional course work to qualify for veterans’ benefits.
Lexicon of Most Frequently Used Terms:
Academic Forgiveness Policy–Campbell University has a “one time” academic forgiveness
policy for courses completed at Campbell University. To be eligible to benefit from
the terms of the policy, a candidate’s record that includes terms which are eight (8)
years or older may be considered for academic forgiveness.
Note: All grade resolutions including an application of the “Academic
Forgiveness Policy” must be initiated and completed prior to a student’s graduation
from the University.
Under the terms of the policy, we will award credit hours only for any course on which
the candidate has eared a grade of ‘C’ or better. Students will not be required to repeat
courses on which they have earned a ‘D’; however, no credit hours toward graduation
will be allowed for ‘D’ grades. Failing grades will not be charged against the
student’s grade point average.
Academically ineligible–any student who incurs a quality point deficit equal to or in excess of
40 points is in jeopardy of being declared academically ineligible. When a student is
declared academically ineligible, they can not return to the university for the
subsequent semester. A Retention Committee meeting is held in May of each year
following the spring semester grade reporting period to determine the academic status
of marginal students. A student who is declared academically ineligible may attend
summer school and earn two “Bs” on three-hour courses with no grade below a “C” to
re-establish eligibility to enroll for the fall semester. Failure to attend summer school
and meet the minimum requirements means that the student must forfeit enrollment for
a minimum of one semester. The student may reapply for admission after a one
semester absence from the university; however, the right to reapply does not guarantee
acceptance. The file is reviewed by the Admissions Committee who must be satisfied
that the student’s circumstances have changed and that there is good reason to believe
that the student can meet the minimum standards required for graduation.
44
American Indian or Alaskan Native–A person having origins in any of the original peoples of
North American and who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or
community recognition.
Asian or Pacific Islander–A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far
East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or Pacific Islands. This includes people
form China, Japan, Korea, the Philippine Islands, American Samoa, India, and
Vietnam.
Associate’s Degree–An award that normally requires at least 2 but less than 4 years of full-time
equivalent college work.
Black, non-Hispanic–A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa
(except those of Hispanic origin).
BOAP--is a mnemonic in COLLEAGUE that makes reference to a student’s account. If a
student has a “BOAP” (Business Office Approval), they are cleared to pre-register or
register for the current term.
Certificate– a formal award certifying the satisfactory completion of a postsecondary education
program.
CIP--(Classification of Instructional Programs)–A NCES publication that provides a numerical
classification and standard terminology for secondary and postsecondary
instructional programs.
CIP Code--A six-digit code in the form xx.xxxx that identifies instructional program specialties
within educational institutions.
CLEP--CLEP is an acronym for the College Level Examination Program. A subsidiary of the
College Board, CLEP is a testing service whereby students may earn college
credits on any one or more of 34 CLEP examinations. Additional and
comprehensive information is available on-line at www.collegeboard.com/clep
Contact Hour--A unit of measure that represents an hour of scheduled instruction given to
students. Also referred to as a clock hour. We normally measure our laboratory
sections in terms of contact hours.
Continuing Student–a student who remains in continuous enrollment from one regular semester
or term to the next. Students do not need to attend summer school to be
considered continuing students.
Core Curriculum– at Campbell University, the core curriculum refers to a series of courses
Civilization (6 semester hours), mathematics/logic/computer science (6 semester
hours), religion (6 semester hours), physical education (3 semester hours), foreign
language (6-9 semester hours), fine art (3 semester hours), science (8 semester
hours), and cultural enrichment (3 semester hours). In addition to the general core
45
curriculum, each student must complete a major core composed of courses
specified by their chosen discipline.
Credit Hour--A unit of measure representing an hour (50 minutes) of instruction over a 16-week
period in a semester or trimester system or a 10-week period in a quarter system.
It is applied toward the total number of hours needed for completing the
requirements for a degree, diploma, certificate, or other formal award.
THE CARNEGIE UNIT—is a unit of measurement used by secondary and postsecondary schools to assure uniformity and consistency in assigning credit for
courses awarded by an institution. Thus, Campbell University uses this unit in
defining a semester hour of credit as equivalent to a minimum of three hours of
work per week for a 16 week semester. Courses are reported and recorded in
semester hours with one semester hour covering between 650-700 minutes. A
three semester hour course usually contains the equivalent of 2,100 minutes of
instruction. The traditional three-hour course includes between 42 -45 fiftyminute sessions or 27-29 eighty-minute sessions. The application of this
definition requires that all engaged in the process continually adjust for the
evolving differences in the methods of delivery, the nature and scope of material,
the pedagogy, and the varying ways students commit to the process of education
including the pace at which they learn. It is further assumed and expected that
students in traditional courses will spend at a minimum an additional two hours of
preparation for every hour of instruction.
In non-traditional courses such as Directed Independent Studies and Distance
Education conducted over the Internet, the University intends that student
learning per credit is the equivalent of between 42 and 45 hours of coursework for
the semester or term through activities that demonstrate student competency in the
learning outcomes while observing the standards and best design practices
established by the University’s Distance Education program. The faculty are
responsible for ensuring that the expected quantity of student learning relative to
credit hours is achieved.
The process for approving courses for credit is a multi-stepped one which
includes the formal request for a new course in which the requirements, credit
value, instructional materials, budgetary issues, method of delivery, and learning
outcomes are identified. This initial process provides compelling evidence of the
need for the course and how that course will expand the mission of the department
specifically and the University in general. Requestors file through the appropriate
Department Chair who subsequently submits the request to curriculum
committees within the appropriate schools. If approved, the credit proposal
undergoes the scrutiny of the University Curriculum Council for final approval.
This council is composed of faculty and administrative persons across the
University Community.
46
Degree--An award conferred by a college, university, or other postsecondary education
institution as official recognition for the successful completion of a program of studies.
Diploma--A formal document certifying the successful completion of a prescribed program of
studies.
FERPA—Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act—Frequent references to FERPA
appear throughout this Handbook. FERPA refers to the federal law passed by
Congress in 1974 protecting students’ rights with respect to educational records.
FTE [Full Time Equivalent]–is a method of measuring enrollment. A full-time equivalent
they carry a minimum of 12 semester hours.
First-Professional Certificate (Post-Degree)– An award that requires completion of an
organized program of study designed for persons who have completed the first-professional
degree. Examples could be refresher courses or additional units of study in a specialty or
subspecialty.
First-Professional Degree–An award that requires completion of a program that meets all of the
following criteria: (1) completion of the academic requirements to begin practice in
the profession; (2) at least 2 years of college work prior to entering the program; and
(3) a total of at least 6 academic years of college work to complete the degree
program, including prior required college work plus the length of the professional
program itself. First-professional degrees may be awarded in the following fields:
$
Chiropractic (D.C., D.C.M.)
$
Dentistry (D.D.S., D.M.D.)
$
Medicine (M.D.)
$
Optometry (O.D.)
$
Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.)
$
Pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
$
Podiatry (D.P.M., D.P., Pod.D.)
$
Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)
$
Law (L.L.B., J.D.)
$

gpa [Grade Point Average]–a student’s grade point average or gpa is determined by dividing
the total number of quality points earned by the total number of semester hours
attempted. If a student has earned 227 quality points on 61 semester hours attempted,
the grade point average would be 227/61 = 3.721. To meet the minimum standard for
graduation, a candidate must have a grade point average of 2.000 (“C” average) at
Campbell University and in the major. Some majors (education and social work)
require a higher minimum grade point average for graduation. These programs require
a minimum gpa of 2.500 for graduation.
Hispanic--A person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other
Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
47
IPEDS is an acronym for Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. IPEDS is an arm of
the US Department of Commerce and Bureau of Census that collects data for the
National Center for Education Statistics. Each year Campbell University has a series
of IPEDS reports that are mandatory. These reports are distributed throughout the
academic year.
Master’s Degree-- An award that requires the successful completion of a program of study of at
least the full-time equivalent of 1 but not more than 2 academic years of work beyond
the bachelor’s degree.
NCHED--is an acronym for North Carolina Higher Education Department. All North Carolina
postsecondary institutions have an annual series of NCHED reports to file with the
state.
Nonresident Alien– a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in
this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain
indefinitely.
Quality Point–are points assigned to grades in an academic “banking” system. Campbell
University is on the four-point system. Under this system, an “A” is worth four points
per hour, a “B” is worth three points per hour, a “C” is worth two points per hour, a
“D” is worth one point per hour, and there are no points awarded for “F” or failing
grades. A student who earns an “A” in a three hour course has
3 hours X 4 points per hour = 12 total points
Quality Point Deficit–refers to the number of quality points a student needs to attain a ‘C’
average or a grade point average of 2.000. Any student who does not have a gpa of
2.000 has a quality point deficit. To determine the size of the deficit, simply double
the semester hours attempted and subtract the total quality points from that sum. Note
the following example:
John Doe has 25 semester hours attempted, 15 semester hours passed with 30 quality
points and a grade point average of 1.200. What is his deficit? Simply double the
hours attempted, 25, which yields a sum of 50. Subtract the total number of quality
points, 30, from 50, and we see that John Doe has a quality point deficit of 20 points.
If John’s cloud has a silver lining, it is found in the fact that he may repeat the 10
semester hours that he failed. Hopefully, he will improve his grade. Since Campbell
only uses the last attempt of a course to compute the grade point average and thus the
quality point deficit, John could help himself substantially by passing the courses he
has failed. Were he to make a ‘C’ average on those same 10 hours, he would remove
his deficit in its entirety.
Returning Student–a student who is re-enrolling in the university after an absence of one
semester or more.
48
Semester--A sixteen-week term of study. Campbell University divides its academic year into
two regular semesters and two summer sessions. The fall semester generally extends
from the third week in August until the end of the second week of December. The
spring semester generally extends from the first Monday following New Year’s Day
until the end of the second week of May.
Semester hour--a semester hour is usually considered to be 700 minutes of academic
instruction. The accepted standard for three-semester hours of credit is 2,100 minutes.
White, non-Hispanic–A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North
Africa, or the Midle East (except those of Hispanic origin).
