Admission of freshmen to Campbellsville University is primarily reserved for students who have completed college-preparatory programs in high school with good records of academic achievement while promoting well-rounded personal development through participation in various organizations and extra-curricular activities. Additionally, Campbellsville University will always remain an institution of special opportunity for the few students, despite lower levels of accomplishment in high school, who are deemed fully capable of and highly motivated to achieving success in college.
To enter Campbellsville University as a degree-seeking freshman, a student will take the following steps:
A high school student desiring to attend Campbellsville University should apply for admissions early during his or her senior year. Provisional acceptance may be granted as soon as a student has successfully completed six semesters in high school.
When taking the ACT or SAT examination, an interested student should list Campbellsville University to receive the official test scores directly from the national testing center. The college code number is 1500(ACT)/1097(SAT). If this is not done at the time of the examination, the student may send a completed request form (available from the Office of Admissions) to ACT or SAT to have the test results sent to the University. In the meantime, unofficial ACT or SAT scores (for example, as listed on a student's high school transcript) should be provided to the Office of Admissions to expedite the process of determining eligibility for provisional acceptance and the award of academic scholarships. However, formal acceptance for admission to Campbellsville University will be granted only when the student's official and final high school transcript (showing date of graduation) and official ACT or SAT score report have been submitted to the Office of Admissions staff for review and approval.
If any degree-seeking applicant's grade-point average or ACT/SAT score does not meet the University's minimum requirements (2.0 GPA, 19 ACT, 890 SAT), the Admissions Committee appointed by the President of Campbellsville University will determine if the student should be admitted on a conditional basis. Such an applicant is encouraged to submit any information and recommendations that might be useful during the evaluation. A determination will be made of the likelihood of the student achieving academic success at Campbellsville University in view of the high academic standards maintained at the institution. The classroom performance of each conditionally accepted applicant will be closely monitored.
Degree-seeking students who are not high school graduates may present their scores on the Test of General Education Development (GED) and a State Department of Education Certificate (or equivalent) in lieu of high school transcripts. An average GED test score of at least 45 is required. As with other entering freshmen, these students are required to take the ACT or SAT examination.
