Welcome Weekend Event Details:

Silver Track

This track is for students who are ready to register for classes. Meet with an academic advisor to plan your schedule and take your next step toward an exciting semester ahead! Check-in starts at 11:30 a.m. EST at the Ransdell Chapel.

Maroon Track

This track is for students who need placement testing before registering for classes. Please read our testing policy here. It starts at 8:30 a.m. EST at the Heilman Welcome Center. Please be ready to take a placement test upon arrival.

Placement Test Scores: This year, we are offering virtual placement testing at no additional cost to you! If you are interested in testing virtually to avoid testing when you arrive to set up your class schedule, please email your counselor or admissions@campbellsville.edu.

Each new student, before enrollment at the Campbellsville campus of Campbellsville University (CU), must complete placement testing in both English and mathematics. The placement testing requirement applies to any new student (freshman or transfer student) who is enrolling at CU with less than 24 cumulative earned college credit hours.

To be exempt from this placement test requirement, a student must provide proof that demonstrates proficiency in English and mathematics before enrollment in courses. Students are encouraged to submit documentation showing proficiency to the enrollment office as a part of the application process. Download placement testing requirements here!
