Frequently Asked Questions
Campbell University wants parents and families to feel supported throughout their students’ college
experience. If you have a question that is not addressed here, please feel free to contact the Office
of the Vice President for Student Life at brownj@campbell.edu or 910-893-1540.
How do I deposit money/check balance on my student’s Camel Card?
Creek Bucks are funds deposited on the Camel Card and are redeemable at the Campbell University
bookstore, vending, all on-campus dining locations and some off-campus dining locations.
To add Creek Bucks to a Camel Card, visit Blackboard at: www.blackboard.campbell.edu. You will
need the student’s ID number and first and last name.
When do students sign up for classes for fall term?
New students will receive their fall schedule when they attend summer orientation. After the first
semester, students will participate in pre-registration just after mid-term (mid-October for spring
registration; mid-March for summer and fall registration). The registration schedule is coordinated by
the Office of the Registrar and information can be found on their website.
How do I send my child a package?
Campbell University encourages students to sign up for a post office box at the local US Post Office,
located adjacent to campus, for regular mail delivery. If you would like to send a package directly to
campus, you can send it to:
Student Name
265 Main Street
Buies Creek, NC 27506
What about vehicles on campus?
All students are permitted to bring vehicles to campus. Vehicles need to be registered with the Office
of Campus Safety. Students should complete the vehicle registration form and pay the associated
fee. They will then receive a parking sticker that indicates the locations on campus where they are
permitted to park.
May I access my student’s grades online?
Students may view and print their midterm and final grades using WebAccess. We encourage you to
have a conversation with your student about how they will share this information. Without a student’s
written consent, Campbell University cannot release a student’s records, even to parents or
guardians. If your student would like to allow access of their academic records to a family member,
they must complete an Authorization of Information Disclosure and file this form with the Office of the
Registrar.
My student just called, panicked about the first big test. Who can help?
Students can receive tutoring for any course on campus through the Student Success office. The CU
Tutoring Center offers drop-in tutoring for Math and Science courses, Sunday through Thursday
evenings. Students can receive a peer tutor for all other courses. Some courses also offer group
study sessions or Supplemental Instruction. The Writing Center can also assist your student with any
paper for any class. Students can visit the Student Success website or email
slsupportga@campbell.edu for more information.
My student is worried that she doesn’t remember what she is reading and really doesn’t know
how to study. She says it’s just too hard. Who can help?
Student Success offers an academic coaching service to help students improve their academic skills.
Academic Coaches work individually with students to help them learn new ways to manage their time,
organize their notes, remember what they read and study smarter! Students interested in academic
coaching can contact the Student Success office at slretentionga@campbell.edu for more
information.
My student had an IEP or 504 plan in high school. He is worried about taking tests without his
extra time but doesn’t want anyone to know about his disability. Who can help?
Students with documented disabilities can receive services similar to those available in high school.
They do have more privacy rights as adults and they must register with the Student Success office to
receive accommodations. Students who are injured or become ill can qualify as well. Contact Laura
Rich at supportservices@campbell.edu for more information.
My student started out sure of exactly what she wanted to major in and had her career path all
laid out. Now, she’s really struggling in her major class and doesn’t know if that’s what she
wants to do anymore. Who can help?
Students who may be unsure about their major and career goals may want to visit the Student
Success office to complete an interest and skills inventory. These assessments can help students
pair their strengths with various career fields. Interested students should contact Jessica Randall at
career@campbell.edu for more information.
My student seems to be having a difficult time adjusting to life away from home. I think he
would benefit from talking with someone. What resources are available for him?
Campbell University staff and faculty are accessible to students and always willing to assist students
in their various transitions to and throughout college. A few key resources where you may want to
direct your student are listed below.
