The following information is being sent on behalf of the Registrar’s office.


 This email is for informational purposes only and does not mean a student has been cleared for graduation.

To students graduating in December: Students will not be given final academic clearance to graduate or approved to walk only, until all grades have been verified for the fall semester for all campuses the week of graduation. Once all verification processes are complete a final list will be posted to the Application Received List section (middle of the page) on the website and a final email will be sent to your Campbell University student email account.

If you are walking under the 6 Hour Rule, please make sure you have submitted all your required paperwork to the Registrar’s Office. You will be notified to your Campbell University email of your final status once all grades are verified the week of graduation.

To all August Graduates and December Candidates: Please check the current Application Received List, to make sure your participation in the ceremony is correct and your name is listed as it will appear in the program.

This affords the opportunity to all students for participating in the ceremony either virtually or in person.
