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 extracurricular activities.

A high school student desiring to attend Campbellsville University should apply for admission early during his or her senior year. 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.

At minimum, a transfer student desiring to enter Campbellsville University must be in good standing and eligible to return to his or her previous institution.
If the college or university transcript does not clearly show that the transfer student graduated from high school, the Office of Admissions must receive the applicant’s official and final high school transcript regardless of total credit hours previously attained.
Transfer credit evaluation is under the authority of the Director of Student Records, who determines the applicability of transferred work from accredited institutions to the student’s degree program.
Credits of students transferring from accredited colleges and universities will be accepted when they meet the scholastic standards required at Campbellsville University. Although credit for a "D" grade will transfer, students must repeat any English composition courses, any developmental studies courses, and any courses in their majors, minors, and areas of concentration taken elsewhere in which "D" grades were received.
Transfer students must complete all of the University’s requirements for graduation. Additionally, they must complete at least onethird of the course requirements in their majors, minors, and areas of concentration at Campbellsville University, including at least 30 hours of credit in residence.
