Academic Support

Many students enter college without a declared major/minor, needing assistance in some course work. Others enter college with a need to improve English, reading, math or study skills. The Office of Academic Support provides assessment, major/minor advising, tutoring, and instruction in English, reading, math, and study skills for those students.

GS 101 is a three-hour credit course designed as a transition course from high school to Campbellsville University. It is a course that will encourage, motivate, and teach both study skills and life skills.

All advising/scheduling is coordinated through the Office of Academic Support. General Education advisors work with students during their first 30 hours of credit. Upon completion of the 30 hours, they are transferred to a major professor who monitors course work through graduation.

The Office of Academic Support provides consultation to assist students who are finding it difficult to choose a major and/or vocation. To assist in this decision, testing/assessments are available through the Office Career Services.

Provide academic advising to students in Introductory Studies coursework and provide support to “at risk” students.

Group as well as individual peer tutoring is provided by students who have completed the class with a grade of “B” or better during the previous semester. However, most is individual peer tutoring. Although the Office attempts to assist all students for any class requested, it cannot guarantee all needs to be met. The Office of Academic Support is dependent upon the number of students available to serve as tutors.

Students who are admitted with certain academic deficiencies are required to take Introductory Studies courses. Recognizing the need for these students to "catch up" and the collation of success to attendance, the office provides the Student Intervention Program.

Career Services

The Office of Career Services provides help for the student in choosing a major, career planning, and preparing for employment during the educational process and after graduation. Through the use of instruments like: Strong Interest Inventory, personality profiles, self evaluations, and spiritual gifts profiles, Career Services staff will lead students step-by-step to find the right career path. Current job postings for both part-time and full-time jobs for students are maintained by Career Services.
Freshman Year Experience classes are required for all freshmen; seminars and career planning classes are offered for seniors. Freshman students will also be required to be part of FIRST CLASS, a semester-long program that embraces the Christian liberal arts status of CU while developing the virtues of character, leadership, and financial stewardship. Students will have opportunity to attend Job Fairs both on campus and off campus throughout the school year. Job Positions and Job Fairs are posted on CSC Bulletin Board (located on lower floor of AD) and on our web page: www.campbellsville.edu, under Academics, click “Career Services.”

Chapel / Convocation Program

The chapel/convocation program is designed to provide opportunities for corporate worship and exposure to a variety of informative speakers and presentations. Chapel/convocation speakers and performers are guests of the University community. Chapel/convocations are held each Wednesday of the semester with the exception of the first week and last week of a semester and during midterm week. Emergencies or special circumstances might necessitate changes in this schedule at the discretion of the Chapel/Convocation Committee. Attendance is required of all members of the University family including faculty, staff, and students. Attendance requirements for students are governed by the following:

Full-Time Semesters	Number of Chapel/Convocations Required
1	8
2	8
3	16
4	24
5	32
6	40
7 or more	48

The number of fulltime semesters refers to the fulltime semesters remaining in the student’s degree program at the time of first enrollment at Campbellsville University (that is, the minimum fulltime semesters needed to complete degree requirements). Two parttime semesters are considered the equivalent of one fulltime semester.

Chapel/convocation attendance is cumulative. The student may attend any number of chapels, convocations, or other approved events in a semester. Once the number needed to meet the graduation requirement is reached, referring to the table above, the student does not have to attend any longer, but is welcome and encouraged to do so.
A student’s convocation credit from all previous terms is available on TigerNet. In addition, the student’s current total can be checked at any time by going to the Office of Academic Affairs.
A number of additional events are approved for convocation credit. This helps the student attain the required number sooner and it help the student who cannot attend the regularly scheduled weekly chapel/convocation.
Chapel/convocation from past semesters can be made up by attending extra convocations in the current semester. The student may also make a written appeal to the Chapel/Convocation Committee regarding options for make up of convocation credit.
