UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT HANDBOOK 2020-2021
This edition supersedes all previous editions.
Compiled by the Office of The Vice President for Student Life.
Campbell University, Inc. reserves the right to alter the terms and conditions of
this handbook without prior notice.
The University is Christian-oriented but not sectarian. Each year, many religious
denominations and faiths are represented on campus. However, it is expected
that all those who attend the University will be sympathetic to its stated
purposes.
Campbell, as a Baptist affiliated university, is committed to teaching students to
think with Christian values as their basic guidelines. Accordingly, it is incumbent
upon the University to provide its students with an honor code that, in its
observance, makes more nearly possible an environment whereby the student
can grow spiritually and morally, as well as intellectually.
To perpetuate these Christian ideals and principles, it is the responsibility of each
student to maintain a high standard of personal behavior. Thus, once a student
matriculates at Campbell University, he/she should demonstrate a willingness to
abide by the Honor Code while a member of the student body.
Student Handbook
The Student Handbook is published annually upon request and is also available
on the University’s web site. It is reviewed and approved by the Administration
and represents the official policies, regulations and procedures relating to
student housing, student services, student conduct, and other important
information for the undergraduate student body. The handbook also contains
official policies related to Campus Safety. (When a student is admitted to
Campbell University, the student becomes responsible for knowing and
abiding by all rules and regulations of the University as published in the
University Bulletin and the Student Handbook.)
This handbook should not be construed as an offer to contract or as a contract
between the University and any student.
2
University policy is the responsibility of the Administrative structure, developed
from the Board of Trustees through the University President and the Cabinet.
Policies in the current edition of this handbook reflect approval by the
Administration, up to and including the Board of Trustees as appropriate. Policy
making and amending is by its nature a fluid process, on-going to secure
institutional health; and as such, the most recently adopted or amended policies
may not appear in previous or current University documents. Due to COVID-19,
the Campbell University Health and Safety Taskforce may implement additional
policies that may not appear in this copy of the Student Handbook, but will take
precedence over any conflicting policies in this copy. New policy becomes
effective from the point it is established. Should errors in this handbook lead to
any inconsistency with the University Bulletin, the latter shall take precedence.
Welcome Letter from the Vice President for Student Life
It is my joy to welcome you to Campbell University in Buies Creek for the
extraordinary 2020-2021 academic year. If you are a first-year student, I am glad
you have selected Campbell University for your education on a university
campus of academic excellence. If you are a returning student, I thank you for
continuing your pursuit of higher education at Campbell.
You are now a member of the Campbell community and you will benefit from
being a part of this community, the enrichment of the Campbell experience and
making lifelong friendships. The year ahead will be filled with challenges due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. Events, services, and other amenities traditionally
offered throughout the year may not take place in the same manner as previous
years. However, this year also holds many rewards that will enable you to meet
the goals you have hopefully set for your education and academic growth.
Campbell is a place you will grow, mature, embrace diversity, develop leadership
skills, engage in community service, study, enjoy athletic events, participate in
campus recreation, attend a movie or concert, and may even have the
opportunity to ride a camel.
Student Life is available to you throughout this academic year with services,
resources and personnel to assist you on this academic endeavor and campus
life experience. I encourage you to contact us and allow us to support you.
I hope you have a great year both in and out of the classroom!
Dennis N. Bazemore
Vice President for Student Life

University Mission Statement
The mission of Campbell University is to graduate students with exemplary
academic and professional skills who are prepared for purposeful lives and
meaningful service. The University is informed and inspired by its Baptist
heritage and three basic theological and biblical presuppositions: learning is
appointed and conserved by God as essential to the fulfillment of human destiny;
in Christ all things consist and find ultimate unity; and the Kingdom of God in this
world is rooted and grounded in Christian community. The University embraces
the conviction that there is no conflict between the life of faith and the life of
inquiry.
To fulfill its mission, the University:
I. presents a worldview informed by Christian principles and perspectives;
II. affirms that truth is revelatory and transcendent as well as empirical and
rational, and that all truth finds its unity in Jesus Christ;
III. influences development of moral courage, social sensitivity, and ethical
responsibility;
IV. gathers a diverse community of learners;
V. delivers academic instruction in the liberal arts and sciences and
professional preparation at both undergraduate and graduate levels
through traditional, extended campus, and online programs;
VI. transfers to students the vast body of knowledge and values
accumulated over the ages;
VII. encourages students to think critically and creatively;
VIII. fosters the development of intellectual vitality, physical wellness, and
aesthetic sensibility;
IX. forges a community of learning that is committed to the pursuit,
discovery, and dissemination of knowledge;
X. provides students with servant leadership opportunities;
XI. cooperates with other educational institutions to expand learning
opportunities for students;
XII. offers service and other opportunities to the greater community through
athletics, continuing education, cultural enrichment programming.
Student Life Mission Statement
Student Life at Campbell University enhances the Campbell student
experience by providing opportunities and resources for student
learning, student development and student engagement

Code of Honor
Christian higher education has always been a major concern and integral part of
Baptist life in North Carolina. Consequently, over the years, Christian universities
and the church have stood as partners. Campbell University plays an important
role in the mission of the church and the mission of the Kingdom of God on earth.
Campbell University is Christian but not sectarian. Each year, many religious
denominations and faiths are represented on the campus. However, it is
expected that all those who attend the University will be sympathetic to its
stated purposes.
As a Christian university, Campbell is committed to teaching students to think
with Christian values as their basic guidelines. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon
the University to provide its students with a code of honorable behavior that in
its observance makes more nearly possible an environment whereby the student
can grow spiritually, morally, and intellectually.
To perpetuate these Christian ideals and principles, it is the responsibility of each
student to maintain a high standard of personal behavior. Thus, a student who
matriculates at Campbell University should demonstrate a willingness to abide
by the following code while a member of the student body.
The Code of Ethics of Campbell University arises directly out of the institution's
Mission Statement.
The basic principles which guide the development of Christian character and
govern Christian behavior are to be found in the Scriptures. Moral law is the gift
of God and is fully revealed in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The student, by virtue of enrollment, agrees to abide by the rules and moral
precepts which govern the University community. Because of the University's
commitment to the Lordship of Christ over every area of life, wholehearted
obedience to moral law as set forth in the Old and New Testaments and
exemplified in the life of Christ applies to every member of the University
community, regardless of position.
While the Bible does not provide a specific teaching regarding all social practices,
its emphasis on general principles is unmistakable, particularly in circumstances
where lack of self-restraint would be harmful or offensive to others.
Out of these general principles come certain concrete expectations which should
be viewed not negatively but as practical guidelines for conduct and for a
5
productive way of life:
To uphold at all times and in all places, both on- and off-campus, the
University's Mission Statement.
To protect the property rights of others from theft, damage, or misuse.
To adhere to all college policies and regulations, including the rules
governing the use of facilities, housing on and off the campus, and
campus organizations.
To obey, respect, and uphold all local, state and federal laws.
To maintain a standard of dress that insures neatness, cleanliness, and
appropriateness of attire.
To exhibit good taste, decency, and restraint at all times, refraining from
disorderly conduct and indecent, profane, or obscene expression.
To be honest in all behavior, never cheating, plagiarizing, or knowingly
giving false information.
To abstain from any sexual relations outside the bonds of marriage.
To exemplify principles of honor, integrity, and morality, and to help
others fulfill their obligations under this code.
To treat all other students, faculty, and staff with respect including refraining
from abusive behavior, sexual exploitation, solicitation, harassment, or other
Title IX prohibited behaviors.

Funds are deposited and used at various locations as defined below.
1. Campbell Bucks: Campbell Bucks are associated with meal plan purchases
and are redeemable at on-campus dining locations. These funds are not
cumulative from semester-to-semester; it’s “use or lose” for each semester.
2. Creek Bucks: Deposits in the form of cash, checks, and credit/debit cards
made on the Camel Card are called “Creek Bucks” and can be used at
campus facilities, such as the CU Bookstore, Wiggins Library, Food Service
locations, designated vending machines, designated copiers, and food
purchases at sporting events held in the John W. Pope Convocation Center
and the Barker-Lane Stadium. Creek Bucks are transferrable from semester-
to-semester. Creek Bucks may also be used at designated off-site locations.
For the most up-to date list of locations, please visit:

options for depositing funds into the Creek Bucks account.
Creek Bucks Deposits: Parents, students, friends, etc. can deposit
funds to the students card by visiting

name and seven digit student ID number, accessible on the back of
the Camel Card.
Business Office: The Business Office accepts cash, check,

inform the cashier you are depositing to the Camel Card, so it is not
posted to your student account.
Mail a check, money order, or certified funds to the Business Office.
Be sure to note "for deposit to the Camel Card" on your remittance.
Each Camel Card will include a photograph which clearly shows the face of the
cardholder. No Cardholder who is wearing a hat, head covering, or dark glasses
is allowed to be photographed for the purpose of the Camel Card. Campbell
University reserves the right to make exceptions to this rule in order to
accommodate a Cardholder’s religious practices or medical condition. Campbell
University has the right to determine, in its sole discretion, if a photograph meets
the above standard and to require the Cardholder to be photographed again in
order to meet this standard.
3. Obtaining a Camel Card
In order to obtain a Camel Card, a student must be a registered student
and present valid picture identification. Faculty and staff members must
be currently employed with Campbell University and show valid picture

made at various locations on campus during orientation, registration, and
other peak periods. Students and guests will be notified of these locations
during these times.
4. Unused Funds
“Creek Bucks” deposits are transferrable through all semesters. Unused
Creek Bucks are transferred from the Camel Card to the student’s account
when the student either graduates or withdrawals from the University.
Students may request the transfer of Creek Bucks to their student account
in April. Creek Bucks transferred to the student account will be applied to
any outstanding student account balance. If the return of Creek Bucks to
15
the student account creates a refundable balance, the student is eligible for
a refund. A paper check will not be issued for refunds less than $1.00.
Refundable balances less than $1.00 may be claimed by the student by
contacting the Business Office. Unclaimed funds are subject to enter the
escheats process.
5. Lost or Stolen Card
The cardholder must notify the Campbell University Office of Student Life
if their Camel Card is lost or stolen. This office is located on the 2
nd
floor
of the Wallace Building. Students may also go to the Blackboard System
and report the card lost or stolen. Cardholders must report the loss within
one (1) university business day of the loss. Upon notification, the lost or
stolen card will be deactivated and a new card issued.
Liability of a Cardholder will not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) for
unauthorized transactions if the loss is reported within one (1) university
business day of the actual loss. If a lost or stolen card is not reported within
one (1) university business day, the Cardholder will assume liability for
unauthorized transactions. Campbell University will have no liability if the

a new card will be issued without charge. A new card will only be issued

D. Camel Direct Textbook Program
Effective fall 2019 semester, Campbell University offers the flat-rate Camel
Direct Textbook Program to our main campus undergraduate students. The
program is being provided in an effort to provide affordable and timely delivery
of all textbooks and resources for main campus undergraduate student
coursework. The program provides all required textbooks, lab manuals, access
codes, and electronic book versions. The program does not include consumables
that cannot be returned, such as lab goggles, dissection kits, molecular biology
kits, engineering kits, or nursing kits.
All main campus undergraduate students will be assessed the Camel Direct
Textbook Program fee in accordance with the published tuition and fees
schedule.
In accordance with federal regulations, Campbell University must establish a
policy under which an eligible Title IV financial aid recipient may opt-out of the
flat-rate Camel Direct Textbook program. This policy applies to both Title IV
recipients and non-Title IV recipients.
1. Opt-Out Policy:
Students opting out of the program must opt-out before the first day of
class and may not re-enter the program during the semester.
Students electing to opt-out of the program must remit the Title IV
Financial Aid Recipient Textbook Program Opt-out form in person to the
Campbell University Business Office located in the McLeod Admissions and
Financial Aid Center before the first day of class. Emailed copies of the
form will be accepted, IF the form is emailed to
CamelDirect@campbell.edu from the students CU email address. CU email
address will be verified by Business Office staff.
Students electing to opt-out of the program and have received their books
from Campbell University Bookstore through the program are required to
return the books to the bookstore within 2 business days of remitting the
opt-out form to the Business Office. Students failing to do so will be
assessed the full cost of each book to their student account.
17
Title IV aid recipients have the option of purchasing books at their own
expense. It is the responsibility of the student to purchase all required
books for the program should they opt-out of the program.
It is the student’s responsibility to review the book list on our website and
confirm the title and ISBN number for the current book being used for the
course with their instructor, as editions can change frequently.
Students will be charged the flat-rate fee upon enrollment. Upon receiving
official notice that a student wishes to opt-out of the program, the fee will
be credited within 10 business days. It will then be understood that the
University is no longer responsible for issuing textbooks to the student.
E. FERPA Policy
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, (FERPA)
is a Federal law that protects the confidentiality of student information. More
specifically, FERPA protects personally identifiable information in students
education records from disclosure without written consent unless an exception
to the consent requirement applies.
At Campbell University, FERPA protections go into effect on the first day of
classes of the student’s first term of enrollment. The FERPA release form must

fees in accordance with the published tuition refund schedule at
https://www.campbell.edu/business-office/policies/ . I have read the terms and
conditions of the published tuition refund schedule and understand those terms
are incorporated herein by reference. I further understand that my failure to

enrollment and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility
was calculated. If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my
financial aid eligibility may decrease and some or all of the financial aid awarded

If some or all of my financial aid is revoked because I dropped or failed to attend
class, I agree to repay all revoked aid that was disbursed to my account and
resulted in a credit balance that was refunded to me.

fines, bookstore charges, or any other amount, in accordance with the terms of
the aid.

includes aid from the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
(SEOG), Direct Loan, PLUS Loan, Perkins Loan, and TEACH Grant programs.
Prizes, Awards, Scholarships, Grants: I understand that all prizes, awards,
scholarships and grants awarded to me by Campbell University, Incorporated will
be credited to my student account and applied toward any outstanding balance.
I further understand that my receipt of a prize, award, scholarship or grant is
22
considered a financial resource according to federal Title IV financial aid
regulations, and may therefore reduce my eligibility for other federal and/or
state financial aid (i.e., loans, grants, Federal Work Study) which, if already
disbursed to my student account, must be reversed and returned to the aid
source.

of each book will be charged to my student account.
I understand that if I opt-out of the Camel Direct Textbook Program, it is my
responsibility to ensure I purchase the correct book edition and supplements
required by my instructor. I understand if I opt-out of the Camel Direct Textbook
Program, and fail to obtain the proper textbooks prior to the beginning of my
23
class, my grade could suffer due to the inability to read or complete the required
textbooks assignments; furthermore, I understand it is not the responsibility of
Campbell University, Incorporated faculty or staff to provide extenuating
accommodations for me.
7. METHOD OF BILLING
I understand that Campbell University, Incorporated uses electronic billing (e-
bill) as its official billing method, and therefore I am responsible for viewing and

II. Academic Conduct
A. Academic Conduct Statement of Principle
The Mission Statement of Campbell University states that the mission of the
University "is to graduate students with exemplary academic and professional
skills who are prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful service." Consistent
with this mission, the University expects students to exhibit moral courage and
ethical responsibility.
The University Code of Honor states that members of the University community
should be "honest in all behavior." Each student of Campbell University,
therefore, is expected to personally demonstrate academic integrity. That is,
each student (1) should have an unwavering commitment to doing the best
he/she can with his/her own intellectual resources, (2) should be truthful in all
matters, (3) should maintain appropriate confidentiality when representing the
University, and (4) should encourage academic integrity among all fellow
members of the University community.
By joining this University community, each student acknowledges and agrees to
abide by the precepts stated above.
B. Definition
Students are expected to uphold the high standards set forth above in all of their
academic pursuits. Regrettably, there are occasional lapses. Examples of
academic misconduct include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Providing assistance to another during an exam or on another
assignment in a manner not authorized by the instructor;
2. Copying from another student's paper, lab report, or test;
3. Attempting to give or receive information relative to assignments,
papers, quizzes, exams, etc., in wrongful and inappropriate ways;
4. Providing specific information about a previous test, project, other
assignment which could thereby result in another person gaining an
unfair advantage;
5. Allowing one's work to be presented as the work of someone else;
6. Providing any unauthorized papers, notes, materials, etc. for another
person;
7. Using the words, ideas, or information of another source directly
without properly acknowledging that source. This includes the use of
work (or data) from another student, another author, the Internet,
commercial services, etc; it also includes any portion of a computer
28
program or data file;
8. Utilizing at any time or in any manner not previously authorized by the
faculty member any portion of an exam or other material intended to
be used for evaluation purposes in advance of its administration;
9. Submitting the same work for multiple classes without the knowledge
and permission of all involved faculty;
10. Attempting to influence or modify a grade or academic record in
inappropriate or unfair ways;
11. Concealing, removing, or destroying materials intended for the use of
others;
12. Consulting with other students on projects, papers, labs, assignments,
etc. where such collaboration is not allowed by the professor;
13. Inappropriately using technologies in such a manner as to gain unfair or
inappropriate advantage;
14. Forging, falsifying, or fraudulently using university documents;
15. Recording, scanning, or taking pictures of lectures/exams/quizzes/etc.
without permission, and utilizing them for private or public purposes;
16. Disclosing confidential information to unauthorized sources;
17. Failing to report instances of academic misconduct to appropriate
officials;
18. Lying in official matters, such as purposely furnishing false information.
C. Rationale
Whenever issues of academic misconduct arise, such as described above, the
faculty member must determine the appropriate course of action. The faculty
member shall retain complete discretion in handling such situations and in
awarding grades she (he) deems appropriate. The faculty member's decisions
may be tempered by:
1. A concern for seeking, discovering, and upholding truth;
2. a concern for fairness to all students;
3. a concern to uphold appropriate expectations on matters of academic
honesty and integrity;
4. a concern for determining and applying sanctions commensurate with
the gravity of the offense;
5. a concern of appropriate care for the well-being of (a) student(s) and of
the broader academic community.
29
D. Faculty Actions and Student Sanctions
A number of courses of action are available to the faculty member. For example,
a faculty member may, among other possibilities, counsel with the student as an
initial means to educate and/or reform, counsel with the student and issue an
initial warning, or allow the assignment to be rewritten or the test/quiz/exam to
be retaken.
Should the offense be sufficiently grievous that the faculty member believes a
sanction is in order, faculty may: a) assign a failing grade on the assignment,
paper, quiz, test, lab report, etc., or b) assign a failing grade in the course. Should
either of these sanctions be applied, the faculty member shall a) inform the
student of the grade and the reason(s) for which it was assigned, and b) send a
letter to the Vice President of Student Life documenting the sanction for
academic misconduct to be placed in the student's conduct file in the Office of
Student Life. Once a student has received a sanction in a course for academic
misconduct, the student will be prohibited from officially dropping or
withdrawing from the course.
Should a student be assigned a second sanction as a result of academic
misconduct, as verified in the Student Life Office, it is generally expected that
the student will be suspended from the University for at least the remainder of
the current semester and the following semester. A notation will appear on the
student's transcript: "Academic Suspension."
E. Appeals related to Academic Misconduct
The faculty member retains complete discretion in the awarding of grades
he/she deems appropriate. Should a student wish to appeal a grade decision by
a professor as a result of academic misconduct, the appeal shall be made to the
Chairperson of the Academic Conduct Committee of the Faculty. In cases of a
grade decision that is not the final course grade, the appeal must be made in
writing within three (3) days of receiving the grade. In cases of a grade decision
that is the final course grade, the appeal must be made in writing no later than
one week after the beginning of the next academic term. The Committee will
review the written appeal, and may, at its discretion, meet with the student
and/or the faculty member. Written notification of the Committee's decision
shall be sent to the student, to the faculty member, to the Vice President for
Student Life, and to the Dean of the school to whom the faculty member's
reporting line leads. Within three days of being informed of the Committee's
decision, the student will also have the right, should he/she choose to exercise
30
it, of appealing in writing to the Dean of the school to whom the faculty
member's reporting line leads. The decision of the Dean, or of his/her designee,
is final. Should the decision be to affirm the student's appeal by overturning the
decision of the faculty member and the Committee, the Dean/Dean's designee
shall direct Student Life personnel to remove the sanction letter from the
student's file.
F. Appeal of Suspension due to Academic Misconduct
In cases of a second offense, where the student is to be suspended from the
University, the student has the right to appeal the suspension to the Executive
Student Conduct Committee. The appeal must be made in writing to the Office
of Student Life within three (3) days of receiving from that office notification of
the suspension. The Committee will review the written appeal, and may, at its
discretion, meet with the student and/or the faculty member. The decision of
the Executive Student Conduct Committee regarding the suspension is final, with
no further appeal allowed. Written notification of the Committee's decision shall
be sent to the student and to the faculty member. A copy of the notification will
be filed both in the student's conduct file in the Office of Student Life and in the
Registrar's Office. If the Committee decision is to uphold the suspension, the Vice
President for Student Life shall inform the Registrar to enter a notation on the
student's transcript: "Academic Suspension."
G. Removal of Transcript Notation on Academic Misconduct
A student who has undergone suspension, but re-enrolled with the University,
may petition the Vice President for Student Life to have the transcript notation
"Academic Suspension" removed from his/her transcript. In such cases, the
following considerations must be met:
1. The student must have achieved senior status (98 semester hours);
2. In cases where the suspension was accompanied by a course grade of F
being assigned, the student must have retaken and received a passing
grade in the same course;
3. The student must have had no subsequent instances of academic
misconduct;
4. The student must write a letter to the Vice President for Student Life
requesting a review of the record, with subsequent removal of the
transcript notation.
Upon receiving a student's written request for removal of the transcript
notation, the Vice President for Student Life shall review the record to determine
31
if the above considerations have been met. In cases where the required
considerations have not been met, the Vice President for Student Life shall so
inform the student in writing, with a copy of the correspondence preserved in
the student's conduct file. In cases where they have been met, the Vice President
for Student Life shall so inform the Registrar in writing, with a copy of the
correspondence filed in both the Student Life Office and the Registrar's Office.
The Registrar shall then remove the notation "Academic Suspension" from the
student's transcript. In any case involving removal of the transcript notation
"Academic Suspension," only the notation itself shall be removed; all official
correspondence relative to the situation shall be retained in the student's file in
the Registrar's Office.
H. General Academic Appeals
Academic appeals are handled within the appropriate college or school. Any
grievance of a student relating to an academic matter shall first be discussed
with the appropriate faculty member. Every effort should be made to resolve the
matter at this level. If the grievance cannot be resolved with the faculty member,
the student shall discuss the matter with the appropriate department chair. If
the grievance cannot be resolved with the department chair, the student shall
discuss the matter with the appropriate dean. The decision of the dean in
academic matters is final.
I. Undergraduate/Graduate Non-Academic Student Grievance Policy
If a Campbell University student (undergraduate or graduate) has a grievance of
a nonacademic or non-discipline matter, the student may submit the grievance
in writing to the Vice President for Student Life. The written grievance should
include the following: student name and contact information; the date of the
grievance; the specific matter or issue that is involved; and a description of the
specific grievance. The grievance will be investigated by the Vice President for
Student Life or he may refer it to the appropriate administrators as necessary for
investigation and review. Once the investigation is complete, the Vice President
for Student Life shall review the report of the investigation and render a decision,
which shall be final. There is no appeal beyond this decision by the Vice President
for Student Life.
If the subject matter of the grievance falls under the jurisdiction of Vice President
for Student Life, or if the grievance involves an employee under Student Life, the
grievance shall be submitted to the Executive Vice President who shall follow the
procedures set forth above and renders a decision which shall be final.
32
If the subject of the grievance is a Vice President, the grievance shall be
submitted to the President who shall have the matter investigated and upon
review of the findings render a decision which shall be final.
Students should expect a timely, fair, and comprehensive review of their
complaints to include personal discussions with appropriate administrators, and
the opportunity to supply supportive documentation or the testimony of fellow
students, faculty, or staff regarding their concerns. Subject to any required
confidentiality of personnel records, the student shall be notified of the decision
in writing within a reasonable timeframe but no longer than the semester they
are in or 6 weeks, whichever is longer.
33
III. Campus Safety
A. Bicycles
Bicycles may be registered and permits obtained from the Campus Safety Office
free of charge. Bicycles are to be secured only to bicycle racks located
strategically on campus. Parking and securing of bicycles in any location other
than bicycle racks is prohibited. Bikes parked in an unauthorized area (i.e.
handicap ramps, university signs, posts, attached to railings, left in doorways or
stairwells, etc.) or in any other location that in any manner obscures the free
ingress / egress of any building, as to interfere with the access to facilities as
required by the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, will result in the removal of
the bike by the Department of Campus Safety.
B. Campus Alerts (e2campus)
Campus Alerts are a part of Campbell University's overall safety plan. Alerts are
sent by text messages to registered mobile phones and other electronic devices
and will only be sent in the case of emergency situations occurring on the
campus. The University will also send one test message each semester. All
current students, faculty and staff are requested to register their phone in order
to participate in the Campus Alert program. Registration occurs through your

C. Confidential Crime Reporting (Silent Witness)
Members of the campus community may make formal reports to Campus Safety
of crimes without having their names used. While such reports cannot be used
for criminal prosecution, the information they contain will be used in the
University’s crime prevention program. Furthermore, persons making such
reports will be given every opportunity to avail themselves of victim assistance
programs.
Silent Witness is to be used to report any information you have regarding a
suspicious person, any suspicious activity, or a crime that has occurred on or off
campus. Anonymous tips are always welcome. These campus tips will be

D. Crime Awareness and Campus Security
Campus Safety is composed of both Harnett County Sheriff’s Deputies and
University Security personnel. A Sheriff’s Office Captain serves as the Director
of Campus Safety.
Members of the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office are headquartered in the
Campus Safety Office located at 520 Leslie Campbell Ave. Deputies are assigned
to the university squad for the purpose of providing 24 hour-a-day, seven-day-a-
week law enforcement protection of the university campus and surrounding
community.
Sheriff’s Deputies wear a gray uniform shirt and charcoal colored pants, monitor
Campus Safety, are armed, and have arrest authority. They respond to
University employed dispatchers who continuously staff the Campus Safety
Office and are linked by radio, telephone, and computer to the Harnett County
Emergency Dispatch network which includes police, rescue, ambulance, and

armed and do not have arrest authority. They are equipped with radios and
flashlights and wear gray Security Officer shirts.
Persons wishing to report a criminal action or emergency should contact the
Campus Safety Office directly by phone by dialing Campus Emergency ext. 1911
or 893-1375 or 893-1200; by using one of the emergency-call boxes located
around the campus; or in person at the Campus Safety Office. (See Rape and
Sexual Assault under Institutional Policies) Students also have the option to
report criminal or suspected criminal/illegal activity directly to the Sheriff’s
Office and/or magistrate by calling 893-9111 or appearing in person at 175 Bain
Street, Lillington, N.C. The residence hall staff, members of the Campus Safety
Office, and members of the Student Life Office will gladly assist students in
making such reports.
In the event of emergency, a Sheriff’s Deputy will be immediately sent to the
scene. The Sheriff’s Deputy is authorized to take such action as is appropriate to
the situation including making arrests. Sheriff’s Deputies are also first-responder
qualified and can provide first aid.
The Campus Safety Office has limited investigative capability. Should more
extensive investigative activities be required, assistance will be sought from the
35
Harnett County Sheriff’s Office. An individual’s status as a member of the
University community (student, faculty, or staff) is not considered cause to
depart from sound investigative procedure. Neither is disciplinary action by the
University considered a substitute for legal proceedings but rather a supplement
to them that is deemed necessary as an extension of the Universitys educational
mission and to protect the University community.
Although private property, the campus is open to visitors provided they do not
interfere with the operation of the school; activities of students, faculty, and
staff; and observe University rules and regulations. (See Security Curfew and
Security Practices under Residence Hall Policies) Campus Safety personnel are
responsible for locking and unlocking all non-residential buildings on campus and
frequently checking the security of doors, locks, and entrances.
E. Crime Statistics Reporting
The Campus Safety Office is responsible for compiling and reporting crime
statistics. By virtue of its location, Campbell’s campus is rather safe and
secure. Nevertheless, the possibility of an unfortunate incident occurring always
exists. Students and visitors are urged to exercise due care of their person and
property.
Information about security and criminal activity on the campus and in the
surrounding area is disseminated in a variety of ways, depending on its
significance and the urgency of the situation. The Campus Safety Office
maintains a log of reportable crimes which is available upon request at the
Campus Safety Office. Should more timely dissemination of information be
required, the Crime Warning System described in this section will be employed.
Statistics are provided in accordance with the Student Right-To-Know and
Campus Security Act. The figures reported represent only those events which
occurred on the main campus in Buies Creek.
F. Criminal Offenses
Campbell University provides statistics in accordance with the Student Right-to-
Know and Campus Security Act. The most current statistics can be found at the
following web-address:

officer, they must comply or be subject to immediate suspension.
I. Emergency Contact Information
Students are expected to maintain their emergency contact information so the
university knows the proper person(s) to be contacted in case that student has
an emergency. This is done through the Self Service section of the University’s
Website (https://ss.campbell.edu/Student).
J. Regulation of Animals/Service Providers on Campus
The university has adopted this policy for the safety and well-being of our
campus community with dogs on the university property and that those who

d. Owners who do not leash their dogs on university property will
be escorted off the property by Campus Safety Officer.
2. Owners must remove their dog’s waste from all university property.
38
3. Any animal (other than fish) students desire to bring with them to
live in the residences halls must be approved as a service animal or
emotional support animal by the office of Disability Services.
4. Residence Life shall be notified of any Service Animal belonging to
enrolled student that will be living on campus.
5. Service Animals are welcome anywhere on/in any campus facility
that is open to their handler, and must remain under the control of
their handler at all times. Any animal, including Service Animals,
may be removed from university property by Campus Safety
Officers when that animal’s behavior poses a direct threat to the
health and safety of others.
6. Any exception to this policy must be directed to the Office of
Campus Safety for approval. Security Awareness & Crime
Prevention Programs.
The Department of Campus Safety provides the following Security Awareness
and Crime Prevention Programs for all students and employees of Campbell
University:
K. Transport Program
Uniformed Safety Officers are available to transport students with injuries,
disabilities/handicaps, or those with safety concerns during hours of darkness
between buildings and to/from vehicles as needed. Contact Campus Safety to
arrange this service (910-893-1375).
L. Emergency Phones
Both interior and exterior phones are linked directly to the Department of
Campus Safety and are located throughout the campus.
M. Electronic Alarm System
The electronic monitoring system is located at the Department of Campus Safety
Building and monitors intrusion detection and the duress-alarm system.

The engraving or marking of serial numbers or owner’s recognized numbers on
items of value and recording those items with the Department of Campus
Safety’s Crime Prevention Officer.
O. Printed Crime-Prevention Materials

halls and other public access areas.
39
P. Facility Surveys
Comprehensive surveys of exterior lighting, exterior doors, and grounds are
conducted by the Crime Prevention Officer each year.
Q. Crime Prevention Presentations
Annual presentations on issues of self-defense, drug awareness, rape/sexual
assault awareness, theft and the protection of property in cooperation with the
residence hall staff.
R. Tornado Information
Tornadoes are a common weather phenomenon in the southeastern United
States. Tornadoes are formed by severe thunderstorms, most frequently in the
spring and summer, and are nature’s most violent and erratic storms. A tornado
can travel for miles along the ground, lift, suddenly change directions, and strike
again. There is little that can be done to protect buildings from the strength of
tornado winds, but there are actions that can be taken to protect oneself. The
first of these is to know the significance of warnings.
1. Tornado Watch
A tornado watch is given when weather conditions are favorable for the
formation of tornadoes; for example, during severe thunderstorms. During a
tornado watch, keep an eye on the weather and be prepared to take shelter
immediately if conditions worsen.
2. Tornado Warning
A tornado warning is given when a tornado is sighted or indicated by radar. One
should take shelter immediately. Because tornadoes can form and move quickly
there may not be time for warnings. It is important to stay alert during severe
storms. Although there is no guaranteed safe place during a tornado, some
locations are better than others. By following the following suggested safety
tips, one can increase the chances of survival:
a. On the Road: The least desirable place to be during a tornado is in a motor
vehicle. Cars, buses, and trucks are tossed easily by tornado winds.
b. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car: If you see a tornado, stop your
vehicle and get out. Seek shelter away from the car in a nearby ditch or
ravine; do not get under your vehicle. Lie flat and put your arms over your
head.
40
c. Dorm, Classroom, or Office Buildings: One basic rule to follow wherever
you are is to avoid windows. An exploding window can injure or kill. Do not
take the time to open windows; get to shelter immediately.
d. The safest places in dorms, classrooms, or office buildings are the interior
halls on the lowest floors. Excluding basements, the safest place in a house
is an inside room on the lowest floor, such as a closet, hallway, or bathroom
with no windows. If possible, crouch down and cover your body and head
with a blanket or sleeping bag. If nothing else is available, cover your head
with your hands.
e. Mobile Homes: Leave mobile homes and go to a substantial structure. If
there is no structure nearby, lie flat in the nearest ditch, ravine, or culvert
with your hands shielding your head.
f. Long-Span Building: If you are caught in an open building like a shopping
mall, civic center, indoor pool, theater, or gymnasium during a tornado, stay
away from windows. Get into the restroom, if possible. In larger buildings,
the restrooms are usually made from concrete blocks. Besides having the
four walls and plumbing to hold the structure together, the metal partitions
help support any falling debris.
g. In the Open: If you are caught outside during a tornado and there is no
underground shelter immediately available, lie in a gully, ditch or low spot
in the ground. Protect your body and head with anything available. Do not
go into a grove of trees or under a vehicle.
h. After the Storm: Emergency services personnel are usually on the scene
quickly after a tornado. Wait for help to arrive. If you are outside, avoid
power lines and do not go into damaged buildings; they may collapse
completely. Wait for help to search for others.
S. Hurricane Precautions
North Carolina is one of the many states along the Eastern seaboard of the
United States that is threatened annually by hurricanes. Fortunately, the school
is well inland and has only been seriously affected by a few hurricanes in recent
history: Fran in 1996, Floyd in 1999, Matthew in 2016, Florence in 2018.
Campus and community residents can expect several days of early warning of
hurricanes that could affect Buies Creek and the surrounding area. During that
time, emergency plans will be reviewed and detailed instructions issued to the
university community. Should a hurricane actually strike the campus, the same
procedures outlined for tornadoes are to be followed.
41
T. Weapons and Explosives
The use, possession, carrying, or discharging of any weapon as defined and
prohibited by North Carolina Law (NCGS §14-269.2;
www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/Statutes/StatutesTOC.pl) on the campus of
Campbell University, any of its extended campuses or to a curricular or
extracurricular activity sponsored by the University is prohibited.
42
IV. Parking Regulations
A. Vehicle Operations and Parking Jurisdiction
The Campus Safety Office is responsible for enforcing traffic and parking
regulations on the University campus as well as providing for the security of the
campus. While reasonable efforts are made to ensure the security of parking
lots, the University cannot assume responsibility for personally owned motor
vehicles and will not reimburse students and/or parents for damage and/or
property loss.
B. Enforcement
Parking Rules and Regulations will be enforced 365 days a year. All violations
may be dealt with through the issuance of a University Parking Ticket; however,
local Law Enforcement agents may issue handicap violations according to North
Carolina Law. If you receive a state or county citation, you must pay the fine at
the Magistrates Office in Lillington, NC.
Due to events on the campus, the university reserves the right to close a parking
lot(s) and require vehicles to be moved to another lot.
C. Appeals
Appeals must be submitted to Parking Services within five (5) days of the receipt
of a citation. The on-line appeal, located on the Campus Safety web page, should
include a detailed description of why the citation should be considered improper
or invalid. Appeals submitted beyond five (5) days of the time and date of the
citation may not be accepted.
The Appeals Officer will review the appeal and may:
Grant the appeal and forgive the citation
Reduce the fine
Deny the appeal
If the appeal is denied by the Appeals Officer, the appellant may appeal to the
University Traffic Committee. The committee is composed of three (3)
faculty/staff representatives, two (2) students (SGA members appointed by the
Vice President for Student Life), the Director of Facilities Management, and the
Director of Parking Services. The committee shall meet once a semester or as
needed. The decision of the committee is final.
The Committee may:
Reverse the decision of the Appeals Officer, and forgive the citation
43
Reduce the fine
Deny the appeal

community based on race, national origin, religion, citizenship, age, gender,
sexual orientation, disability, or past or present service in the military.
Bias incidents can take on a variety of forms, including but not limited to
discrimination, spoken or written hate speech or harassment, offensive visual
representations, threats, vandalism, physical confrontation, and similar conduct
or communications on or through social media.
The bias report form is not a substitute for a call to first responders. If you
witness or experience any actual threatened emergencies such as violence,
injured persons, a fire, or suspected crime you should call 911 (1-911 if calling
from a University phone) and/or contact Campus Safety at 910-893-1375.
2.
Who Can Report?
We encourage all members of our community to report any incident of bias
whether you are a complainant, bystander/witness, or a concerned member of
the Campbell community.
3
.
What Happens After I Report?
After a report is filed, the Director of Human Resources, the Assistant Provost for
Administration, and the Dean of Campus Life will review it. From there, it will be
assigned to an appointed and trained University official for investigation.
The University investigator will be someone who is regularly trained on bias
incidents, discrimination, trauma-informed victim interviewing, how to conduct
an investigation and hearing process that protects the safety of the individual
making the report and promotes accountability.
The University investigator will then take the following steps:
a. Commence a thorough, reliable and impartial investigation;
54
b. Complete the investigation promptly;
c. Gather evidence if existing, including witness statements;
d. Write an investigation report, which includes the original report,
evidence, witness statements, and any other relevant information;
e. The investigation report is finalized and shared with the Director of
Human Resources, the Assistant Provost for Administration, and the
Dean of Campus Life;
f. The Director of Human Resources, the Assistant Provost for
Administration, and the Dean of Campus Life will convene to review the
investigation report, to deliberate and render a decision and resolution;
g. The Director of Human Resources, the Assistant Provost for
Administration, and the Dean of Campus Life will then share the
decision and resolution with the appropriate parties.
If the reporting party is not satisfied with either the decision and or resolution
made by the Director of Human Resources, the Assistant Provost for
Administration, and the Dean of Campus Life, the reporting party may appeal to
the Executive Appeals Committee (EAC). This appeal must be made in writing to
the Vice President of Student Life within ten (10) school days of the receipt of
the original decision. The decision of EAC is final.
These procedures are entirely administrative in nature and are not considered
legal proceedings.
During the meeting with the university investigator or any subsequent
proceedings, the parties may have an advisor or advocate accompany and assist
him/her at their expense. This advisor can be anyone.
The use of electronic devices will not be allowed during the meeting with the
university investigator. Except to reveal evidence to the university investigator
that is on the electronic device.
Student, faculty or staff behaviors that may violate Title IX will be addressed
through the college’s Title IX procedures. Faculty or staff behaviors that may
violate academic or non-academic employment policies will be addressed in
accordance with procedures in the appropriate employment handbook (Faculty
Handbook, Personnel Manual or other policy handbooks). Student behaviors
that may violate the Student Code of Conduct will be addressed through the
procedures outlined in the Community Standards section of this handbook.
55
If you provide contact information on the Bias Incident Report Form, the
university official assigned to investigate the incident will initiate contact with
you.
D.
Who Can I Go To For Support?
In addition to the college officials who will review and address the reported
incident, you may also speak to anyone in Campbell University Counseling
Services or the Office of Spiritual Life. Both spaces are confidential and private.

E.
Free Expression and Academic Freedom
Campbell University is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory
learning, living, and working environment for all members of the University
community. Freedom of expression and thought are as essential for a thriving
academic community. As a community we must be willing to listen generously,
speak honestly, and be willing to learn.
Students need to learn to be comfortable with the discomfort of new ideas
including ideas they may find offensive. Honestly held and reasonable
differences of opinion are protected at Campbell University, in and out of the
classroom. Discussion of an academic subject, even when the ideas are
controversial, is protected. Disagreements and criticism, even when strongly
asserted, are not bias incidents if they are aimed at ideas and actions, rather than
at a person’s characteristics. Nothing in the bias reporting process is intended to
stifle academic freedom or the appropriate expression of (even controversial)
ideas.
Any student or employee of Campbell University who is not a member of the
faculty who has an inquiry or grievance related to academic freedom should
56
report that inquiry to the Provost, who shall investigate promptly the situation
and act to resolve the grievance. If a member of the faculty has an inquiry or
grievance related to the academic freedom policy, he/she should consult the
Faculty Handbook for the appropriate procedures to address the situation.
F. Complaints
The Vice President for Student Life serves as an ombudsman for students and
parents seeking to resolve complaints. In many cases, especially when student
services are involved, the Student Life Office will deal directly with the issue. In
other cases, when the complaint is beyond the purview of the Vice President for
Student Life, students and/or parents will be assisted in determining the
appropriate channel in which to obtain a timely response.
A student may file a complaint by obtaining the Student Complaint Form at the
office of the Vice President for Student Life or online at:
https://cuweb.wufoo.com/forms/campbell-university-student-complaint-
form/.
If a student’s complaint is with the University as an entity, below is a link to the

G. Campbell University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT)
In recent years, violent acts on college campuses have escalated to a concerning
level. While there have been no such acts on our campus, the University is
serious about campus safety and seeks to quickly address student behavior that
may indicate distress in that student or cause concern in the community. The
Campbell University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT) provides one avenue
for response. When the troubling behavior of one or more students is reported
by the campus community to the office of Vice President for Student Life, a
57
CUBIT meeting may be called to review this behavior.
1) Who We Are
The Campbell University Behavioral Intervention Team (CUBIT)
provides a coordinated process for identifying and responding to
students who may be at risk of harming themselves or others, or who
may reasonably pose a threat to the safety and well-being of the
campus community. Achieving this goal involves:
Utilizing a multidisciplinary team to review, identify and develop
specific intervention/prevention strategies.
Analyzing information, discerning patterns, and following up as
appropriate.
Providing education and training to faculty, staff and students on
how to identify and address concerning behaviors that may need
further assessment or response.
2) What We Do
Team members who have interacted with the student, present
information to the group (as permitted by state and federal law) and
other members of the campus community may also be called upon to
share information.
The team may choose one of the following options:
Make a recommendation on the student’s continued
enrollment or dismissal;
Continue to gather information and meet again; or
Monitor the situation for new developments.
CUBIT will follow the policies outlined in the Student Handbook as a
guide for recommendations but is encouraged to also think creatively
to find the best solution to what are often complex problems.
All discussions and deliberations of the CUBIT, and appeals of CUBIT to
the Executive Student Conduct Committee will be in compliance with
the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
3) Appeal Process:
A decision reached by CUBIT and/or sanctions imposed by CUBIT may
be appealed by the student within three (3) school days of the decision.
All appeals must be made in writing and delivered to the Vice President
for Student Life’s Office. If the request is timely filed, the Executive
Student Conduct Committee for review. The Executive Appeals
58
Committee is chaired by the Vice President for Student Life and consist
of members of the Executive Administration. Decisions reached by the
Executive appeals Committee are final. The student and/or the
student’s parents may present information (e.g., information from an
appropriate health-care provider concerning the student’s physical,
mental or emotional condition). Parental participation in the appeals
process is only allowed when the student requests it in accordance with
FERPA.
H. Alcohol Misuse
All main campus students are expected to follow local, state, and federal laws
regarding the possession, consumption and distribution of alcohol. The
possession, consumption and distribution of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on
the University campus. The misuse of alcohol is defined by the University as any
use that adversely impacts the students health or could lead to inappropriate,
disorderly, disruptive, disrespectful or unsafe behavior. This type of behavior
subjects a student to be in violation of the Behavioral Offenses as outlined in the
Undergraduate Student Handbook.
Consumption of Alcohol in North Carolina by anyone under the age of 21 is a
Class 1 Misdemeanor. North Carolina General Statue 18B-302, states to aid,
abet, sell or give alcoholic beverages to anyone under the age of 21, or to
attempt to purchase alcohol under the age of 21 is a Class 1 Misdemeanor.
I. Drug-Abuse Prevention
Campbell University policy on illegal drugs use is expressed in the Code of Honor
and the Student Code of Conduct. These documents prohibit the possession, use
of, or distribution of illegal drugs by students regardless of age, both on and off
campus. The University will use all legally acceptable means to prevent the
possession, use, or distribution of illegal drugs on campus, including but not
limited to; random drug testing of varsity athletes and the employment of under-
cover agents.
J. Drones: UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (UAS)
The operation of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), radio/remote controlled
model aircraft or drone, is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). As a private institution, Campbell University establishes the following
policy to govern the operation by any person of a UAS from or above the
University's main campus.
This policy is established to require and ensure compliance with ALL applicable
59
laws, reduce safety risks, and preserve the security and privacy of members of
the Campbell University community.
This policy primarily responds to FAA guidelines and requirements that promote
the safe and responsible use of unmanned aircraft.
All faculty, employees, students, contractors, volunteers, and the general public
present on Campbell University property are governed by this policy.
The use of drones for hobby or recreational use on Campbell University property
is not permitted.
Any use of a UAS from or over the campus or inside a campus building is strictly
prohibited except under the following circumstances.
The use of drones is permitted only for educational or research purposes.
The owner/operator must obtain prior approval from the Campus Safety
and file a "flight plan" including date, time, and duration of flight and
operational area, at least 48 hours prior to the use of the UAS.
A University owned or commercial UAS must comply with local, state, and
federal (FAA) regulations by obtaining and producing a "333 Exemption" or
a "Special Airworthiness Certificate" prior to use on the campus. (See
www.faa.gov)
A private or commercially owned UAS operator must provide a certificate of
insurance with a minimum of $5 million in general liability insurance written
on an occurrence basis.
The owner/operator must have experience in operating the UAS and
operate them in a responsible manner.
The owner/operator must not operate over areas of public assembly,
stadium, or areas of construction.
The owner/operator must not photograph, video, or monitor areas where
other members of the University community or members of the general
public would have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Any violations of law (trespassing, illegal surveillance, reckless endangerment) or
violations of University policies may subject the individual(s) to both criminal
and/or disciplinary action. Students who violate this policy will be subject to
sanctions as outlined in the Student Handbook. Damages/injuries occurring to
University property or individuals will be the responsibility of the UAS operator.
1) FAA Regulations
The FAA classifies UAS use as one of three types:
Public - Governmental
60
Civil Operations - Non-Governmental
Model Aircraft - Hobby or recreation only
Effective December 21, 2015, the FAA began a registration process for
all UAS devices weighing between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds that are
used for hobby or recreational purposes. The owner must be 13 years
of age or older and a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
Additional information and the on-line registration may be obtained at
http://www.faa.gov/uas/registration/.
2) Failure to register
Civil and criminal penalties may apply for failure to register a UAS.
Those penalties are on a sliding scale based on the circumstances of the
situation and may include a formal warning to monetary fines and/or
prosecution.
Using a UAS to take photos/videos for personal use is recreational.
Using the same device to take photos/videos for compensation or sale
is commercial use; commercial use requires an FAA Sec. 333 Exemption
or a Special Airworthiness Certificate. A Certification of Waiver or
Certificate of Authorization means an FAA grant of approval for a
specific unmanned operation. (See www.faa.gov)
3) Responsibilities
The Vice President for Student Life and the Director of Campus Safety
maintain the authority to "ground" or suspend operations of any UAS
that is not compliant with FAA regulations, this policy, or presents a
danger to University property or to the University community.
K. Hover boards
All Hover Boards are banned from use in all university buildings. This ban is for
the indoor operation of “Hover boards” and the charging/re-charging of them
and applies to all students, staff, faculty and visitors.
L. Inclement Weather
The main campus of Campbell University is a residential community. Classrooms
are located within walking distance of residential facilities. Classes may be
conducted in spite of snow and ice. A sufficient number of class absences are
permitted under University policy to cover when commuting students may miss
class due to driving conditions. If classes are canceled notification may be sent
by email, obtained from the University’s web page, by calling 910-814-5700 or
61
800-760-8980, or by a text message from the University’s Mass Notification
System (students may sign up to receive these text message alerts through the
university’s web page).
M. Involuntary Removal from Campus Housing
Any residential student who engages or threatens to engage in behavior that
may present a threat to him/her or others may be involuntarily removed from
campus housing by the Vice President for Student Life or the Dean of Campus
Life. Said student may be permitted to continue attending class, but is no longer
allowed to live in or visit campus housing including residence hall rooms, suites
and apartments.
If a student and/or the student’s parents object to involuntary removal from
campus housing, they may appeal that decision to the Executive Student
Conduct Committee. The Vice President of Student Life will arrange an
administrative hearing before the Committee when the student and/or the
student’s parents may present information if they wish to do so (e.g.,
information from an appropriate health-care provider concerning the student’s
physical, mental or emotional condition). Parental participation in the appeals
process is only allowed when the student requests it in accordance with FERPA.
N. Involuntary Withdrawal
A student will be subject to involuntary withdrawal from the University if it is
determined that the student is:
1. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which poses a danger of
causing physical harm to him/herself or others.
2. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior which would cause
significant property damage or impede the lawful activities of others.
3. Engaging or threatening to engage in behavior that would damage the
reputation of the University or when the reputation of its members is
at stake.
In dealing with instances of this nature, the first option will be for the Vice
President for Student Life to offer the student the opportunity to withdraw from
the University voluntarily. The withdrawal will be handled in the same manner
as any other withdrawal except for medical reasons.
If the student (and/or the student’s parents) objects to the withdrawal, the Vice
President for Student Life will arrange an administrative hearing before the
Executive Student Conduct Committee. A decision will be reached concerning
62
enrollment at the University based on the student’s past and present
behavior. If the student and/or the student’s parents wish to introduce
information from an appropriate health-care provider concerning the student’s
physical, mental or emotional condition, they may do so.
If it should be determined by the Committee that the student is not fit to
continue to be enrolled, an involuntary withdrawal will be executed on behalf of
the student, and the student will be required to leave the campus no later than
5:00 p.m. the following day.
O. Release of Information
It is the policy of Campbell University to release certain directory information of
its students. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA/PL 93-380), the University will continue this policy of releasing the
directory information, such information being defined by the act as some or all
of the following categories: the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date
and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially
recognized activities and sports, yearbook pictures, weight and height of
members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, degrees, awards received and
most recent or previous educational institution attended, electronic mail
address, student’s photograph, grade level, student’s ID number, and enrollment
status (undergraduate or graduate; full-time or part-time).
Student’s transcripts and permanent records are defined by FERPA as education
records” and they are secured in the Registrar’s Office in the J.A. Campbell
Administrative Building. The student’s record contains his/her transcript from
Campbell University, transcripts and transcript evaluations from other
educational agencies attended by the student, secondary school transcripts,
Scholastic Aptitude and other standardized test scores, the student’s application
for admission, general correspondence with the student, and if applicable letters
concerning misconduct. The transcript and contents of the permanent record
may be examined by the student upon appointment with the Registrar.
University officials having access to the student’s transcript are: the President,
Provost, Academic Deans, Registrar, Director of Admissions, Director of Financial
Aid, Director of Career Services, Faculty Advisors, Vice President for Student Life,
and designees of these University officials.
Campbell University guarantees each student certain rights in compliance with
FERPA.
63
These rights include:
1.
“Inspect and review their education records.”
2.
“Challenge in a hearing the content of their education records, to
ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their
privacy rights.”
3.
“Be granted an opportunity to correct or delete any inaccurate,
misleading or inappropriate information contained in their
education records.”
4.
“Nondisclosure without prior consent of their education records, or
of any information in those records that could reasonably reveal the
eligible student’s identity. FERPA does allow nonconsensual
disclosures of education records under specific limited circumstances.
5.
“Request nondisclosure of directory information without prior
consent.” (Source: The FERPA Answer Book for Higher Education,
2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)
Campbell University will receive and consider any eligible student’s request to
exercise these rights. Eligible students requesting hearings concerning
amendments must make these requests in writing.
Exceptions to FERPA regulations include but are not limited to the following:
The health and safety emergency exception states that the institution
may disclose personally identifiable information from an education
record to appropriate parties including parents in connection with an
emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the
health and safety of the student or other individuals.
If a student is identified as a dependent of his/her parents, the
University may share information from education records without
written consent from the student. The disclosure of the education
records under this exception is “permitted” but not “required.”
It is recommended that students sign a written consent form which gives specific
instructions of what can be disclosed of an education record, to whom it can be
disclosed and the time limit of disclosure.
P. Respect for Authority
A student must at all times identify himself/herself if asked to do so by an official
of the University, which includes residence hall staff. A student must also comply
64
with instructions given by a faculty member or an official of the University when
such instructions are in keeping with the University policy. The University
expects a courteous and respectful attitude toward residence hall staff, faculty
and administrators. Failure to display such an attitude or to identify one’s self
will result in disciplinary action. Students must be in possession of their student
ID Cards at all times and must produce them upon request.
Q. Participation of Students in Institutional Decision-Making
The Student Government Association functions as a forum through which
students may express their opinions and concerns on university matters which
affect them. Such expressions are reviewed by the Student Life Committee when
passed in the form of resolutions by the Student Congress.
The Student Life Committee may approve or disapprove the resolutions or return
them to Student Congress for further consideration. Approved resolutions,
together with the recommendations of the Committee, are forwarded to the
appropriate offices. These offices may choose to act or not to act upon the
Committee’s recommendations.
The Student Government Association also influences the University’s decision-
making process through the participation of its members on a large number of
Committees.
R. Smoking
This policy addresses all tobacco products including, but not limited to cigarettes,
pipes, cigars, e-cigarettes, personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery
systems, and smokeless tobacco.
Smoking and the use of all tobacco products is prohibited in all University
owned buildings, vehicles and carts.
Smoking and the use of all tobacco products is not allowed within fifty feet
(50’) of any building including steps, stairways, doors, windows or air intake
systems.
The Health Science Campus on highway 421 is a tobacco-free campus.
Appropriate sanctions will be administered to persons violating this policy.
S. Solicitation
Campbell University does not permit sales or solicitation anywhere on campus.
Telephone numbers and addresses of students will not be given to solicitors or
sales persons.
65
T. Withdrawal from the University
To withdraw officially from the University during a semester, a student should
discuss options with their academic advisor before obtaining a Withdrawal Form
from the Student Life Office (located on the 2nd floor of the Wallace Building or
by calling 910-893-1540) or on-line at:
https://www.campbell.edu/policies/withdrawal-policies/. This form, once
completed, will be distributed to the following offices: Registrar, Financial Aid,
Business, Accounting, Veteran’s Affairs, International Admissions, and Residence
Life, so that a students record may be closed out in all these areas. Failure to
withdraw properly even within the grace period could result in a semester’s
worth of “F” grades which is detrimental to one’s grade point average (GPA).
Medical withdrawals may be granted only for those instances where an
incapacitating injury or illness prevents the student from completing the term.
A “Request for Medical Withdrawal” form must be completed by a licensed
medical provider who administered care at the time of the illness or injury, along
with the “Withdrawal Form”. All medical withdrawals must be approved by the
Vice President for Student Life. (There will not be an application fee for those
that withdrawal for medical reasons when reapplying to the university for the
next semester.)
Students not returning following the completion of a semester should send a
letter stating this addressed to the Vice President for Student Life. The following
should be included in the letter: student’s full name, Identification number,
statement regarding not returning and reason for not returning.
The Student ID is to be turned into the Office of Student Life or to Residence
Hall Staff upon withdrawal.
66
VII. Community Standards
When a student is admitted to Campbell University, the student becomes
responsible for knowing and abiding by all rules and regulations of the University
as published in the University Bulletin and the Student Handbook.
Campbell University believes in individual freedom, both as a right and as a
responsibility. Attendance at Campbell University is a privilege, not a right. The
University traditions and principles as stated in the Campbell University Mission
Statement and Code of Honor, accepted by each student through his or her act
of voluntary registration, evolve from the core of this concept of freedom and
responsibility. Therefore, it is presumed the student who enrolls at Campbell
University does so with the intent of being, in fact and in spirit, a cooperative
member of this community. Specifically, students are expected to adhere to the
Campbell University Student Code of Honor, Student Code of Conduct and all
Residential Regulations. The Office of Community Standards will oversee the
daily operations and implementation of the Student Code of Conduct. The Office
of Community Standards strives to educate students to become better citizens
by guiding them towards ethical decision-making and furthering educational
excellence.
The University encourages students to conduct themselves as maturing men and
women and invites them to participate in the formulation of rules and assume
responsibility for student decisions through the Student Government
Association (SGA). At the same time, all participants in Campbell University life
must remember that, by the charter of the University, the Board of Trustees is
ultimately responsible for the school and for its operation. The Vice President for
Student Life, in conjunction with the Dean of Campus Life, is responsible for the
administration of the University’s disciplinary system. This responsibility is
exercised on behalf of the President of the University and involves various
conduct committees and university personnel.
Within the academic community, certain regulations are necessary for the
orderly operation of the University and for the well-being of its members.
Furthermore, Campbell University, in keeping with its concern for students
individually and corporately, has a legitimate interest in their welfare in and out
of class, on and off-campus. The University is especially concerned with those
students actions that are inconsistent with their obligations as members of this
educational community. When, in the opinion of the University, the conduct of
67
a student at any place is reprehensible or detrimental to the best interest of that
student, fellow students, or the University, appropriate disciplinary action will
be taken. This action may be taken by the Vice President for Student Life or
referred by him to the appropriate board, committee, or person.
Campbell University is concerned with the conduct of students beyond the
geographical bounds of the campus. For many reasons, however, including the
obvious impossibility of controlling all off-campus behavior of students, it does
not assume supervisory responsibility for their off-campus activities. Nor does
the University seek or support the special treatment of those students who may
be apprehended for violations of law. It does regulate off-campus events of
University-approved student organizations and insists that, at these events and
elsewhere, reason and responsibility characterize student conduct. The
University does not assume supervisory responsibility for off-campus activities
with the exception of University sponsored events. However, if the University is
informed of any occurrence of a student conduct violation having occurred off
campus, including but not limited to the attendance of large gatherings, indoors
or outdoors, as doing so may result in endangering the health and safety of the
Campbell community, the University may choose to address the incident and
hold a conduct hearing if deemed necessary.
Campbell University students are expected to abide by local, state and federal
laws, as well as the generally accepted moral standards of our society. Campbell
University prohibits student’s involvement or attendance to large gatherings,
indoors or outdoors, that may result in endangering the health and safety of the
Campbell community. Although the University’s role is not to duplicate civil law
enforcement or judicial action, it may exercise authority for reasons indigenous
to its functioning as an educational institution.
The Office of Community Standards utilizes the student email system
(@email.campbell.edu) as its primary source for communicating relevant and
important information to its students. All students are responsible to know and
abide by the information sent to this email address from the Office of
Community Standards. This information may include informal hearing notices,
decision memorandums and other notifications.
I. University Disciplinary System
The Office of Community Standards is responsible for:
1. Conducting informal hearings for allegations of misconduct;
68
2. Determining appropriate actions, including sanctions; and
3. Arranging formal hearings, if required, for violations of the Code
of Honor and/ or Student Code of Conduct and Residential
Regulations.
A.
Informal Hearing
When the Office of Community Standards has been notified of a student
allegedly violating the University Code of Honor, Student Code of Conduct, or
Residential Regulations, the student will be required to appear before the
Community Standards Coordinator or other authorized Student Life staff
member for an informal hearing. Under normal circumstances, this hearing
should take place within 3 business days of the notification. Students will be
notified of the informal hearing by way of their student email. During this
hearing, the student will be advised of his/her violation, the appropriate
sanctions associated with that violation, and the disciplinary process including
appearing before a conduct hearing body for a formal hearing. The Coordinator
or other authorized Student Life Staff member will determine the appropriate
actions and has the authority to assign sanctions for the first violation of the
following Student Codes of Conduct: 1.a, 3, 4, 5.a,b,d,e,f and all Residential
Regulations, if the student admits he/she has violated these standards and
accepts the assigned sanction(s). When the student accepts responsibility and
the assigned sanction(s), this decision is final and there is no provision for an
appeal. Should the student wish to contest the alleged violation and/or the
sanctions to be assigned, the student will be required to appear before the
appropriate conduct hearing body for a formal hearing.
All other violations of the Student Code of Conduct and second violations of any
Code(s) of Conduct and/or Residential Regulation(s) will require the student to
appear before the appropriate conduct hearing body for a formal hearing. The
Community Standards Coordinator or other authorized Student Life staff
members reserve the right to request any and all students who have allegedly
violated these conduct standards to appear before a conduct hearing body for a
formal hearing.
Allegations of misconduct involving graduate students are referred to the
appropriate graduate/professional school for resolution. Allegations of
misconduct involving students enrolled in off-campus programs are referred to
the director of that particular program for resolution.
69
B.
Formal Hearings
Students charged with violations of the Honor Code, Student Code of Conduct,
and Residential Regulations are entitled to a formal hearing. Students requesting
a formal hearing will receive a mandate which is an official notification of the
alleged violation. It contains the name of the student, the nature of the alleged
violation, the approximate time, date, and place of the formal hearing. Normally
students will be given at least three days advance notice of the formal hearing.
A copy of the mandate is given to the student, and the original is maintained in
the Office of Community Standards.
Formal hearings may be conducted by the Residence Life Conduct Committee,
the Student Conduct Committee, or the Executive Student Conduct Committee.
(The University Executive Cabinet may choose to act as a formal hearing board if
deemed necessary.) During a formal hearing a student may speak to the
Committee on their own behalf. After hearing all information and examining all
evidence, the Committee will deliberate in private and come to a decision. After
a decision has been reached, the committee chair will announce the decision and
explain procedures for appeal. The Office of Community Standards will provide
a written confirmation of the committee’s decision to the student’s Campbell
University e-mail address.
The student may bring another person or persons who have direct knowledge of
the situation, or he/she may have another student speak for him/her. Parents
and faculty members are allowed to attend a formal hearing, however they are
not allowed to participate. Non-students are not permitted to participate in the
formal hearings unless they were directly involved in the incident or have direct
knowledge of the situation. Students are not allowed to have the service of an
attorney present at a University hearing.
There will be a record of all formal Conduct Committee hearings. Deliberation
will not be recorded except by the University and the record is the property of
the university.
Should a student not be able to attend a formal hearing because of a serious
illness, injury or death in the family, he/she should notify the Office of
Community Standards immediately. The formal hearing may be postponed to
another date. Should the student, after proper notification and without
reasonable explanation, fail to appear at his/her formal hearing, the Committee
70
will treat the alleged violation without prejudice as if the student was in
attendance.
A University Hearing is separate from a criminal or civil court hearing. The
procedures may be similar in some respects, yet the University has a different
purpose, standard and sanctions. This hearing may be conducted prior to,
simultaneously with, or after a criminal or civil hearing. The outcome of a
criminal or civil hearing does not have bearing upon the procedure or sanction
assigned by the University.
C.
Appeals
A decision reached by one of the University’s conduct committees and/or
sanctions imposed by such committee may be appealed by the student within
three (3) school days of the decision. All appeals must be made in writing and
delivered to the Office of Community Standards. Students may not present
verbal arguments or appeals to the committee.
An appeal will be limited to a review of the record of the Conduct Committee
who originally held the formal hearing and made a decision. The appeal is to
determine:
1. The formal hearing was conducted fairly.
2. The decision was based on facts sufficient to establishing that a violation
of the Student Code of Conduct had occurred.
3. The sanction imposed was appropriate for the violation that occurred.
4. To consider new information sufficient to alter the decision if this
information was not available at the formal hearing.
If the appeal is upheld, the matter is returned to the original committee to re-
open the formal hearing and allow reconsideration of the original decision
and/or sanction. If the appeal is not upheld, the decision is final and binding upon
the student.
D.
Interim Actions
Any student that may present himself/herself as a threat to the health, safety,
welfare and educational processes of Campbell University faculty, staff, and/or
students may be temporarily suspended by the Dean of Campus Life in
conjunction with the Vice President of Student Life, pending a formal hearing.
This temporary suspension may include, but is not limited to, all University
owned property, including University Housing, University sponsored events,
classes and intercollegiate athletic participation. Furthermore, a temporary no
71
contact order may be issued to limit the contact between students and/or other
campus community members until a formal hearing can be held.

chair, and 2 Student Life Directors appointed by the Vice President for Student
Life. This committee may assign students disciplinary sanctions ranging from
Written Reprimand to Probation. Decisions made by this committee may be
appealed to the Executive Student Conduct Committee. The decision made by
the Executive Student Conduct Committee in reference to the appeal of an
Interim Committee decision will be final.
F.
Records
Records of disciplinary action are maintained in the Dean for Campus Life’s
office. Copies of correspondence announcing disciplinary suspension and
expulsion are forwarded to the Registrar’s Office for inclusion in the student’s
permanent record, as well as the Vice President for Student Life’s Office so that
an administrative withdrawal can be processed. Students have the right to
review their student conduct records prior to and after sanctions have been
assigned. Electronic devices may not be used during review of records, and no
copies or original documents may leave the Office of Community Standards.

student’s local address currently on record in the University computer system.
The University may notify parents of dependent undergraduate students of
alleged infractions of the University’s Code of Honor, Student Code of Conduct
and/or Residential Regulations. A copy of the notification sent to the student
may be sent to the parents’ home address. Students who are no longer
financially dependent upon their parents may be exempt from this policy upon
their request, if the University’s financial aid records reflect their independent
status. Parents of undergraduate students under 21 years of age will be
notified of disciplinary action taken for alcohol violations. All parents will be
notified of student drug violations regardless of the student’s age. This
Parental Notification may be sent prior to, during, or after the conduct hearing

H.
Violations of Law
Where the offense is a violation of civil or criminal federal, state, or local laws,
the responsibility for handling the offense and the offenders will be transferred
to the proper authorities. When such an offense is alleged, the student will
appear before the Executive Student Conduct Committee for a hearing. This
hearing may be conducted prior to, simultaneously with, or after a criminal or
civil hearing. In cases resulting in conviction or finding of liability by the court,
the Executive Student Conduct Committee will determine the action to be taken
in regard to the status of the student. When an appeal is taken from the
judgment of the court, the Executive Student Conduct Committee may, if it
deems to be in the best interest of the University community, suspend the
student pending the final disposition of the appeal. Any time after the conclusion
of the case in the courts, the student may request, in writing, from the Executive
Student Conduct Committee a clarification of his/her status. The status of the

V. Medical Amnesty Policy
Students are encouraged to exercise their ethical responsibility to assist others

alcohol and other drug student conduct practices guided by the North Carolina
Good Samaritan/Naloxone Access Law.
Campbell University encourages students to seek immediate assistance for
themselves or others whenever there is a concern about extreme intoxication,
alcohol poisoning, or an individual has been a victim of a crime (including but not
limited to physical or sexual assault, theft, vandalism). When seeking medical
attention, the first response is to contact 911. When seeking assistance, give
your name and remain with the student in need until help arrives.
Formal student conduct disciplinary action for a violation of the alcohol misuse
policies will not be taken under the following circumstances:
A student who has consumed alcohol and seeks assistance from a

University official or emergency personnel on behalf of another student
who has consumed alcohol and who remain on the scene to provide

person at Counseling Services for a confidential assessment; education; early

VIII. Residence Life & Housing
A. Undergraduate On-Campus Housing
Many of the valued attributes of a college education are a product of the
interaction among students in an environment structured to develop responsible
citizenship and leadership skills. Participation in the campus community is part
of the educational process. The campus community in large part is composed of
the university residence halls and apartments.
All undergraduate students (including 3/2 MBA candidates) are required to live
in on-campus housing for 6 consecutive Fall & Spring semesters (3 years) unless
granted approval to live off campus by the Office of Residence Life & Housing.
Students who are 21+ years of age, married, or commuting from the primary
residence of a parent within a 40-mile driving distance from 143 Main Street
Buies Creek, NC 27506 may submit a form and documentation for approval to
live off campus. (This Housing Policy does not apply to Transfer Students.)
Students interested in requesting an exception for the residency requirement (6
semester/3 year live on requirement stated above) please submit a request to
the Office of Residence Life & Housing via email to residencelife@campbell.edu
and inquire about our process for approval. During the approval process,

86
Returning Students: Students not planning to live on-campus must complete an
Off Campus Housing Form, have gone through to process, and qualify as
approved to live off campus by the Office of Residence Life & Housing. Failure
to do so will result in the student being charged for a residence hall room on
campus for the academic year. All returning students must make a $100.00
Housing Deposit in order to reserve a room for the Fall 2021 semester. This
Housing Deposit is required by March 1, 2021 and it will be applied to the room
rate for the Fall 2021 semester. It is refundable through May 1, 2021.
New Students: Campbell University requires a New Student Enrollment Deposit

Enrollment Deposit reserves your housing accommodations. The Admissions
Office will communicate with the Office of Residence Life & Housing on the
deposits received from new students. The Office of Residence Life & Housing will
communicate by email with new students about the housing application and
housing agreement. The housing application must be completed by all new
students, regardless of whether or not you plan to live on campus. The on-
campus housing assignments are made for first-year students following the date
of the admissions deposit and the submission of the housing application. All
undergraduate students (including 3/2 MBA candidates) are required to live in
on-campus housing for 6 consecutive Fall & Spring semesters (3 years) unless
granted approval to live off campus by the Office of Residence Life & Housing.

your request for off-campus housing is approved by the Office of Residence Life
& Housing, the New Student Enrollment Deposit will be completely allocated to

D. Residence Hall/Apartment/Fraternity & Sorority Village Housing
Agreement
The Office of Residence Life & Housing manages room assignments for on-
campus, undergraduate student housing. The assigned student in residence
halls, apartments, and Fraternity/Sorority Houses must sign a Campbell
University Housing Agreement that represents an agreement between the
University and the student for the current academic year. The University agrees
to provide a room for the student, and the student agrees to reside on campus
87
throughout the academic year (fall and spring semester) unless the student
graduates, withdraws from the University or gets married. A penalty/fine of
$750.00 will be assessed to students who break this housing agreement within
the academic year. If a student cancels their housing assignment before moving
into their assigned space a $250.00 cancellation fee will be applied to the
student's account. The Campbell University Housing Agreement is a
commitment by the student to live on the University campus for the academic
year but not for a specific room. Students living in on-campus housing must be
full-time students, registered for main campus classes and must carry a
minimum of 12 semester hours during the fall and spring semesters and 3
semester hours during a summer term. The occupancy of Fraternity and Sorority
houses must be at least 80% during the academic year. First year students are
not allowed to live in a Fraternity or Sorority house for the fall or spring of their
first academic year. The University attendance policy found in the
Undergraduate Studies Bulletin requires students to attend at least 80% of the
classes held in order to receive academic credit for a course. Students not
attending classes on a regular basis, with absences exceeding the 25% permitted
in the University attendance policy, will be required to move out of on-campus
housing. The University retains the right to immediately remove any student
from housing due to the student’s failure to follow University policies.
E. Summer School Housing
Students registering for summer school may choose to live in on-campus or off-
campus housing. A request for housing must be made to the Office of Residence
Life & Housing. Students choosing to live off campus for summer school but not
qualifying for off-campus housing must return to the residence halls or
apartments for the fall semester. Students desiring to attend summer school
must move out of the residence halls they are assigned to for the spring semester
for the time period between sessions. All students attending summer school and
not living year-round in an on-campus apartment will be housed together in a
residence hall designated for summer occupancy. Students living in on-campus
housing must carry a minimum of 3 semester hours during a summer term and
be enrolled in seated, main campus courses.
F. Disabilities
Residence Life & Housing can only honor accommodations and housing request
communicated via the Disability Services Office. Students interested in housing
accommodations must be registered with the Office of Disability Services and
88
complete their processes and procedures to receive the accommodation. It is
the responsibility of the student or his/her parent to notify Disability Services of
any assistance or special housing arrangements he/she may require due to a
disability. Every effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations for
students with documented disabilities.
During the 2020-2021 academic year Residence Life & Housing anticipated
limited available for residence hall and apartment space. This may make it
difficult to provide accommodations for students with documented disabilities
who were not previously registered before Summer 2020. Every effort will be
made to provide reasonable accommodations, however with reduced space;
options for accommodation may be limited.
G. Service & Emotional Support Animals
The only animals (other than fish) approved to live in campus housing are
service animals or emotional support animals. The process for approval to bring
service or emotional support animals begins with the Office of Disability
Services and students are not allowed to bring animals to campus until final
approval is given. Requests take 60-days to review. See Office of Disability
Services for more details.
H. Medical Information
It is the responsibility of students to notify the Office of Residence Life & Housing
and The Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine Community Health
Center of any medical or emotional condition a student has that will require
assistance from the housing staff. Students who take prescription drugs on a
regular basis should also notify Student Health Services. Such information will be
kept confidential.
I. Room Assignments
Returning Students: The room assignment and selection process for returning
students will be held in the spring of each year. Residence
hall/apartment/Fraternity & Sorority House room assignments are for a period
of one academic year from the beginning of the fall semester until the end of the
spring semester. When a room assignment is made, it represents a commitment
on the part of the student to occupy that space and pay the cost of the room and
meal plan (where applicable) for each semester or summer session. Students
living in on-campus housing must be current full-time registered students and
registered for main campus courses.
89
It is very important that students inform the staff in the Office of Residence Life
& Housing if they have been given a room assignment and are NOT going to
return to campus housing for the next year. Returning students who cancel their
housing assignment after selecting a room during the housing selection process
or fail to occupy their housing space by the first day of classes will be charged a
Cancellation Fee of $250.00. A penalty/fine of $750.00 will be assessed to any
student who breaks the Housing Agreement by not occupying their room by the
first day of classes or by moving out of their housing assignment within the
academic year. This includes students requesting to move out of their room
during the semester break. The fees for University housing are published by the
Business Office. Likewise, all housing related fees and rates are subject to the
University Refund Policy also published by the Business Office.
The Housing Selection Process is a structured event that is conducted over a
period of 2-3 weeks during the spring semester. Students will be informed of
dates and times of the Housing Selection Process by flyers and posters, during
hall meetings, and through email. Upon receipt of the Returning Student Housing
Deposit and Housing Agreement, students will be able to participate in the
Housing Selection Process. Receipt of the Returning Student Housing Deposit
may take up to 3 business days to process.
Students that are in a dating relationship cannot room together in on-campus
housing.
New Students: The staff in the Office of Residence Life & Housing, based upon
receipt of the Enrollment Deposit and the Housing Agreement, assigns rooms for
new students. The assignment process for new students begins in the spring
semester after the returning students have been assigned. Students are paired
together based on information given on their Housing Application or New
Student Survey. Assignments will be made available during the summer
months. Assignments will continue to be made until the beginning of the
semester.

halls and apartments are to be vacated by 5:00 p.m. on the day following the
student’s final exam. The staff in residence halls and apartments will check out
residential students who are vacating their rooms. To be checked out of his/her
91
room, a student must remove all personal property, properly dispose of all trash
and debris, sweep/vacuum the floor and lock all windows and doors. Any
damage to the room and/or missing furnishings will be noted on the student’s
Checkout Form and Room Condition Form. These forms and the student’s key(s)
must be turned in to the staff in the residence halls or apartments. The
University ID Card must also be turned in to a staff member at the time of
checkout if the student is withdrawing from the University. Residential students
failing to properly check out prior to leaving school will be billed for the cost of
changing the room and/or suite door locks. The students will also be billed for
the cost of cleaning the room, repairing damages, moving personal property out
of the room and replacing missing university owned furnishings.
Students who leave school during a semester must check out of their rooms
following the same procedure as outlined above. Failure to go through the
process of checking out will result in the student continuing to be charged for
the room as though he/she still occupies the room.
If campus were to close in the middle of the semester per a decision of Campbell
University Administration, students would be given an express check out form
from Residence Life Staff and a deadline for removing their belongings. A
student must remove all personal property, properly dispose of all thrash and
clean their space before returning the express check out form/envelope with the
keys inside. Should this occur during the semester please check your email for
more instructions specific to your hall.

residence halls and apartments. Express Check-Out drop boxes are located near
the Bob Barker Hall RD Apartment, Faculty Memorial Commons RD Apartment,
Fraternity/Sorority Houses RD Apartment, Jones Hall Student Entrance, and
Stadium Apartments RD Apartment. Students choosing this check-out method
do not have to check out with a staff member. Instead, students enclose their
room key(s) in a completed Express Check-Out Form and drop it off in one of the
designated Express Check-Out drop boxes described above. Students choosing
this check-out method accept full responsibility for damages in their room,
apartment, floor, and building, including the fines or repair/replacement cost
that result from those damages.

Apartments/Bob Barker Hall Suites: In the apartments and Bob Barker Hall
Suites, students are to follow the same safety standard as set forth above for
residence halls with the exception of toasters and George Foreman grills which
will be allowed only in the kitchen areas.
False Fire Alarms
The following actions are a violation of state law and will automatically be
addressed by the Campbell University disciplinary system as well as the Harnett
County Fire Marshall:
1. Intentionally setting or, through negligence, causing a fire
2. Unnecessarily activating a pull station or a smoke/heat detector,
thereby causing a fire alarm to sound

incendiary/explosive devise
The Buies Creek fire department will respond to all fire alarms/reports.
U. Refrigerators

refrigerator. Refrigerators must be connected DIRECTLY to electrical wall outlets
and draw 1.5 amps or less. Recommended size is 3.5 cubic feet or smaller.
V. Damages
Students are individually responsible for any damage to their assigned residence
hall, suite or apartment rooms and for damages to common areas. Any damage
to a residence hall, suite or apartment will be charged to the residents residing
where the damage has occurred.
Students may not play any ball games in or close to residence halls/apartment
buildings. This includes, but is not limited to softball, football and darts due to
the potential for damage and the disturbance of others who may be studying or
sleeping. Charges will be assessed individually or collectively if any damages are
made to university property and may involve disciplinary action.
W. Community Billing
A major part of the residential experience of living in a university community
involves living together on campus. Residents are expected to be responsible
97
with the ownership of their rooms and lobbies. If damage or vandalism occurs
in the halls, the student or students found to be responsible will be charged for
the repair and / or damages. At Campbell, we choose to use community billing
as each incident occurs. We believe this encourages a sense of ownership in
residents, accountability within the community, and improves our ability to
control costs. Whenever the responsible individual(s) can be identified, the cost
will apply to them, and they can also be found to be in violation of residence hall
polices or student conduct charges.
If the specific individual(s) do not come forward, the amount of the repair is
divided by the number of students in the hall or on the specific floor. Damage
or cleanliness issues that occur in common areas (lobby, kitchen area, stairwells,
hallways, windows, etc.) are charged to the entire residence hall. Billing rates are
determined by repair costs and labor.
X. Guest Policy

altered for the 2020-2021 academic year.

drop-in hours. Counseling Services defines a crisis as thoughts of killing yourself,
thoughts of hurting others, hearing or seeing things that others do not, a recent
physical attack, a recent sexual assault or a recent death of someone you were
close to.
Each academic year, regardless if you have been seen in the counseling center
previously, you will participate in a brief initial consultation to quickly highlight
your current concerns and needs. This consultation might be with an intern or a
therapist you have not seen before.
During this initial consultation appointment, you will:
learn about or review confidentiality
learn about the new appointment structure and Stepped Model of care
answer screening questions
very briefly highlight concerns that have prompted you to seek
counseling (The entire assessment will last no longer than 15 minutes.)
receive recommendations for services that best fit your current needs
If both you and the therapist (or intern) feel the Counseling Center’s services are
104
a good fit for you, the therapist (or intern) will schedule a next step for you. This
next step might be an educational group, a support group, or an intake
appointment with one of our therapists, intern, or practicum student(s).
B. Stepped Care Model:
Campbell University Counseling Services follows a Stepped Model of Care. The
guiding principle of Stepped Care is to provide services for students with the least
restrictive means. Research proves this is not only best practice, but provides
the best care for college students. All students meet initially with a therapist or
an intern for a brief screening in order to determine which counseling resources
are the best fit for their presenting concerns. This model of care incorporates a
variety of services including educational groups, support groups, therapy groups,
individual therapy, connection with campus resources, and referrals to
community resources.
Therapeutic Consultation- A confidential consultation with a therapist or intern
that takes place in the counseling center. During this consultation, students will
learn about or review confidentiality, learn about appointment structure and
model of care, answer questions related to experiences, struggles, and concerns
that brought you to the counseling center, receive recommendations for
treatment options, and ask any questions. Therapeutic Consultations take place
105
only during Counseling Services’ Drop-In hours (days/times TBD), unless a
student presents in crisis. Counseling Services defines a crisis as hearing or
seeing things that others do not, thoughts of killing yourself or hurting others, a
recent physical attack, a recent sexual assault or a recent death of someone you
were close to.
Foundations- Foundations is an introductory psychoeducational group for
students typically initiating services for the first time. This group is skills based in
nature and a place for students to learn about mental health concerns and
understand the importance of adequate coping skills and emotional regulation.
Drop-In Group- A therapy/process group that is open to any CU student. Drop-
In Group requires no registration or commitment to attend regularly. Drop-In
Group is a space for students to share experiences and struggles and receive
support from their peers. The group is facilitated by a therapist from Counseling
Services but has no specific content or curriculum. Students are encouraged to
come ready to share, learn, and grow along with their peers. This group will be
available both in-person and virtually (days/times TBD)
Let’s Talk- Let’s Talk is a brief casual consultation between any CU student and
a therapist or Counseling Services’ Intern. You do NOT need to be a client of
Counseling Services to utilize Let’s Talk. A therapist or intern will be set up at
various locations around campus such as the Student Union, Wiggins Library,
Academic Circle, and more (specific days and locations TBD). Students are
encouraged to utilize Let’s Talk as a consultation, problem solving session, to ask
questions, and be connected to resources.
Students who seek services at Campbell University Counseling Services are
expected to attend scheduled sessions promptly and consistently. Students who
have to cancel scheduled appointments for unanticipated reasons (sickness,
emergency, etc.) must notify Counseling Services by calling the front office (910-
814-5709) to cancel with the Administrative Assistant at least 12 hours prior to
the scheduled session. Students are encouraged to be respectful of therapists’
time and other students who are seeking services. In an effort to encourage
student’s accountability and responsibility, there will be a $5 fine for any no-
show or late cancellation of scheduled appointments.
Personal counseling can include assisting you in clarifying goals and finding
solutions to problems through careful listening, guiding self-exploration, and
suggesting new perspectives for consideration. The focus of Counseling Services
106
is to provide students with short-term counseling and many studentsconcerns
and problems can be addressed in four to six sessions. Services provided by the
Counseling Center are free of charge. If a student is in need of more intensive
treatment, he/she will be referred to a local private provider (at the student’s
expense).
Group sessions are another service provided by Counseling Services that is also
free and confidential. Research shows results that groups are more effective
than individual therapy. Examples of groups provided are Transforming
Thinking, Feel Better Fast, Self-Compassion, Stand Up For Yourself, and Me,
Myself, and Us.
Counseling Services also provides outreach events to promote awareness and
prevention of common mental health concerns. Examples of current Counseling
Services outreach events include the Stress Free Zone, Movember, Wellness
Week in the Creek and more. We are always in need of student
volunteers. Anyone who is interested in volunteering is welcome to reach out
to Amy Johnson, Assistant Director, at amjohnson@campbell.edu.
Counseling Services subscribes to the Ethical Standards of our mental health
licensure organizations (i.e., American Psychological Association, the American
Counseling Association, the National Association of Social Workers), substance
use licensure organizations (i.e., North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional
Practice Board), as well as the professional laws of the State of North Carolina.
Adherence to these standards ensures the confidentiality of all counseling and
assessment services. Information that you share with Counseling Services Staff
and your Therapist’s record of her work with you is confidential. These records
belong to Counseling Services and are NOT part of your academic records. This
means that the information will not be shared with your family, University
Personnel, students, or others unless: (1) you give prior written authorization,
(2) if, in your Therapist’s opinion, you are a clear danger to self or others, (3)
North Carolina law requires, as in the case of the presence of abuse of a child or
elderly person or a person with a disability, or (4) court-ordered disclosures. In
such cases, the Therapist acts on behalf of the student consistent with safety
needs and State laws. A student may want their Therapist to speak with a
Professor, other university official, family member, or someone else. This is
gladly done with that student's written consent.
Students may elect to pursue counseling through Pastoral Care from staff within
107
the Office of Spiritual Life. Their offices are located on the second floor of the
Wallace Building. Appointments may be made by calling (910) 893-1547.
Sexual Harassment, Sexual Exploitation, Non-Consensual Sexual Acts, and Sexual
Misconduct: Please note Counseling Services and the Associate Vice President
for Spiritual Life and the Campus Minister in the Office of Spiritual Life are
members of the campus community through whom a student may seek
confidential guidance and support. These resources may be consulted at any time
in the process, including prior to making an official report. Because content of
discussions with confidential resources is not reported to an office of record, such
discussions do not serve as notice to the University to address the alleged
discrimination or harassment. That is, Counseling Services and the Associate Vice
President for Spiritual Life and the Campus Minister in the Spiritual Life office are
exempt from mandated reporting of sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, non-
consensual sexual acts and sexual misconduct to the University. Information will
be released to the University only upon written permission from the individual.

X. Spiritual Life
A. Christian Higher Education
Campbell is a place of Christian higher education and we embrace the belief that
there is no conflict between the life of faith and the life of inquiry. This means it
is natural to have conversations about faith alongside academic course work. It
is not a requirement but an opportunity. Campbell is a place where God’s
presence can be openly and gratefully acknowledged and where students can be
encouraged to embrace a life-changing faith. This also means we provide space
for those who believe and think differently freedom to do so in a setting that
celebrates the value of faith formation.
B. The Office of Spiritual Life
The Office of Spiritual Life is deeply invested in ministry with our students. The
love of God compels us to be present with our students as they discover who
they are and who God is calling them to be. Because we are committed to
engaging both heart and mind, we seek to make space for students to explore
their faith in a community that will welcome and challenge them.
We believe that this work matters and that faith formation is vital to the college
experience. The Spiritual Life offices are located on the second floor of the
Wallace Building. For more information, contact dawsone@campbell.edu.
C. Connections
Connections (CUC) reflects the Christian mission and purpose of Campbell
University by offering experiences that seek to nurture the spiritual life of
students from a Christian perspective and help to build a strong sense of
community. Programs do not attempt to coerce students to worship or embrace
a particular set of beliefs or value system. It is one of the longest standing
traditions at Campbell University as we maintain our rich Christian heritage.
Connections educates, challenges, and prepares students to live and act
responsibly in this world. The gathering provides an opportunity for the
community to engage in worship and programming that inspires, challenges,
enriches, and transforms.
Students take Connections in the second semester of their first year and first
semester of their second year. For information about academic requirements of
CUC, consult the university bulletin.
D. Student Led Ministry Groups
Student led ministry groups exist to help students grow in their faith by fostering

Students have the option to join an all female, all male or co-ed group. Groups
are led by students, faculty, staff, church leaders and alumni. During the 2020-

semesters. Visit the Spiritual Life page of the Campbell website for further

3.
Disability Services
In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Campbell
University does not condone or permit discrimination against qualified
applicants and students with disabilities in its educational programs, activities,
services, and practices. Reasonable accommodations to known disabilities of
otherwise qualified students will be made in such areas as application
procedures, course assignments, testing, meal plans, and housing. However, it
is important to note the following:
a. The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits university personnel from
requesting information from students or parents about
disabilities. Therefore, it is the student’s responsibility to make his or her
need for assistance known to the University. The Office of Disability Services
is pleased to assist students with disabilities in coordinating the University’s
response to their needs for assistance when requested to do so. This office
is part of the University’s department of Student Success and is located in
the Student Services Building on main campus.
b. All students are expected and required to meet the same basic academic
and behavioral standards. These standards are described in course syllabi,
The University Bulletin, the University’s Statement of Purpose and Code of
Honor, the Academic Honor Code and the Student Code of
Conduct. Reasonable accommodations will be made to allow students with
disabilities an equal opportunity to meet these standards.
c. Service and Emotional Support Animals on Campus: Campbell University is
compliant with state and federal law regarding service and emotional
support animals on campus. Service Animals, defined as a dog that is trained
125
to complete a task for a person with a disability, are welcome anywhere on
campus that their handler is allowed to visit. Emotional support animals,
defined as an animal whose sole function is to provide emotional support,
comfort, therapy, companionship, therapeutic benefits, or to promote
emotional well-being of a person who has a disability, are allowed in the
student user’s assigned housing only.
Service Animals are allowed to attend class, events, etc. with their
handler and the handler must remain in control of the animal at all times.
Any animal may be excluded from an event or facility if the animal is
disruptive, aggressive or unclean.
The only animals (other than fish) approved to live in campus housing
are Service Animals or Emotional Support Animals, and prior approval is
required before moving an animal into campus housing. The process for
approval begins with the Disability Services office, and students are not
allowed to bring animals to live on campus until final approval is given.
Campbell University recognizes its responsibility to accommodate the needs of
otherwise qualified students with disabilities. However, students should be
aware that the transition from high school to college involves the student
accepting a significantly increased degree of responsibility for determining and
documenting the need for accommodations and bringing that information to the
attention of instructors and administrators.
More specific information can be found in the “Student DSS Guide” available on
the Student Success pages of Campbell website at
https://www.campbell.edu/students/student-success/disability-services/.

First-Year Experience Programs
Campbell University recognizes that the first year is unique and fundamental to
establishing studentscommitment to higher learning. The Office of the First-
Year Experience provides support and resources for the intellectual and social
transition of new students by offering courses and programs that foster engaged
learning and participation in the Campbell University community. A few of these
initiatives include:
Transition Leaders: Campbell University Transition Leaders (TLs) are
undergraduate student leaders selected to welcome incoming students
virtually before arriving to campus and during their first few days on campus
through The Tartan (orientation).

(CUFS 100) is a one-credit course designed to assist incoming first-year
students in developing behaviors and knowledge-based skills which allow
them to be successful and make positive contributions to the university and
wider community.

course by serving as a role model and mentor to first-year students. Peer
Mentors are an essential aspect of the class experience and assist the
instructor by offering their unique perspectives of life as a Campbell
Student.
The 1st Generation Camels Mentoring Program: Designed to provide first
generation college students with meaningful relationships with faculty, staff
and alumni who were also first generation college students.

XIV. Title IX
Non-discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Violence, Non-Retaliation
Policy; Title IX Investigation and Hearing Procedures
A. Notice of Non-Discrimination; Complaints Concerning Discrimination,
Hostile Environment, and/or Sexual Harassment under Title IX.
Campbell University is committed to equality of educational opportunity.
Campbell University does not tolerate acts of sexual harassment, gender-based
violence, sexual misconduct, and sex and/or gender-based discrimination. All
members of our community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner
that reflects personal integrity and a respect for others.
Campbell University recognizes the serious and negative impacts sexual and
gender-based violence and harassment have on individuals and the University
community. To that end, the University endeavors to eliminate and prevent
them and address their effects. This policy outlines how the University receives,
investigates, responds to, and resolves complaints of sexual misconduct,
gender-based violence, and sex and/or gender based discrimination and
harassment as defined herein whether occurring on or off campus regardless of
whether the Responding Party, as defined in this policy, is a student, faculty
member, staff, or third party.
Campbell University is committed to providing a safe and non-discriminatory
learning, living, and working environment for all members of the University
community. The University does not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender
in any of its education or employment programs and activities. Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in
the University’s programs and activities.
The University will respond to complaints or reports about prohibited conduct
with measures designed to stop the behavior, eliminate any such
discrimination, prevent the recurrence of the prohibited conduct, and
remediate any adverse effects of such conduct on campus or in University-
related programs or activities. This may include the implementation of interim
restriction(s). The University has an obligation to make reasonable efforts to
investigate and address complaints or reports of sex discrimination, including
but not limited to, sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking,
dating/domestic violence, retaliation, and other related forms of sex
discrimination or sexual misconduct, whenever it becomes aware of such a
complaint or report. Collectively, these terms are referred to in this policy as
135
“Sexual Misconduct.” Once made aware, the University must conduct an
investigation regardless of how the information was brought to the University’s
attention or the extent to which the Complainant wishes to participate or be
involved. This policy refers to the individual who is the alleged victim of the
behavior(s) in question as the “Complainant” and the alleged to have
committed the violation of the policy as the “Respondent.”
Students, staff, and faculty who believe they have been subjected to
discrimination or harassment in violation of Title IX should follow the
procedures outlined in this policy to report these concerns immediately to the
Title IX Coordinator identified below. Title IX prohibits retaliation by any
student and/or employee against anyone who reports an alleged Title IX
violation.
Inquiries, regarding the application of Title IX and other laws, regulations and
policies prohibiting discrimination may be directed to Mrs. Kellie Nothstine,
Title IX Coordinator, P.O. Box 95 (Wallace Building, Room 237), Buies Creek, NC,
27506, 910-893-2039 / FAX 910-893-1534; nothstine@campbell.edu, or Ms.
Malinda Ashcraft, Deputy Title IX Coordinator, ashcraft@campbell.edu.
Inquiries may also be directed to the United States Department of Education's
Office for Civil Rights, District of Columbia Office, U.S. Department of
Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W. Washington, DC 20202-1475.
Telephone :( 202)453-6020; Facsimile :( 202)453-6021; Email: OCR.DC@ed.gov
This Title IX policy governs the conduct of Campbell University students,
regardless of enrollment status; faculty; staff; and third parties (i.e., non-
members of the University community, such as vendors, alumni/ae, visitors, or
local residents).
This Title IX policy applies to all University programs and activities. All campus
community members are responsible for their actions and behavior, whether
the conduct in question occurs on campus or in another location. Members of
the campus community have a responsibility to adhere to University policies
and local, state and federal law. As a result, this policy applies both to on-
campus and off-campus conduct. In particular, off-campus behaviors that have
an actual or potential adverse impact on any member of the campus
community or the University fall under this policy.
Third parties are both protected by and subject to this policy. A third party may
report or file a complaint concerning a violation of this policy committed by a
member of the University community. A third party may also be permanently
barred from the University or subject to other restrictions for failing to comply
with this policy. This policy applies to conduct that occurs on University
property, and in certain circumstances, off University property (i.e., off
136
campus). This policy applies to conduct that occurs off campus when the
conduct is associated with a University-sponsored program or activity, such as
travel, research, or internship programs; when it utilizes University owned or
provided technology resources; or when such conduct may have a nexus to
campus, such as a continuing adverse effect or creation of a hostile
environment on campus. Judgments about these matters will depend upon the
facts of an individual case.
B. Campus Life Policies and Practices
Campbell University is fortunate to have a very safe campus. Nevertheless, the
possibility of rape, date rape, and sexual assault exists, just as it exists on any
campus. The University's approach to addressing this problem is to (a) educate
the campus community as a means of prevention; (b) deter such acts through
prompt reporting and investigation of alleged violations of this policy, and the
imposition of sanctions where a violation is found by a preponderance of the
evidence; (c) provide assistance to Complainants; and (d) place Complainants in
contact with local law enforcement to investigate possible legal prosecution.
Educational programs on Title IX including Campbell’s policies, consent, sexual
harassment and assault, and bystander intervention are conducted through the
Title IX office. Counseling options are listed in this publication under IX.
Counseling Services.
If a student, staff, or faculty member believes someone they know has
experienced sexual misconduct, they should promptly report incidents to the
Title IX Coordinator: Mrs. Kellie Nothstine, Title IX Coordinator, P.O. Box 95
(Wallace Building, Room 237), Buies Creek, NC, 27506, 910-893-2039 / FAX 910-
893-1534; nothstine@campbell.edu. All faculty and staff (including all Graduate
Assistants, Resident Assistants, Resident Directors, and Resident Chaplains) who
observe or aware of sexual misconduct are required to immediately report to
the Title IX Coordinator. The faculty or staff member should not investigate or
try and resolve or mediate the situation.
Campbell University encourages the reporting of possible violations of Title IX
policy by those subject to the violation or witnesses. Sometimes students are
reluctant to make such reports or participate in a grievance proceeding
because they themselves may be accused of a conduct violation, such as
drinking. However, it is in the best interests for those subject to sexual
misconduct or witnesses of possible violations to report to the Title IX
Coordinator. Thus, a student who reports sexual misconduct by another will
not be subject to conduct violations or disciplinary proceedings for her/his own
personal consumption or possession of alcohol at or near the time of the
incident, provided that the reporting student’s actions did not place the health
137
or safety of any other person at risk or violate additional University policies.
Only those who are subject to the violation or a witness may receive amnesty,
not the alleged Respondent.
Any Campbell University employee could at one time or another receive a
report of actual or suspected sexual harassment or retaliation. All University
full-time employees are considered mandated reporters under Title IX, except
designated full-time campus ministers and full-time counselors within the
University Counseling Center. Mandated Reporter means an employee of the
University who is obligated by policy to share knowledge, notice, and/or
reports of harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation with the Title IX
Coordinator.
All Campbell University employees shall refrain from any inappropriate
relationship with students to the extent that the relationship may compromise
any policies and/or expectations of the University as a Christian institution of
higher education. Inappropriate relationships include any romantic or physically
intimate liaison with a student outside the bonds of marriage.
All graduate assistants shall not engage in a dating or inappropriate relationship
with an undergraduate student that they have direct supervisory authority over.
C. Definitions and Prohibited Behavior
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 specifically prohibits sexual
harassment as in unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe,
pervasive, and objectively offensive that creates a hostile environment that
effectively denies a person equal access to an educational program or activity.
This also includes Quid Pro Quo sexual harassment.
This includes, but is not limited to the following types of sexual harassment:
Sexual Harassment
Non-Consensual Sexual Contact
Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse
Sexual Exploitation
Relationship violence
Stalking (based on sex)
Title IX applies to sexual harassment that occurs in the following circumstances:
On-campus;
138
Or within an educational program or activity, which includes any building
owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized
by Campbell University;
Against a person who is located in the U.S.
These instances of prohibited conduct as applied through the terms above and
definitions below will be addressed through the Title IX Investigation &
Outcome Proceeding section of this policy.
Instances of Sexual Misconduct and Gender-Based Violence as outlined above
that do not fall under these strict regulations will be dismissed under Title IX
and addressed through the Community Standards and Conduct Policy of
Campbell University.
Advisor means a person chosen by a party or appointed by Campbell University
to accompany the party to meetings related to the resolution process, to advise
the party on that process, and to conduct cross-examination for the party at
the hearing, if any.
Coercion is unreasonable pressure for sexual activity. Coercive conduct differs
from seductive conduct based on factors such as the type and/or extent of the
pressure used to obtain consent. When someone makes clear that they do not
want to engage in certain sexual activity, that they want to stop, or that they
do not want to go past a certain point of sexual interaction, continued pressure
beyond that point can be coercive.
Complainant means an individual who is alleged to be the victim of conduct
that could be sexual harassment based on a protected class; or retaliation for
engaging in a protected activity.
Complaint (formal) means a document submitted or signed by a Complainant
or signed by the Title IX Coordinator alleging sexual harassment or retaliation
for engaging in a protected activity against a Respondent and requesting that
Campbell University investigate the allegation.
Consent is clear, knowing, and voluntary words or actions that give permission
for specific sexual activity. Consent is active, not passive. Silence, in and of
itself, cannot be interpreted as consent. Consent can be given by words or
actions, as long as those words or actions create mutually understandable
permission regarding willingness to engage in (and the conditions of) sexual
activity. There is no consent when force, coercion, intimidation, or threats are
used. There also cannot be consent when an individual is incapacitated.
Consent to any one form of sexual activity cannot automatically imply consent
139
to any other forms of sexual activity, nor can previous relationships or previous
consent imply consent to any future sexual acts. Consent can be withdrawn
once it is given, as long as that withdrawal is clearly communicated. Lastly, one
must be of legal age to grant consent. Legal age in North Carolina is 16 years of
age.
Dating Violence, defined as: a. violence, b. based on sex, c. committed by a
person, d. who is in or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or
intimate nature with the Complainant
For the purposes of this definition dating violence includes, but is not limited
to, sexual or physical abuse or the threat of such abuse. Dating violence does
not include acts covered under the definition of domestic violence.
Domestic Violence, defined as: a. violence, b. based on sex, c. committed by a
current or former spouse or intimate partner of the Complainant, d. by a
person with whom the Complainant shares a child in common, or e. by a
person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabitated with, the Complainant as a
spouse or intimate partner.
Respondent means an individual who has been reported to be the perpetrator
of conduct that could constitute sexual harassment or retaliation for engaging
in a protected activity.
Retaliation is defined as any adverse action taken against a person for making a
complaint of prohibited conduct or for participating or being involved in the
investigation of any such allegation. Retaliation is prohibited with or without a
Cease Contact Directive. Report alleged acts of retaliation to the Title IX
Coordinator, Deputy Title IX Coordinator(s), and/or Campus Safety & Police. It
is a violation of University policy to retaliate against those involved in a
complaint of harassment, discrimination, or sexual misconduct. Such conduct is
inconsistent with University policy and may also be prohibited by law. Instances
of retaliation will be investigated and adjudicated, and sanctioned where
appropriate, as outlined in this policy.
Sexual Harassment is the umbrella category that includes the actual or
attempted offenses of sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence,
dating violence, and stalking, and is defined as: conduct based on sex or that is
sexual in nature and that satisfies one or more of the following definitions:
1) Quid Pro Quo: a. an employee of the University, b. conditions the provision
of an aid, benefit, or service of the University, c. on an individual’s participation
in unwelcome sexual conduct.
140
2) Sexual Harassment: a. unwelcome conduct, b. determined by a reasonable
person, c. to be so severe, and d. pervasive, and, e. objectively offensive, f. that
it effectively denies a person equal access to the University’s education
program or activity.
3) Sexual assault: Any sexual act directed against another person without the
consent of the Complainant, including instances in which the Complainant is
incapable of giving consent. Sexual acts include:
a. Forcible Rape: Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus
with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another
person, without the consent of the Complainant.
b. Forcible Sodomy: Oral or anal sexual intercourse with another person,
forcibly, and/or against that person’s will (non-consensually), or not forcibly
or against the person’s will in instances in which the Complainant is
incapable of giving consent because of age or because of temporary or
permanent mental or physical incapacity.
c. Sexual Assault with an Object: The use of an object or instrument to
penetrate, however slightly, the genital or anal opening of the body of
another person, forcibly, and/or against that person’s will (non-
consensually), or not forcibly or against the person’s will in instances in
which the Complainant is incapable of giving consent because of age or
because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity.
d. Forcible Fondling: The touching of the private body parts of another
person (buttocks, groin, breasts), for the purpose of sexual gratification,
forcibly, and/or against that person’s will (non-consensually), or not forcibly
or against the person’s will in instances in which the Complainant is
incapable of giving consent because of age or because of temporary or
permanent mental or physical incapacity. This would include having another
person touch you sexually, forcibly, or without their consent.
Acts of sexual harassment may be committed by any person upon any other
person, regardless of the sex, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity of
those involved.
Stalking, defined as: a. engaging in a course of conduct, b. based on sex, c.
directed at a specific person, that would cause a reasonable person to fear for
the person’s safety, or the safety of others; or Suffer substantial emotional
distress. For the purposes of this definition Course of conduct means two or
more acts, including, but not limited to, acts in which the Respondent directly,
141
indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means,
follows, monitors, observes, surveils, threatens, or communicates to or about a
person, or interferes with a person’s property.
D. Rights of Parties Involved
Both the Complainant and Respondent are afforded Rights within this policy,
including:
Have a written statement of the charges.
Have written notice of the date, time and place of investigative interviews
and no sooner than 2 business days prior to the interview.
Have equal opportunity to access, and present evidence to the
investigators.
Receive reasonable accommodation(s) as determined by Dean of Campus
Life and Disability Services.
Be kept informed of the status of a report and anticipated resolution
timeline.
Have the investigation/interviews postponed for good cause. (Request for
postponement must be made no less than two days prior to the scheduled
time of the hearing and must be made in writing to the Title IX
Coordinator.
Have an advisor of their choosing. (Please note the advisor’s role as
outlined in Intake & Investigation)
Hear and respond to the information related to the charge(s).
Provide information on their own behalf.
Obtain witnesses on their own behalf.
Submit questions for the other parties interviewed during the
investigation. (Please see Intake & Investigation for more information).
Know the final outcome of the investigation, including level of

E. Respondent’s Withdrawal or Decision Not to Participate in Investigation
If the Respondent chooses not to participate in the process, the Respondent
will still be informed that he or she is alleged to have violated University policy,
that an investigation will be conducted, and that the resolution process will
continue.
Respondents may elect to Withdraw Pending a Hearing. If a Respondent
142
withdraws from the University without request and subsequent approval, a
letter will be sent to the University Registrar indicating an investigation and
determination are pending. If the student attempts to re-enroll before the
matter is resolved, the registrar will notify the Title IX Coordinator. The matter
must be fully resolved, including completion of potential Outcomes, before the
student is eligible to seek re-enrollment at the University.
F. Standard of Evidence
Preponderance of Evidence is the standard of proof in which decisions will be
made regarding violations of this policy. The standard of preponderance of
evidence is defined as being more likely than not that a policy violation
occurred. Respondents are presumed not responsible until a determination has
been made, and Complainants are presumed to be reporting in good faith.
False reports are a violation of our Code of Conduct and may be investigated
through the Office of Community Standards and Student Conduct.
G. Title IX Intake & Investigation
All Formal Complaints received within the scope of Federal Title IX Regulations
will be addressed through the Title IX policies here-in. Allegations of behavior
outside the scope of these regulations will be addressed by the Office of
Community Standards. Allegations of prohibited conduct outside Federal Title
IX Regulations against faculty and staff shall be addressed through the
processes outlined in the Personnel Manual.
Reports against students will be handled according to the following
procedures:
1.
Title IX Roles in Investigations:
Title IX Coordinator: The Title IX Coordinator is a full-time staff member
trained in all aspects of Title IX and this policy and process. The Coordinator is
responsible for overseeing the University’s education, prevention, and
response to Sexual Misconduct, Gender-Based Violence, and Gender and/or
Sex-based harassment and discrimination. The Title IX Coordinator receives
reports, assigns investigators, reviews investigative reports, coordinates and
facilitates the hearing process and serves as the primary point of contact
regarding Title IX at the University. The Title IX Coordinator (or designee) also
facilitates informal resolution of complaints.
Title IX Council: The Title IX Council will conduct a live, recorded hearing to
review the information presented in the investigation report, hear testimony,
143
cross examinations of parties and witnesses, ask their own questions to the
parties and to determine if an individual or individuals violated the University
policy (and, if yes, to determine an appropriate sanction). Members of this
council will be appointed by the Vice President for Student Life.
Chair of Title IX Council: The chair will determine within the Title IX Council if
questions made by advisors on behalf of the Complainant or the Respondent
are relevant. The Chair will explain the decision to exclude any irrelevant
question. The Chair will be appointed from among the members selected to sit
on the Title IX Council by the Vice President for Student Life.
Title IX Hearing Committee: This committee serves as an appeal committee for
students, faculty, and/or staff who have been subjected to discrimination or
harassment in violation of Title IX and alleged assailants who have violated Title
IX policies. It may impose sanctions from a reprimand to university expulsion.
Decisions made by this committee may be appealed to the Executive Appeals
Committee. The membership of the Title IX Hearing Council (THC) is listed in the
University Faculty and Staff Committee Guide.
The Executive Appeals Committee: The Executive Appeals Committee is
chaired by the Vice President for Student Life and consist of members of the
Executive Administration. This committee considers appeals of decisions made
by the Executive Student Conduct Committee and the Title IX Hearing
Committee. This committee does not hear personal appeals or oral arguments.
It may affirm, reduce, or increase sanctions. Decisions reached by the Executive
Appeals Committee are final.
All members of the Title IX Council and Title IX Hearing Committee will receive
annual training.
2.
Title IX Intake:
When Prohibited Conduct within the scope of Federal Title IX Regulations is
alleged, the Title IX procedures can only be taken when a formal complaint is
submitted in writing (in hard copy or electronic form) by the Complainant
denoting the submission is in fact a formal complaint and the Complainant
wishes formal or alternative action be pursued or by the Title IX Coordinator,
who can submit a formal complaint without the Complainant. Regardless of a
request that an investigation not be pursued, the University may still provide
supportive measures and resources to a Complainant and Respondent. The
University will not only take steps to prevent retaliation but will take a strong
responsive action if retaliation occurs, even if a formal investigation is not
pursued.
144
Complainants can withdraw their formal complaint at any time in the process
up until the start of the Title IX hearing.
3.
Title IX Informal Resolution
Campbell University may offer informal or alternative resolution of a complaint,
such as mediation, that does not require a full investigation or hearing. The
Title IX Coordinator has final discretion to determine if it would be appropriate
to use an alternative resolution to resolve a sexual misconduct complaint.
A formal complaint through the Title IX office must be filed in order to pursue
an alternative resolution. Once a party request informal resolution, the Title IX
Coordinator will send written notice to the Complainant and Respondent
detailing the allegations and the informal resolution process including the right
to withdraw. Both parties must give voluntary, informed, written consent to
engage in the alternative resolution process. Any time prior to agreeing to a
resolution, any party has the right to withdraw from the alternative resolution
process and resume the formal grievance process with respect to the original
complaint. Outcomes agreed upon during the alternative resolution process are
final, without an appeal option.
4.
Title IX Timing of Investigations:
If the Title IX Coordinator determines that a full investigation is necessary, the
University will conduct a prompt, fair, and impartial investigation.
Investigations regarding potential violations of this policy are expected to be
completed in a timely fashion, however, investigations may take longer in some
circumstances, including but not limited to the complexity of the case, the
number of parties involved, the availability and cooperation of parties and
witnesses, the University calendar, or instances where the University
investigation may compromise a law enforcement investigation. (Note: The
University may delay its investigation to allow evidence collection by law
enforcement, however, this policy and the processes herein are separate and
distinct from any criminal investigation or legal proceeding.)
5.
Use of Electronic Devices:
The Complainant and the Respondent will not be allowed to use electronic
devices during the meeting with the Title IX Coordinator, subsequent
investigation meetings, reviewing documents, and in any Hearings; except to
reveal evidence to the Title IX Coordinator that is on the electronic device.
145
6.
Supportive Measures throughout and after process:
Campbell University will offer and implement appropriate and reasonable
supportive measures to the parties upon notice of alleged sexual harassment
and/or retaliation covered by this policy. Supportive measures are non-
disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as
reasonably available, and without fee or charge to the parties to restore or
preserve access to the University’s education program or activity, including
measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the University’s
educational environment, and/or deter sexual harassment or retaliation. The
Title IX Coordinator promptly makes supportive measures available to the
parties upon receiving notice or a complaint.
7.
Interim Measures and Remedies for the Complainant.
If deemed necessary by the Title IX Coordinator, interim remedial measures to
avoid contact between the Complainant and the Respondent may be taken prior
to completion of the investigation to change academic and extracurricular
activities including living, transportation, dining, and working situations. The
Complainant will be referred to the Office of Student Life to make him/her aware
of all available resources such as victim advocacy, housing assistance, academic
support, counseling, disability services, and health and mental health services,
and the right to report a crime to Campus Safety or the Harnett County Sheriff’s
Department.
The Vice President for Student Life in conjunction with the Title IX Coordinator
may direct interim measures and or remedies for the Complainant which may
include, but are not limited to:
Providing an effective escort to ensure that the Complainant can move
safely between classes and activities;
Ensuring the Complainant and Respondent do not share classes or
extracurricular activities;
Moving the Respondent or Complainant (if the Complainant requests to be
moved) to a different residence hall;
Providing comprehensive, holistic victim services including medical,
counseling and academic support services, such as tutoring;
Arranging for the Complainant to have extra time to complete or re-take a
class or withdraw from a class without an academic or financial penalty.
146
8.
Title IX Advisors:
The Complainant and Respondent each may have an advisor or support person
of their choosing present throughout the process. This person may be a friend,
family member, faculty or staff member, or an attorney. The University has
designated and trained individuals who may serve in this capacity and their
information will be shared with both parties if requested. The role of the
advisor is limited in scope. Complainants and Respondents are expected to ask
and respond to questions each on their own behalf, as an advisor may not
answer for, speak for, or represent the advisee. The advisor may consult with
their advisee quietly or in writing during hearings and meetings, or outside
during breaks. Complainants and Respondents should inform the Title IX
Coordinator in advance of any meeting, if an advisor will be present so they
may make accommodations for the meeting location.
There is one instance and one instance only, where an advisor will speak on
behalf of their advisee. Should a formal proceeding continue to the council,
advisors are required (if a party does not have an advisor the university will
provide one for the participant) to conduct the cross-examination of the other
party and witnesses on behalf of their advisee. A party may reject the
university provided advisor and choose their own advisor, but they may not
proceed without an advisor as part of the council hearing. Campbell University
cannot guarantee equal advisory rights, meaning that if one party selects an
advisor who is an attorney, but the other party does not or cannot afford an
attorney, Campbell University is not obligated to provide an attorney or pay for
the services of any advisor.
Advisors and questions will be expected to follow strict adherence to the
hearing rules of decorum and failure to adhere will result in the removal of the
advisor from the hearing process.
A party may elect to change advisors during the process and is not obligated to
use the same advisor throughout. The parties are expected to inform the Title
IX Coordinator of the identity of their advisor at least two (2) business days
before the date of their council meeting. The parties are expected to provide
timely notice to the Title IX Coordinator if they change advisors at any time.
9.
Title IX Investigation and Resolution:
When it is determined that a formal investigation is necessary, the Title IX
Coordinator will open a case file and the investigation will proceed as follows:
147
Determine the identity of the Complainant (if not already known), the
Respondent (if not already known), any witnesses, and contact information
for all involved.
Specify prohibited conduct within this policy to have allegedly occurred.
Send a Notice of Investigation and Potential Violation to the Respondent
and Complainant.
o Note: Notices will be sent via e-mail to recipients University provided
e-mail address. Per University policy, it is expected that e-mail is
checked consistently and in a timely manner.
The Title IX Coordinator will review statements obtained from all parties,
conduct interviews with both the Complainant and Respondent, conduct
witness interviews, and identify, locate, and review other pertinent
information.
o The Complainant and Respondent will have the same opportunity to
identify witnesses for the Title IX Coordinator to interview. The Title
IX Coordinator reserve the right to forgo interviewing a witness if it is
determined that the person does not have information that is
relevant to the investigation. The Title IX Coordinator will not
interview character witnesses if they have no pertinent factual
information about the incident. Additionally, letters or artifacts
addressing character will not be included into the record for
consideration.
If the investigation reveals that the matter should be dismissed, the Title IX
Coordinator can dismiss the formal complaint for one of the following:
1. Mandatory Dismissal
a. Conduct does not constitute sexual harassment under Title IX;
b. Conduct did not occur in an education program or activity;
c. Conduct did not occur in the United States.
2. Discretionary Dismissal
a. Complainant withdraws the formal complaint in writing to the
Title IX Coordinator;
b. Respondent is no longer enrolled or employed by Campbell
University;
c. Circumstances prevent Campbell University from gathering
sufficient evidence to reach a determination.
Once the Title IX Coordinator has determined that the complaint should be
dismissed, a written notice of dismissal is sent to the Complainant,
Respondent and their advisors, detailing the reason for dismissal. Note:
dismissal under Title IX does not preclude action under Campbell
University Code of Conduct.
148
Either party may submit a request to appeal the dismissal of a formal
complaint or any allegations within the formal complaint of prohibited
behavior under Title IX.
If the matter is not dismissed, the Title IX Coordinator will work to
complete and issue an Investigative Report. Prior to completing the report,
the Complainant and Respondent and their advisors will be provided with
all information and evidence gathered during the investigation and given
10 business days to review and submit a written response to the Title IX
Coordinator for consideration prior to compiling the final Investigative
Report.
The Title IX Coordinator will compile an Investigative Report that fairly
summarizes the investigation and the information gathered throughout.
The Complainant and Respondent, and their advisors, will receive a copy of
the Investigative Report 10 business days prior to the scheduled date of
their hearing.
The Title IX Council will conduct a live, recorded hearing utilizing Webex or
video conferencing for each party. No party or their advisor will be in-
person in front of the Title IX Council. All parties are required to be present
on the video conference via video and audio. The Title IX Coordinator will
facilitate the hearing, including scheduling, document sharing, adding
parties when necessary, and facilitating any technical issues.
Title IX Council will review the Investigative Report, ask questions of the
parties and witnesses, then allow for cross-examination by the party’s
advisor. Only relevant questions may be asked to a party or witness.
Before a party or witness answers a question, the Chair of Title IX Council
will determine if the question is relevant and explain the decision to
exclude any irrelevant question. Title IX Council may have additional
questions for each party prior to deliberation and may ask them.
o Questions about a Complainant’s sexual predisposition or prior sexual
behavior are irrelevant, unless they are offered to prove that
someone other than the Respondent committed the alleged conduct
or offered to prove consent.
o If any party or witness does not submit to cross-examination at the
live Title IX Council or participate in the Council as a whole, the Title
IX Council cannot rely on any statement of that party or witness in
reaching a determination.
After questioning is complete, each party will then be given an opportunity
to provide a closing statement. Upon completion of closing statements,
the hearing will conclude for deliberation by the Title IX Council.
The Title IX Council will render a decision and the Title IX Coordinator will
concurrently send the parties a written Notice of Outcome within 5
business days of the Council’s conclusion. The Notice of Outcome will
149
include the allegations, the procedural steps taken in the matter, the
determination of responsibility for each potential policy violation, rationale
and findings of fact to support the determination, and Outcomes including
any disciplinary sanctions (if applicable).
The Complainant and Respondent have the right to appeal both the
findings and Outcomes (when applicable). For detailed information on the
Appeal process, please see the Appeals section.
H. Appeals
The Title IX Hearing Committee (THC) will hear appeals regarding cases
investigated within this policy. Both Complainant and Respondent will be
afforded equal opportunity to submit appeals under this policy. It is comprised
of faculty and staff members trained in both this policy and appeal process, and
the issues related to sexual misconduct and gender-based violence.
Appeals must be made in writing within 3 school days to Office of the Vice
President for Student Life. If the request is timely filed, the THC shall conduct a
hearing within ten school (10) days, after notice to the Complainant or
Respondent.
Appeal requests are subject to the procedures outlined below. The written
appeal must be clear, specific, and contain a detailed statement regarding the
grounds for appeal. Appeals are not re-hearings. The decision will be based
solely on the written appeal, the Investigative Report, and the Notice of
Outcome and included rationale. Hearing Committee members will also have
access to review the recorded Title IX Council prior to deliberating with other
Hearing Committee members.
Only appeals based on the following grounds will be considered by the THC:
1. A procedural [or substantive] error occurred that significantly
impacted the outcome of the Title IX Council (e.g. substantiated bias,
material deviation from established procedures, etc.);
2. To consider new evidence, unavailable during the original
investigation or Title IX Council, that could substantially impact the
original finding or sanction. A summary of this new evidence and its
potential impact must be included;
3. The sanctions assigned are substantially disproportionate to the
severity of the violation.
Once a request for an Appeal is submitted, written notice will be provided to
the other party sharing the submission and the appeal procedures. Each party
will be given the opportunity to submit a written response in support of or
challenging the outcome, for consideration.
150
All Outcomes imposed remain in effect during the appeal until a final decision is
made and communicated to the student(s). (Exceptions to this policy are at the
discretion of the Title IX Coordinator and the Vice President of Student Life).
The THC has the authority to:
1. Uphold the original decision;
2. Uphold the original decision but change the Outcome (more or less
severe);
3. Change the not/responsible decision; or
4. Remand the case back to the Title IX Coordinator to be investigated
again.
The Complainant and the Respondent will both be notified of the THC decision
and will both have the option, if dissatisfied, to make written appeals to the
Executive Appeals Committee (EAC) through the Office of the Vice President for
Student Life. Notice of such appeals must be provided to the Office of the Vice
President for Student Life within three (3) school days of the decision of the THC.
The ONLY grounds for appeal are as follows:
1. A procedural [or substantive] error occurred that significantly
impacted the outcome of the hearing (e.g. substantiated bias, material
deviation from established procedures, etc.);
2. To consider new evidence, unavailable during the original hearing or
investigation, that could substantially impact the original finding or
sanction. A summary of this new evidence and its potential impact
must be included;
3. The sanctions assigned are substantially disproportionate to the
severity of the violation.
If the EAC determines that new evidence should be considered, it will return the
complaint to the THC to reconsider in light of the new evidence, only. The
reconsideration of the THC is not appealable.
If the EAC determines that a material procedural [or substantive] error occurred,
it may return the complaint to the THC with instructions to reconvene to cure
the error. In rare cases, where the procedural [or substantive] error cannot be
cured by the THC (as in cases of bias), the EAC may request a new hearing of the
complaint with a new body of hearing officers. The results of a reconvened
hearing cannot be appealed. The results of a new hearing can be appealed, once,
on the three applicable grounds for appeals.
If the EAC determines that the sanctions assigned are disproportionate to the
severity of the violation, EAC may then increase, decrease or otherwise modify
the sanctions. The decision of EAC is final.
151
I. Criminal Process
Victims of sexual assault, rape and/or date rape are encouraged to seek the
criminal prosecution of their assailants. The Campus Safety Office will assist
victims who choose to prosecute by transporting them to the Magistrate's Office
and providing information in support of the charges being preferred. In cases
when the victims wish to remain anonymous, they will be referred to the Sexual
Assault and Family Emergency Agency (S.A.F.E.). However, the university will
continue to investigate the report in compliance with Title IX.
The University views rape, date rape, and sexual assault as grievous violations of
the law of God and man, the Code of Honor and the Student Code of Conduct.
As such, these offenses will be addressed by the Executive Student Conduct
Committee. A student who is proven to have committed or been involved in the
commission of such an offense can expect to be suspended or expelled from the
University.
Should a student be raped or sexually assaulted on the campus or in the vicinity
of the school, the victim is urged to report the matter to Campus Safety without
delay and preserve all evidence of criminal action. As unpleasant as it may be,
the victim should not wash, shower, or change clothes. To a large extent, the
victim is the evidence of the crime. The longer the delay between the incident
and the time it is reported, the less likely it is that the criminal prosecution will
be successful. It should also be noted that state laws dealing with victim
compensation and aid limit eligibility for benefits to cases of rape and sexual
assault reported within five (5) days.
By contacting the Harnett County Sheriff’s Deputy at the Campus Safety office,
Campus Safety will arrange for proper care and assistance to be provided and for
a victim's advocate to be appointed, if the student wishes. Furthermore, the
members of the Campus Safety Office pledge that:
1. They will meet with the victim privately, at a place of the victim's choice in
the local area, to take a complaint report.
2. They will not release the victim's name to the public or to the press.
3. Their officers will not prejudge or blame the victim for what has occurred.
4. They will treat the victim and the particular case with courtesy, sensitivity,
dignity, understanding and professionalism.
5. If the victim feels more comfortable talking with a female rather than a
male officer, they will do their best to accommodate the victim's request.
6. They will assist the victim in arranging for any hospital treatment or
medical needs.
7. They will assist the victim in privately contacting counseling services and
other available resources.
152
8. They will fully investigate the victim's case and will help the victim achieve
the best outcome. This may involve the arrest and full prosecution of the
suspect responsible. The victim will be kept up-to-date on the progress of
the investigation and/or prosecution.
9. They will continue to be available to the victim to answer questions,
explain the systems and processes involved, and be willing listeners.
10. They will consider the victim's case seriously, regardless of the victim's
gender.
The investigation into the rape or sexual assault will be handled by the Harnett
County Sheriff's Office.
Refer to the NC General Statute § 143B-480.2. regarding victim assistance.
The University will assist victims of rape and/or sexual assault in coping with the
after-effects of their experience. Referrals for counseling are made by the
Campus Minister, Counseling Services, Student Success, and CU Health Center.
Counseling is also available through some faculty members in the School of
Education and by the Lee-Harnett County Mental Health Center, which is located
just a short distance off campus. The services of the Harnett County Sexual
Assault and Family Emergency (S.A.F.E.) Agency are also available to students.
Campbell both supports and is a member of the S.A.F.E. organization.
The University is prepared to accommodate reasonable requests for academic
schedule and housing changes by victims of rape and sexual assault. Such
requests should be directed to the Student Life Office. It should be kept in mind
that Campbell is a relatively small school. Therefore, it may not be possible to
completely avoid unpleasant encounters.
