A Note from Registrar Services
Resources
Below you will find FAQs regarding starting with us in the fall:
Do you allow deferrals?
Yes. If you would like to defer your acceptance until the next academic year, we can do so. Understand that any scholarships awarded are not eligible for deferral, but once you let us know of your intent to enroll by February 2027, we will reevaluate your file for scholarship consideration. If you wish to defer, please contact us directly at lawadmissions@campbell.edu to request.
Do I need to pay my seat deposit to defer?
No. We strongly encourage you to, but it is not required.
My school has moved to pass/fail grades. Will this impact my admission?
No, not unless there are extreme circumstances. We understand that universities are handling grading in all different manners and we also understand that there may be other stressors impacting your performance. Should you receive all failing grades, then we may need to reevaluate your admission, but otherwise, pass/fail grades will not impact your admission.
I intended on taking the LSAT-Flex to improve my score for scholarship purposes. Can I still do this?
Absolutely! You can still do so to raise your score and scholarship eligibility.
What about financial aid? How can I get an idea about financial aid coverage?
If you would like an idea of what your financial aid package will look like, please contact Associate Director of Financial Aid Lisa Clark at clarkl@campbell.edu. While we don’t have exact numbers just yet, we can create an estimated package for you.
I’m committed to Campbell, but now how do I find housing if I’m not familiar with Raleigh?
We encourage you to join our Campbell Law Student Housing Facebook Group. You can also use your class GroupMe page once it is set up. If you’ve narrowed it down to a couple of places but have questions, post those in the housing group, because other students have had the same questions or have the experience to answer them. Finally, you can also always reach out to the Admissions team!
What about parking? What is that like for students?
As downtown continues to grow, parking continues to become more limited. We are committed to making sure that our students can park. We do not require purchasing parking, so if you live close enough to Campbell Law, there is no need. Our designated parking areas are within walking distance of the law school.

Parking and Locker Information
We will have locker assignments and keys for pick up during Orientation in the Pope Foyer. After registering for parking, you will be issued a Campbell Law parking sticker and assigned a lot or deck to park in for the year.
Powerhouse Deck – 513 West Jones Street (at corner of Jones and West Streets): Available Monday through Friday, from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm. Access entrance closest to railroad track and proceed to the top of the deck. Campbell is allotted spaces on the top two levels. Park in spaces that you can see sky above your car, either on the top deck or along the ramp leading to the top deck. When that level is full drop down to the level immediately below. Parking in other locations in the deck will result in a ticket or booting.
Starting each day Monday through Friday at 3:45 p.m. and all day Saturday and Sunday, you will be allowed to park in the garage below the Law School building (entrance off Morgan Street).

Accepting Your Loans
You will be notified by the University’s Office of Financial Aid once your loans are awarded and ready to be accepted. This notification will be delivered via your Campbell University email. You may view a checklist of loan requirements on WebAdvisor.
E-Refunds
All refunds for the Fall semester for everyone will be processed through TouchNet; therefore, you will need to sign up for e-refunds via the TouchNet portal. Please have this completed by August 1st . The e-refund set up guide will walk you through the process step by step.
Financial Aid Disbursements
The Bursar’s Office generally processes financial aid refunds during the last week of August. After refunds are processed, it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the funds to reach your bank account. Incorrect banking information entered into the portal will delay the process, so it is imperative that you enter all account information accurately.
