Campbell President Dr. William M Downs and Richmond Community College President Brent Barbee signed a partnership on Thursday, March 5, at Cole Auditorium on the college’s campus in Hamlet, near Rockingham. 

The Campbell Assured program simplifies the transfer process with early guidance on admissions and financial aid. It will provide Richmond students early support with access to advising, orientation and campus resources before transferring to Campbell.

“This program is about building relationships, and we know this will be a strong and vibrant relationship for many years to come,” Downs said in a press release. “This will not only be a win for each of our institutions, but ultimately, it is a win for our students and our respective regions. We want to recruit more and make more Fighting Camels from this part of the state.”

Students who participate in the Campbell Assured program will receive these benefits even before they graduate from Richmond CC: 

  • Access to Campbell’s library
  • An ID card and parking pass
  • Preliminary academic advising
  • An invitation to exclusive Campbell events
  • Access to Campbell’s Fitness & Wellness Center

Barbee said he is excited about the partnership and to see more Richmond and Scotland county residents earn four-year degrees from a respected private university like Campbell. 

“Campbell Assured will provide our students with a very supported pathway and ensure their success in their university studies,” Barbee said in a press release.

To qualify for the Campbell Assured program, Richmond Community  students must:

  • Submit a Request for Information form online.
  • Apply and be accepted to Campbell as a transfer student.
  • Maintain a “C” or better in their transfer courses.
  • Enroll at Campbell within one year of completing an associate degree at Richmond CC.
