Student Services

“This whole program has exceeded my expectations. It is so easy to have communication with anyone you need to from the college, for example, you can have a Zoom meeting or a phone call. It is so easy to use your financial aid to buy books which I was really nervous about doing, but Campbellsville has partnered up with Barnes & Noble, and all you have to do is type in the class and the book you need comes up. I was also scared of how I would keep up with due dates, but every class has had a detailed due date section and I appreciate that!”
