Guaranteed Admission to
Campbell University

MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (April 29, 2026) — Carteret Community College is proud to announce a new Assured Admission Agreement with Campbell University, creating a clear and supportive pathway for students to continue their education and earn a bachelor’s degree.

The agreement, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding, establishes the Campbell Assured Admission Program, which guarantees eligible Carteret students admission to Campbell University upon completion of an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree.

A signing ceremony will take place at 2:00 p.m. on May 4, 2026, in Joslyn Hall on Carteret’s campus. The event will celebrate the partnership and highlight expanded opportunities for students in Carteret County and beyond.

Leaders from both institutions will be in attendance, including Campbell University President Dr. William M. Downs, along with senior academic and enrollment leadership. Carteret faculty, staff, and community members, especially Campbell alumni, are encouraged to attend and show their support.

“This agreement strengthens our commitment to student success by providing a seamless transition from Carteret to a respected four-year institution,” said Dr. Tracy Mancini, President of Carteret Community College. “We are excited to partner with Campbell University to expand access to high-quality educational opportunities for our students.”

Through the program, Carteret students enrolled in Associate in Arts or Associate in Science programs who meet established requirements, including maintaining good academic standing and completing the application process, will benefit from early access to admissions, financial aid information, and transition support services at Campbell University.

The partnership builds on North Carolina’s existing articulation agreements and reflects a shared commitment to strengthening workforce development and expanding educational attainment across the state.

In addition to assured admission, participating students will have opportunities to connect with Campbell faculty and staff, explore academic programs, and engage with university resources prior to transfer, helping ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Community members with ties to Campbell University are invited to attend the signing event and celebrate this milestone partnership.
