Student health care is provided by University Medical Services

services are available to students right on campus. The services of
UMS include physician visits and nursing appointments, physicals
for athletics and ministry participation, academic physicals,
laboratory services, allergy injection services, immunizations,
and travel immunization services. UMS also works closely with

Housing
Residence hall living is an integral part of the educational
process at Cedarville. All single students under 23 years of
age, except those commuting from the home of their parents or
legal guardian, are required to live in University residence halls.
Students 25 years of age and older must secure off-campus
housing.
Approximately 80 percent of the student body lives on campus
in University housing. Men and women are housed in separate
residence halls. All offer convenient laundry and lounge areas and
house just two students per room. Each room is fully furnished.
Phone jacks are not provided, so students who want phone
service must provide their own cell phone. The residence halls
have free wireless access.
Students select their room and roommate through an online
housing system. Continuing students who are registered for the
following semester are given priority. New students who have
submitted their reservation deposit are granted access to the
system after continuing students have made their selections.
Complete information concerning residence hall staffing,
furnishings, and policies is found on the residence life website.
Married students may find housing at Cedar Park, a University-
owned apartment complex, or in one of many area apartments.
Graduate and upperclass students can apply in groups of six
to live in University-owned, townhouse-style apartments. These
three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments are furnished and
include a washer/dryer and kitchen. In addition, wireless access
and DirecTV service are provided.
New Student Orientation
“Getting Started” takes place at the start of each semester,
when new students are provided with opportunities designed to
facilitate adjustments to their new surroundings. The program
includes orientation for parents. Special interest sessions,
question and answer times, small group meetings, and social
activities provide opportunities to adjust to a new environment.
Placement testing may be required during orientation.
Vehicles
There are no restrictions on vehicle registration; however, for
academic reasons, freshmen are discouraged from bringing a
vehicle their first semester. Please understand that parking is
limited and upperclassmen are given priority. All vehicles parked
