Additional Academic Awards
Two prestigious awards are given to selected graduates each
year during commencement. These awards are listed below:
The Faculty Scholarship Trophy
This award is given to graduating senior(s) with a cumulative
grade point average of 4.0. Eligibility must include 90 semester
hours taken at Cedarville University completed within six regular
semesters.
The President’s Trophy
This award is given to a graduating senior on the basis of
scholastic ability, character, leadership, and sportsmanship.
Withdrawing From the University
Proper withdrawal from the University begins in the Office of
the Registrar, where the student completes an official withdrawal
form. Refund requests should be submitted to the Cashiers Office
after the official withdraw process has been completed, and all
appropriate adjustments to the student’s registration has been
completed. A student’s ID card and residence hall key must be
returned to the Office of the Registrar on the last day the student
is on campus. No student should leave Cedarville University
without completing proper withdrawal through the Office of the
Registrar.
Student transcripts will be marked with the appropriate grade
once withdrawal is complete in accordance with the established
University policy. (See Adding and Withdrawing From a Course.)
Withdrawal for Military Reasons
Students serving in reserve units of the armed forces may be
called up to active duty during an academic term. Students who
withdraw up to the end of the fourth week of the semester will
receive refunds according to the following schedule:
Tuition: 100 percent
Room: prorated on a per diem basis
Board: prorated on a per diem basis
Fees: 0
Students who withdraw after the fourth week of the semester
may file a request for “permanent incomplete.” This classification
provides students the opportunity to complete the coursework
upon returning to the University without having to pay tuition again.
Forms may be picked up in the Office of the Registrar.
Approval for the awarding and removal of the entry “permanent
incomplete” resides with the Vice President for Academics.
Refunds for room, board, and fees will be disbursed according to
the previously mentioned schedule.
To initiate the withdrawal procedure, students are to bring a
copy of their orders to the Office of the Registrar and obtain the
appropriate forms. Withdrawals will be processed according to the
standard procedures listed in the University catalog.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Cedarville University complies with the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (the Buckley Amendment), which is
designed to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish
the right of students to inspect and review their records, and to
provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading
data through informal and formal hearings. The University has
adopted a policy that explains in detail the procedures followed
for compliance with provisions of the act. Copies of the policy are
available in the Office of the Registrar and Student Life.
