Non-Traditional Courses Auditing Florida students are not permitted to audit online courses. Independent Studies Students wishing to take an independent study must first get permission from the academic advisor as well as the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives. Only 6 credits of independent study may count toward graduation requirements. Petitions and Student Complaints Student complaints concerning any aspect of an undergraduate program or requests for exceptions to an academic regulation should first be discussed with the appropriate office, faculty member, dean, or department chair. If those discussions fail to resolve the complaint, a written request must be initiated by the student and must be submitted to the Vice President for Strategic Initiatives. Academic Information Course Sequence Students should take care to complete proficiency requirements, global awareness courses, and general education courses before they have completed 60 credits total. It is also important to check prerequisites of courses before registration to ensure a course is able to be taken. Schedule/Formats All major-specific courses will be taught on site at the Clearwater locaion in 8 or 16-week formats. Some general education will be taught online in eight-week terms — two sessions in the fall, two sessions in the spring, and one session in the summer. Students can start their program during any session. There are some basic, foundational courses that will be 16-weeks in length. Online courses at Cedarville are individually designed to provide you with the best learning experience. As an online student, you will use a web-based learning management system called Canvas, which is also used by some in person courses. Online courses are asynchronous (no set meeting time). Your online course learning activities may include online videos, assigned readings, quizzes, exams, essays, group assignments or discussion board posts. Advising and Registration Each student is assigned an academic advisor to assist with course planning and academic progress. Students register for courses using the Student Planning tool, accessible through the myCU portal. Instructions will be available at the beginning of each registration period. Prior to registration, students should update their academic plan and complete the Financial Responsibility Agreement for that semester. The academic advisor will schedule a time to meet with the student to confirm correct progress in their program. Students will not be allowed to register for courses if there is an outstanding balance on their account. Course Load Students are considered full time if they are enrolled in 12 credits for the semester. Those credits can be equally divided into 6 credits per session, or 3 credits in one session and 9 in another session. If a student is not working, it is not recommended to take more than 9 credits per session. If a student is working, it is not recommended to take more than 3–6 credits per session. A student is considered present in a course when they complete any academic activity for that course. Course Attendance Attendance for major-specific courses will be determined by a student's physical presence during a given class period and participation, as defined by the instructor. Attendance for online courses is determined by submission of an academic assignment such as an examination, written paper or project, discussion board post, or another similar academic event. 2026–27 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 225 Cedarville University in Florida Academic Information
