Adult Programs
Academic Information
Academic Information
All other undergraduate academic policies not specifically
addressed in this catalog including, but not limited to degree
and general education requirements, academic progress,
grading standards, and course registration and withdrawal apply
to undergraduate adult students. Those can be found in the
undergraduate academic catalog which is available online at
cedarville.edu/catalog
.
Undergraduate Adult students are eligible for academic honors
provided they meet the criteria listed in the applicable section of
the undergraduate catalog.
Academic Advising
When a student is accepted and submits their deposit to
an undergraduate adult program they are assigned a program
advisor through the office of online student success. That advisor
will continue the support previously provided by the admissions
counselor and will assist students through registration and the
remainder of their course of study at Cedarville.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Federal aid is available to students in adult programs who
meet established requirements and complete the required
forms. Because adult programs are significantly discounted from
standard undergraduate tuition rates, institutional scholarships are
not available. For more information visit
cedarville.edu/finaid
Registration Process
Registration dates for each session are listed in the annual
academic calendar. Early registration periods may be designated
for currently enrolled students. During early registration, the
University allows students to register for courses for the upcoming
academic term. Students register for courses by academic
classification and are strongly encouraged to take advantage of
this early registration opportunity, rather than registering after the
start of an academic term. Students who register early for a term
but do not return the following semester must notify the Office of
the Registrar of their change in status.
Registration information, including registration instructions and
course scheduled for the semester, is prepared by the Office of the
Registrar prior to each registration period. Information regarding
course offerings and sections is available on the University
website.
Prior to submitting a course registration, the student is
encouraged to consult with his/her academic advisor to discuss
course options and class schedules. Although each student
has an academic advisor to help with scheduling, the student is
responsible for the chosen class schedule, course of study, and
progress through the program.
Adult students may register online using a web-based interface
called WebAdvisor. The online registration process may be
completed from any computer through which the student has
Internet access. Registration instructions using WebAdvisor may
be found at
cedarville.edu/gradregisterinstructions
. After the
online registration process has been completed, the student’s
confirmed schedule becomes an active registration in the
administrative computer system.
To complete registration, students must make financial
arrangements for payment of the amount due. (See
