Student Life Programs

Student Life Programs provides cocurricular activities,

events, programs, and involvement opportunities with the goal

of developing lifelong leaders who influence and love others

and pursue excellence in all areas of life. We are committed to

providing exceptional programs, services, and opportunities that

are distinctively Christ-centered.

Leadership Opportunities

Student Life Programs provides opportunities for students to

serve as leaders as well as providing leadership development

opportunities. CU LEAD is a holistic leadership development

program committed to assisting Cedarville University students in

not only understanding but establishing and developing a biblical

foundation for service-based leadership. CU LEAD is designed to

enhance the leadership ability of students by providing them with

a lens to view leadership and leadership opportunities. The core

of the CU LEAD program is the foundation of leadership, which is

defined by the following:

• Stewardship – We recognize that all of our gifts, abilities, and

talents are given to us from God, and we are responsible to

use them for His glory in the service of others. (1 Pet. 4:10)

• Influence – We recognize that true leadership is influence. We

all have influence and it is our privilege and responsibility to

influence others. We must lead like Jesus who did not have

a position in society but radically changed the world for the

Kingdom of God through his influence.

• Service – We recognize that true leadership is not a position

of honor or power but one of humility and service. (Heb. 13)

Degree Program Admission

Admission to Cedarville University graduate degree programs is

the judgment of the academic school for which admission is being

the student’s potential to complete a particular program. Some

graduate programs may require a personal interview for admission

when beneficial, for nonacademic matters. For specific information

respective program director. For specific information on each

nondegree or certificate program’s criteria for admission and

application process, please refer to the respective program’s

section of this catalog and/or the graduate programs admission

website.

Graduate Admission Decisions

Unconditional Admission

Graduate applicants meeting all stated requirements for a

particular graduate program and approved by the program

school are granted unconditional degree-seeking admission.

Unconditional admission allows students to matriculate and

pursue a degree program plan without any restrictions. Students

with this type of admission are eligible for University and federal

financial aid.

Conditional Admission

Graduate applicants who evidence insufficient preparation in

their intended graduate program, or who lack certain supporting

documentation required for unconditional admission, may be

granted conditional degree-seeking admission by the program

school. Conditionally admitted students must meet the stipulations

set forth at the time of admission to achieve unconditional

admission status. Conditions of admission will be communicated

to the student by letter and the academic advisor. Degree seeking

students are eligible for University and federal student aid.

Students are permitted to take a predetermined number of

credits on a conditionally admitted basis. Each graduate program

committee may determine the number of credits depending on

program requirements. Once students meet all the conditions of

admission and are admitted to an unconditional status, they may

pursue a degree program plan without any further restrictions.
