The History and Operation of Cedarville College

26 V.. PERSONNEL SERVICES a) Admissions. Cedarville accepts no candidates for degrees who have not graduated from an approved high-school which requires the customary sixteen Carnegie credits for a diploma. Occasionally a mature student who can profit from selective courses is admitted with the understanding that he will not be granted a diploma until the high– school deficiency is made up. The college has followed the policy of granting admission to students who have received certificates or diplomas granted by legitimate institutions on the basis of the general educational development tests. At the present time it has no intention of giving its own tests or examinations to determine the proficiency of non-highschool graduates. Furthermore, it is the policy of the Admissions Committee to refuse admission to any student who fails to meet the academic or other standards which the college has adopted. At the present time its pur– pose is to meet the needs of the supporting constituency, and for this reason the academic standards are closely comparable to those of the usual State supported institutions. The Admissions Committee consists of the Dean of the College, the Registrar and the Dean of Students, who carefully examine the creden– tials of all applicants. A con,siderable number of students are admitted on probation and every effort is made to enable such students to do acceptable work. If they do not measure up to the standards prescribed for them they are asked by the Admissions and Dismissals Committee to withdraw.
