Continuation As an Active Student Graduate students who fail to take courses or otherwise choose not to pursue their graduate education (for example, as a transient student at another college/university) for a period exceeding two calendar years will automatically be retired from the active files of the office of the registrar. Reapplication for admission will be required to reactivate the student’s records. Withdrawal Policy The following procedure must be followed to properly withdraw completely from the University: 1. Notify the office of the registrar in person or by telephone of intent to withdraw, and complete a withdraw interview with a representative of the office of the registrar. 2. Request a refund for any credit balance on your account from the cashiers office after the official withdraw process has been completed, and all appropriate adjustments to the students registration has been completed. See Refund and Withdrawal in the Financial Information section of this catalog. Student transcripts will be marked with the appropriate grade once withdrawal is complete in accordance with established University policy. (See Drop/Add Policy.) Prior to submitting a course registration form, 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 their progress through the program. Completed course registration forms should be mailed, faxed, or brought to graduate admissions. Course selections are then checked against available openings, and a final course schedule is confirmed. To complete registration, students must make financial arrangements for payment of the amount due. (See Financial Registration Policy.) Classification of Students Graduate students are classified by the number of hours for whsich they are enrolled, as follows: • Full-time students are those who have met the requirements for admission as determined by the Graduate Admissions Committee, have been admitted to a degree program, and are carrying at least eight semester hours of credit in that academic semester. • Part-time studentsare those who have met the requirements for admission as determined by the Graduate Admissions Committee, have been admitted to a degree program, and are taking fewer than eight semester hours. • Non-degree seeking students are those who are taking graduate courses but have not yet been admitted to a specific degree program or do not intend to work toward a graduate degree. • Graduate students are also classified according to their relationship to formal programs, as follows: • Regular students have met all of the requirements for admission to the graduate program. • Conditionally accepted students have applied for admission to the graduate program at Cedarville University but must meet some prerequisite of his/her graduate program or must complete some part of the application process. • Transient students are enrolled and in good standing in a graduate degree program at another institution, has written authorization from the appropriate officials at that institution to take graduate courses at Cedarville University, meets all the registration requirements for the course (for example, prerequisites), and has been accepted for transient status by the Graduate Admissions Committee. Drop/Add Policy Changes in the course schedule made after the beginning of a course may be made through the drop/add process. Course drop/ add forms are available in the office of the registrar. The form must be signed by both the course instructor and the appointed representative of the graduate program. The effective date of the course change is the date the registrar receives the completed form. When adding a class, the student is required to make up any work missed because of late entrance, assuming that the instructor is willing to allow late entrance into his/her course. No courses may be added after the first class without the approval of the appointed representative of the particular graduate program and the approval of the faculty member teaching the course.
