1964-1965 Academic Catalog

ACADEMIC INFORMATION Cedarville College ACADEMIC LOAD A total of 128 semester hours is required for graduation. Students should carry an average of sixteen hours each semester if they wish to graduate following the eighth semester. Sixteen hours each semester is considered the normal academic load, although the student is al– lowed to take eighteen hours without special permission from the Dean of the College. Students working more than 24 hours per week are not advised to carry the full course of studies. The student's academic load is subject to reduction or limitation by the Dean of the College for low scholarship or excessive work out– side of school hours. CLASS ATTENDANCE Regular attendance in classes is necessary for the student to re– ceive the full benefit of his college experience. The Student Council and the administration have cooperatively determined regulations gov– erning class attendance. This policy is in the Student Handbook. Students with at least a 3.5 G.P.A. the previous semester are granted unlimited cuts. HONORS AND AWARDS The Dean's Honor List.
