ACADEMIC INFORMATION 35 English Composition, and Social Science would give the student nurse, with such experience, a definite advantage. Those who complete the nurses training program before attending Cedarville would have the advantage of employment opportunities as relief nurses in area hospitals. The degree granted under this program is not to be confused with the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree which is a professional degree fre– quently required for those working in hospital supervision and professional nursing education. The Cedarville program includes, primarily, those courses which are typical of liberal arts degrees. BUSINESS AND TECHNICAL Those students enrolled in college level business and technical courses in community colleges may wish to have such credits evaluated toward the bachelor's degree. A letter of request and an official transcript of credits will be needed for the Registrar to evaluate the acceptable credits. In some cases a substantial block of credits may be accepted from such schools. CREDIT OR NO CREDIT PROGRAM One of the objectives of the liberal arts college is to encourage students to broaden their educational backgrounds. Students often are hesitant to study in areas in which they have had little previous experience. The opportunity to take elective courses on a "Credit or No Credit" basis offers students the occasion to develop background in new areas of study without threatening cumulative grade point averages. The following rules govern the program: 1. Juniors and seniors shall be allowed to take elective courses on a credit or no credit basis. No more than one course may be taken in any one term. 2. Electives shall be those courses which will not count toward either general education, major, minors, or cognates. 3. In order to receive credit the student must maintain at least a "C'' average in the course. 4. The maximum number of courses allowed per student shall be in re- lation to his grade point average, as follows: 2.0-2 .49--one course 2.5-2 .99-two courses 3.0-3.49-four courses 3 .5 and above-six courses 5. Following the end of the fourth week of the quarter, the student may not change a course from the credit or no credit system to the regular program.
