1972-1973 Academic Catalog

40 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE CORRESPONDENCE STUDY Although correspondence study seldom can replace the experiences gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, it is recognized that occasional utilization of correspondence study is necessary. The total number of quarter hours of correspondence study accepted toward completion of degree requirements shall not exceed fifteen. In order for correspondence study to be acceptable, prior permission must have been received for each course from the instructor of the course involved, the academic counselor, and the Registrar. Correspondence study is not counted as residence credit, and therefore can not be counted toward the residence requirements. Permission forms are available in the Registrar's office. Credits received for correspondence study are treated in the same manner as transfer credits. STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM OF CHRISTIAN COLLEGES ( SAPOCC) Students planning intensified study in languages are encouraged to partici– pate in the SAPOCC program sponsored by King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York. Three different programs are offered in France, England, Germany and Spain. Cedarville cooperates in this program with other Christian col– leges. SAPOCC is a unique experience for Christian young people because it provides them with Christian living, fellowship, and Christian service opportunities in the foreign country as well as an excellent academic program. TESTING OUT PROCEDURE Qualified students are allowed to earn credit hours toward graduation by passing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. Students interested in testing out must have division chairman approval. Tests can be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of classes. The student will be granted hourly credit but will not be given a grade on the transcript. Students may not test out of a course they have audited and are not able to test out of more than twenty-seven quarter hours. A $10 test fee must be paid in advance. This amount will be applied to the $1 S .00 per hour fee if the student successfully passes the examination. 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.
