Adventure in Learning 13 Study Abroad Program of Christian Colleges (SAPOCC) Students planning intensified study in languages are encouraged to participate in the SAPOCC program sponsored by King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York. Three different programs are offered in France, England, Germany and Spain. Cedar– ville cooperates in this program with other Christian colleges. 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. American Institute of Holy Land Studies: Excellent opportunities are available to students who may desire a special educa– tional experience in Israel during the summer months. Information may be obtained from the chairman of the Biblical Education Department. Credits received are applicable to the student's academic program at Cedarville. Correspondence Study Although correspondence study seldom can replace the experiences gained through the actual classroom instruction and discussion, it is recognized that oc– casional utilization of correspondence study is necessary. The total number of quarter hours of correspondence study accepted toward com– pletion 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 trans– fer credits. Business and Technical Those students enrolled in college level business and technical courses in com– munity 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 Credit-No CrediUFail may be assigned by faculty members in such courses as student teaching, laboratories and independent studies. The opportunity to take elective courses on a "Credit or No Credit" (CR or NC) basis offers students the occasion to develop background in new areas of study with– out 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.
