1976-1977 Academic Catalog

Admission and Finances 23 Admission and finances The Admissions Committee carefully considers all factors which demonstrate the applicant's ability to succeed at Cedarville College. The Committee bases its choice on the following: 1) The applicant's evidence of having been born again and having lived a consistent Christian life as indicated by his personal testimony and pastor's recommendation: 2) his academic record and rank in class as shown by his official transcripts; 3) and his scholastic ability as shown by the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT); 4) some stu– dents whose high school records are less than satisfactory may be admitted on condition or through the Educational Development Program which is described under Special Programs of Study. Transfer students and applicants who have been out of high school one year or more are not required to furnish ACT or SAT scores. The college does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Admission Procedure 1. Write to the Director of Admissions, Cedarville College, for application and reference forms. 2. Have reference forms completed and sent in by appropriate persons. 3. Complete and return the application for admission at the earliest opportunity. All application forms for the winter quarter must be in the admission's office by December 1 and by March 1 for the spring quarter. 4. Request a transcript of credits and grades from the high school and/or college attended to be mailed to the Registrar. 5. Take the American College Test or the Scholastic Aptitude Test either in the junior or senior year. If possible, the ACT or SAT should be taken in the junior year so that the application may be submitted early in the senior year. Entrance Requirements The applicant should be a high school graduate with a total of fifteen required units, from grades nine through twelve, as follows: English ...................3 units Science ...................1 unit Mathematics ..............2 units Electives ..................8 units History ................... . 1 unit Two units in one modern foreign language are strongly recommended. The Regis– trar occasionally waives certain required units following written requests. (Skill in typing is of real value in completing many class assignments). Readmission A student whose academic work has been interrupted for one quarter or more must apply for readmission. If he has been out of Cedarville College less than one year, a letter of request for readmission is needed at least two months before the beginning of the quarter in which he desires to matriculate. This letter should state his educational goal and reaffirm his Christian commitment; it should also contain a brief summary of his current Christian service activities. If a student has been away from campus for more than one year the Admissions office will send the necessary forms to up-date the application file. If college level work has been completed elsewhere a transcript of such credits should be requested by the student.
