1979-1980 Academic Catalog

1 Cedarville College 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 completion of degree requirements shall not exceed fifteen. In order for corre– spondence 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. 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 Credit/Fail may be assigned by faculty members in such courses as student teaching, laboratories, independent studies, and one hour courses in physical education and music. 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 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 relation to his grade point average, as follows: 2.0 - 2.49 - one course 3.0 - 3.49 - four courses 2.5- 2.99- two 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. 6. The student may not change a regularly scheduled class to credit or no credit after the first full calendar week of the quarter. Testing Out Procedure Qualified students are allowed to earn credit hours toward graduation by pass– ing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. Students interested in testing out must have department chairman approval. Tests can be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of classes. The student
