1 Cedarville College Student Life The college program is designed to provide opportunities for students to develop balanced lives. The fundamental Biblical position establishes a conservative pat– tern for all activities and conduct. Students gain excellent practical experience in Christian service as they participate in musical groups; teach Sunday School classes; conduct hospital, mission, and jail services; teach Bible clubs; and serve on gospel teams. Involvement in the social and cultural experiences at Cedarville contributes to personal development and also provides outlets from the demands and pressures of college. Participation in one or more of the many campus student groups provides addi– tional opportunities for enrichment. Some of these groups sponsor banquets, con– certs, and other forms of cultural enjoyment. Our scenic 180-acre campus pro– vides students with ample room to relax, study and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian young people. Standards of Conduct Before any student is enrolled at Cedarville College, he must sign a statement signifying his willingness to adhere to the standards and regulations of the college. Students who do not cooperate in maintaining the standards of conduct estab– lished by the college may be requested to withdraw.

Among these are the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, the non-medical use of drugs, the use of cards which are employed in gambling, dancing, attendance at movie theaters, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, and the wearing of extreme fashions. Students are expected to abstain from the practice and/or pro– motion of those temporary Apostolic gifts usually associated with the charismatic movement. Students will also be expected to exercise discernment regarding their choice of music. Rules regarding these will be strictly enforced. Students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for private devotions. Regular attendance at student prayer meetings aids the student in maintaining a healthful spiritual life. All students are required to attend church services regularly. Chapel The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend. Faculty members, visiting pas– tors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work are stressed.
