1981-1982 Academic Catalog

24 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 ap– plicant'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 Scholas– tic Aptitude Test (SAT). Some students whose high school re– cords are less than satisfactory may be admitted on condition. 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, sex, or national origin. Admissions Procedure: • Take the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Apti– tude Test (SAT) in either your junior or senior year. Have your scores sent to Cedarville College. • Write to the director of admissions for an application. • Complete and return the application, reference forms, and tran– scripts at the earliest opportunity, attaching a photograph and fee of $15. All application forms for the winter quarter must be submitted by December 1 and by March 1 for the spring quar– ter. Entrance Requirements The applicant should be a high school graduate with a total of fifteen required units, from grades nine through twelve, as fol– lows: English ... Mathematics History . Science . Electives 3 units 2 units . 1 unit . 1 unit 8 units Two units in one modern foreign language are strongly recom– mended. The Admissions Committee occasionally waives certain required units following written requests. (Skill in typing is of real value in completing many class assignments.) Students who have completed their junior year of high school may apply for early entrance. This is especially important for stu– dents who anticipate a lengthy graduate program after graduation from college. An interview for qualified students is suggested. 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 read– mission 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 ser– vice activities. If a student has been away from campus for more than one year, the Admissions Office will send the necessary forms to update the application file. If college level work has been completed else– where, a transcript of such credits should be requested by the stu– dent. A student who has been readmitted after one year away from Cedarville College is expected to complete the graduation re– quirements as outlined in the catalog in current use at the time of reenrollment. Admission Of Transfer Students A student who wishes to transfer to Cedarville should submit a transcript of all his credits to the director of admissions for evaluation of credits and determination of status. All transfer stu– dents are required to attend New Student Orientation. Transfer students in their freshman or sophomore year are ex– pected to complete the same number of Biblical Education courses as continuing students. Juniors and seniors must complete at least one Biblical Education course each quarter of full-time residence including Baptist History. I I I_
