1983-1984 Academic Catalog

Cedarville College invites applications by secondary school graduates who are able to present strong academic records and a clear testimony of faith in Jesus Christ. In selecting students, the Admissions Committee carefully considers all factors which demonstrate the applicant's ability to succeed at Cedarville Col– lege. Criteria for selection include: 1. Evidence of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a consistent, Christian lifestyle. 2. Academic record and rank in class. 3. Test scores from the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Transfer students and applicants who have been out of high school one year or more are not required to furnish these test scores. The college does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin. Rights and Act Cedarville College complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (the Buckley Amendment), which is de– signed to protect the privacy of educational records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. The college has adopted a policy which explains in detail the procedures followed for compliance with provisions of the Act. Copies of the policy are available in the Academic Records and Student Personnel Of– fices.

This is especially important for stu– dents who anticipate a lengthy graduate program after graduation from college. In addition to following normal application proce– dures, early admission applicants should submit superior academic records, strong recommendations from high school teachers, and a statement of approval from parents or guardians. An interview is also suggested. Admissions Procedure A student must complete the following steps in order to be con– sidered for admission to Cedarville College: 1.
