1984-1985 Academic Catalog

Advanced Placement High school students may receive advanced collegiate standing by enrolling in college level courses during their senior year and scoring at least a 3, 4, or 5 on the Advanced Placement Examina– tion sponsored by the College Board. They may also earn credit by participating in the College Level Examination Program spon– sored by the College Board. Up to thirty quarter hours can be earned through these programs. Students interested in participat– ing in these programs should contact their high school counselors or the director of admissions for details. 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, an updated pastor's recommendation is required, in addition to the letter of request which states his educational goal, Christian commitment, and reports on the previous year's activities. If col– lege level work has been completed elsewhere, official transcripts should accompany the request for readmission. 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. Transfer Students Students who wish to transfer to Cedarville should submit, along with their applications for admission, official transcripts of credit from all colleges attended. Credits from accredited colleges are fully transferable as long as they apply to the student's course of study at Cedarville. Courses in which less than a "C" is earned are not granted transfer credit. The college desires to cooperate fully with transfers from Bible colleges and institutes, especially those transferring from schools which are members of the American Association of Bible Col– leges. The college also readily accepts credits from most business and community colleges. Many times students who have earned associate degrees are able to enter Cedarville as juniors. Specific transfer information is available from the director of admissions upon receipt of official transcripts. When computing cumulative grade point averages for students who have transferred credits from other colleges, only the work completed at Cedarville is included. All transfer students are required to attend New Student Orien– tation. Transfer students in their freshman or sophomore year are expected to complete the same number of Biblical Education course as continuing students. Juniors and seniors must complete at least one Biblical Education course each quarter of full-time re– sidence including 21-340 Baptist History.
