Academic Information 43 Graduation All students must realize that it is their own responsibility to check on their progress toward meeting all requirements for graduation. They are urged to plan the class schedule for each quarter of the senior year at preregistration time at the end of the junior year. This plan should be approved by the faculty counselor and checked to see that when it is completed all degree require– ments will have been met. NOTE: The catalog in use when a student first enrolls governs his graduation requirements. Consequently, that catalog should be retained and used as a guide in case changes are made in the course or graduation requirements during the time the student is enrolled. Students who cannot finish their program before the end of the spring quarter in their senior year, but who can finish during the following summer, will be granted their diplomas in August. These students may participate in the June commencement pre– ceding the summer in which their work is to be completed. A$ I00 refundable deposit is required. Academic Advising Each student is assigned to an academic counselor according to his major field of study. A student who has not declared a major will be assigned to a special advisor equipped to offer assistance in selecting a field of study. The student should consult with his advisor not only at registration but also throughout the year whenever he encounters an academic problem or is formulating plans for changes of educational programs or procedures. A stu– dent with low grades in a major or minor field may be advised to select another field of study. Course work to be completed at other institutions by a student enrolled at Cedarville College must be approved by his/her academic advisor and the chairman of the academic department governing the course requirement that the transferred course is to satisfy. Course approval forms are available in the Academic Records Office.
