Student Life The college program is designed to contribute to the development of the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical maturity of students. Student life involves each of these areas and is considered an integral pai1 of the col– lege learning experience. Cedarville College's commitment to the Bible as the final authority for faith and practice extends into every area of student life and leads to a conservative pattern of conduct. A variety of educational, social, cultural, recreational, and Christian serv– ice opportunities are available to Cedarville College students. Such out-of– class activities contribute to personal development and enrichment and also provide outlets from the demands and pressures of academic life. A full range of student se1vices, including campus activities, career planning, counseling, placement, financial aid, health, and housing, exist to assist students in the life-long process of personal development. Standards of Conduct Standai·ds and regulations are necessaiy for the achievement of institu– tional goals and for successful community living. The standards of conduct maintained by the Cedaiville College family have been carefully selected and are sensitively implemented to contribute to the personal development of each student. As part of the application process and before registering for classes, students sign a statement signifying their willingness to adhere to the stan– dards of conduct and regulations of the College. These standards apply to student conduct while at home or in other off-campus situations.
