1990-1991 Academic Catalog

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 part 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 services, 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 and regulations are necessary for the achievement of institu– tional goals and for successful community living. The standards of conduct maintained by the Cedarville 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. Students are to abstain from participation in dancing, the use of playing cards, attendance at movie theatres, and membership in secret societies. Students are expected to exercise discretion regarding their choices of mu– sic. Profane, obscene, suggestive, or sacrilegious language and pornographic, obscene material of any kind are not appropriate for Christians in any setting. Students who do not cooperate in maintaining the standards of conduct of Cedarville College may be dismissed.
