1990-1991 Academic Catalog

Faculty members teach at Cedarville because they want to invest in the lives ofstudents. Program The grade designation "Credit/No Credit" may be assigned by faculty members in courses such as student teaching, laboratories, independent studies, electives, and one-hour courses in physical education and music. The opportunity to take elective courses on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis offers students the opportunity to develop background in new areas of study without threatening cumulative grade point averages. The following guidelines govern involvement in the program: 1. A student of any classification may choose to earn Credit/No Credit or a letter grade in one quarter hour non-major physical education courses. This choice may be made at the end of the quarter. 2. To earn credit, a student must maintain an average of "C" or better in the course. 3. A student must be at least a junior in classification (have earned at least 90 quarter hours) in order to take an elective course on a Credit/No Credit basis. An elective is a course which will not count toward the student's general education, major, minor, or cognate requirements. 4. A student may take just one elective course per term under the Credit/ No Credit designation. 5. The total number of courses (other than one-hour physical education courses) which may be taken under the Credit/No Credit designation is determined by the student's cumulative grade point average: 2.0-2.49 one course 2.5-2.99 two courses 3.0-3.49 four courses 3.5 and above six courses 6. A student taking an elective course who wishes to change from the Credit/No Credit designation to the regular grading designation must do so before the end of the fourth week of the quarter. 7. A student who wishes to change an elective course to the Credit/No Credit designation must do so before the end of the first full calendar week of the quarter.
