This experience also providedmany contactsforfuture job opportunities."" Don Humphreys. a 1989 English-professional writing graduatefrom Howard, Pennsylvania, worked as a technical writing internfor SheffieldMeasurement Division in Dayton, Ohio, and now serves as information developerfor IBM in Atlanta, Georgia. Internships Many of the major fields of study include opportunities to receive credit for supervised, on-the-job activities. Interested students should contact re– spective department chairmen for details. Correspondence Study Although correspondence study cannot replace the experience gained through actual classroom instruction and discussion, occasional utilization of correspondence study may be appropriate. Cedarville College does not offer such courses. However, the College recognizes and recommends sev– eral programs. Information concerning these programs is available in the Academic Records Office. The total number of quarter hours of correspondence study accepted toward completion of degree requirements may not exceed fifteen. In order for correspondence study to be acceptable, prior permission must have been received for each course from the department chairman, the academic advi– sor, and the registrar. Correspondence study is not counted as residence credit, and therefore cannot be counted toward the residence requirements. Permission forms are available in the Academic Records Office. Credits received for correspondence study are treated in the same manner as transfer credits. Testing Out Procedure Qualified students may earn credit toward graduation by passing the appropriate examinations with a grade of "B" or better. A student interested in testing out should obtain a course test-out form from the Academic Records Office, obtain the approval of the chairman of the department in which the course is offered, and contact the instructor of the course to set up the test A student may not test out of a course previously audited. Tests must be taken during registration week or during the first two full calendar weeks of the quarter. Upon testing out of a course, a student must pay $54 per quarter hour for the course credit Credit for the course with a designation indicating "test– out" will appear on the student's transcript No grade will appear nor will the grade or credit be computed into the cumulative grade point average.
