Admission to Academic Programs Some academic programs have unique requirements. For example, music students are required to audition for entry to that department and engineering candidates must meet a minimum test score requirement. Students in education and nursing apply for admission to their respective programs during their sophomore year after the program prerequisites have been satisfied. Therefore, students should review the specific entrance requirements which are outlined in the respective departmental sections of the catalog. Advanced Placement High school students may receive advanced collegiate standing by participating in either the Advanced Placement or College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Up to sixty credits may be earned through these programs or by other test-out procedures. To earn credit through Advanced Placement, students must enroll in specific Advanced Placement courses offered by their respective high schools. Upon completing these courses, students take individual Advanced Placement examinations in each Advanced Placement course. Students request that scores from these examinations be sent directly to Cedarville College by entering code number 1151 on their registration forms. Upon receiving these scores, the College determines the appropriate amount and type of credit for each examination. Scores of 3, 4, or 5 must be earned in order to receive college credit. No fees, other than the fees accompanying the examinations, must be paid in order to receive the college credit. In some cases, sophomore standing in particular subject areas may be earned through these examinations. Students should contact their local high schools to obtain Advanced Placement course and registration information. Students earn credit through CLEP by taking nationally standardized examinations in a variety of subject areas. These tests may be taken at local colleges before enrolling at Cedarville or at Cedarville after enrolling. To have CLEP scores sent directly to Cedarville College, students should enter code number 1151 on their CLEP registration forms. By earning scores above specified levels, students receive college credit in specific course areas. A complete list of the appropriate tests and respective Cedarville courses as well as registration information is available from the Admissions Office. Like Advanced Placement, no fee, other than those accompanying the examinations, must be paid in order to receive college credit through CLEP.
