1993-1994 Academic Catalog

Early ACl:m1!,Si(]m Students who have completed their junior year of high school may apply for early admission. This is especially important for students who anticipate a lengthy graduate program after graduation from col– lege. In addition to following normal application procedures, early admission applicants should submit superior academic records, strong recommendations from high school teachers, and a statement of approval from parents or guardians. An interview is also suggested. A student should complete the following steps in order to be considered for admission to Cedarville College: 1. Obtain, complete, and return an application for admission. Applications are available from, and should be returned to, the Admissions Office. Necessary recommendation forms are included in the application. A $20 fee and two current photographs should accom– pany the returned application. 2. Take the American College Test (ACT) or SAT and have the score reports sent to Cedarville College. The application for admission may be submitted before taking this test. 3. Request that high school transcripts through the junior year be sent, along with a recommendation from the high school counselor. Class rank at the end of the junior year should be included. 4. Request a recommendation from the pastor of the church he or she attends. 5. Request that official copies of transcripts for work completed at other colleges be sent (transfer students). Students who have been offered admission for a particular quarter may defer their enrollment to a subsequent quarter by notifying the Admissions Office in writing at least one month before the quarter begins. The Yellow Jacket, a popular sight at home basketball games, also makes an appearance at the annual Homecoming Parade each fall. Students find faculty members to be approachable and willing to help with academic problems. The College offers a supplemental academic assis– tance program to serve students whose academic backgrounds do not reflect their collegiate academic potentials. Components of this program include an orientation course entitled Transitions 100, special advising, tutoring when necessary and diagnostic testing, in some cases. Admission to the Academic Development Program is determined by the Admissions Committee. Students selected to be involved in the Program usually take a typical freshman course of study comprised of general education requirements. Students who complete the program find that this assistance during the first year of college helps them lay an excellent foundation for academic success in the future. A complete description of the Program is available from the Admissions Office. A student whose academic work has been interrupted for one quarter or more must apply for readmission two months before the beginning of the quarter in which he desires to matriculate. Readmission forms are available from the Admissions Office. If college level work has been completed elsewhere, official transcripts should accompany the application for readmission. A student who has been readmitted after one year away from Cedarville College is expected to complete the graduation requirements as outlined in the catalog in current use at the time of reenrollment. Cedarville College follows a rolling admissions procedure. An application is processed as soon as the file is complete. A completed file includes an applica– tion for admission, $20 application fee, ACT or SAT scores, high school transcript, college transcript (if applicable), high school counselor's recommendation, and pastor's recommendation. Applicants are notified by letter within two weeks after the Admissions Com– mittee acts upon the completed file.
