1993-1994 Academic Catalog

Cedarville College welcomes applications for admis– sion from students of all nations. The College was approved for attendance by nonimmigrants by the Immigration and Naturalization Service in 1959. International students should follow the college admis– sions procedure carefully, submitting their applications well in advance of deadlines so that sufficient time is available for processing and communication. Those coming from countries in which English is not the native language may need to demonstrate their profi– ciency in English by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language Examination (TOEFL). Canadian students who have attended Grade XIII may transfer credit to Cedarville by submitting official transcripts. Up to one full year of credit may be granted. To satisfy United States Immigration and Naturaliza– tion requirements, upon acceptance international students must deposit at the College $12,000 in United States currency or submit a certified affidavit of support which de.monstrates the ability to cover col– lege-related expenses. Full admission to the College is granted upon receipt of these funds or affidavit. Ques– tions concerning this procedure should be directed to the director of admissions. Grants and scholarships for international students are limited. Some international students work on campus. Permission for off-campus employment must be se– cured from the International Student Advisor. Cedarville 's reputation for quality attracts students from all over the world. Elder Seabra, a junior computer information sustems major, is from Portugal. A native of Hawaii, Kelli Costales began her college career at a college in California then transferred to take advantage of Cedarville 's well-known nursing program. Students who wish to transfer to Cedarville should submit, along with their applications for admission, official transcripts of credit from all colleges attended. Credits from accredited colleges are fully transferable as long as they apply to the student's course of study at Cedarville. Courses in which less than a "C" is earned are not granted transfer credit. Information concerning the transfer of credits is available from the Admissions Office upon receipt of official transcripts. Specific course equivalencies may be determined by the coordinator of transfer services' office upon receipt of official transcripts. When computing cumulative grade point averages for students who have transferred credits from other colleges, only the work completed at Cedarville is included. To help in the transition to Cedarville College and to meet other new transfer students, all transfer students are required to attend New Student Orientation.
