Students can earn up to thirty quarter hours for IB Higher Level examinations on which they earn scores of 5, 6, or 7. A maximum of ten credits is permitted in any one group. To receive credit, students should submit IB transcripts to the Admissions Office. Transfer Students Students who wish to transfer to Cedarville should submit, along with their applications for admission, official transcripts of credit from all colleges attended. College-level credits earned at accredited colleges are usually transferable. Courses in which less than a "C" is earned are not granted transfer credit. Information concerning the transfer of credits is available from the Academic Assistance Center. Specific course equivalen– cies can be determined by the coordinator 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. Occasional winter snow storms bring out student creativity, leading to unforgettable fim and lifelong memories.

International Students Cedarville College welcomes applications for admission 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 admissions 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 demon– strate their proficiency in English by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language Examination (TOEFL). To satisfy United States Immigration and Naturalization requirements, upon acceptance international students must deposit at the College $14,500 in United States currency or submit a certified affidavit of support which demonstrates the ability to cover college-related expenses. Full admission to the College is granted upon receipt of these funds or affidavit. Questions concerning this procedure should be directed to the associate director of admissions. Grants and scholarships for international students are limited. Some international students work on campus. Permission for off-campus employment must be secured from the International Student Advisor.
