1995-1996 Academic Catalog

To complete registration, the student must make financial arrangements for payment of the amount due on the Student Data Sheet. (See the financial section of the catalog for information concerning costs and payment plans.) Changes in the course schedule may be made through the "drop-adcl" process. Forms for course changes are available in the Academic R~cords Office. Changes in a schedule caused by the cancellation of courses will not involve financial penalty. Adding and Withdrawing from a Course To add or drop courses, a student must complete a form provided by the Academic Records Office. The form is to be signed by both the course instructor and the student's academic advisor. The student is required to make up any work missed due to late entrance. No courses may be added after the end of the first full calendar week without the approval of the academic vice president and faculty members teaching the courses. Failure to properly drop a class will result in a grade of "Z". When a course is dropped, the action is recorded as follows: Week Course Is Dropped: Before the end of the first calendar week Second full calendar week through fourth After the fourth week and before the week of final examinations Action: No record on transcript "W" (withdrawn) "WP" or "WP" (Withdrawn Passing or Withdrawn Fail– ing) Course changes are not complete until the Academic Records Office receives the completed drop/add form. The effective date of the course change is the date when the completed form is received by the Academic Records Office. Refund information is listed in the Financial Information section of the catalog. Auditing Auditing involves attending and participating in a course without earning credit. A course may be changed from credit to audit before the end of the first week of the quarter. Courses may be changed from audit to credit, with permission of the instructor, before the end of the first week of the quarter. A student may not test out of a course already audited. Academic Information 37 Withdrawb1gfrom College No student should leave Cedarville College without following proper withdrawal procedures. In withdrawing, a student must secure an official withdrawal form from the Academic Records Office and follow the procedures prescribed on the form. Refund requests should be submitted to the Business Office at least three days prior to withdrawing. The ID card must be returned to the Academic Records Office on the student's last day on campus. Transcripts of students who withdrew during an aca– demic term will be marked as follows: withdrawal through the fourth week-"W"; withdrawal after the fourth week (but before the week of final examinations)-"WP" or "WP". Continuing at the College The College assumes that a student will continue taking courses from quarter to quarter unless the student gradu– ates, is asked to leave for academic or disciplinary reasons, or withdraws voluntarily. To assist in planning each academic term, the College asks each student to "preregister" for the upcoming academic term. This secures courses for the student and enables the College to malce enrollment decisions for that term. A student who owes money to the College may not be permitted to register for future academic terms until the debt is satisfied. A student enrolled in spring quarter preregisters for fall quarter courses before the end of the spring quarter. To retain these course selections and confirm the intention to enroll in the fall quarter, each student must submit a reservation deposit of $250 by July 1. This deposit also reserves a place in college housing for single students under twenty-five years of age. This money is credited to the student's account and may be used to help cover fall quarter expenses. Should the student decide to withdraw from the College after July 1, but before September 1, all but $100 of this deposit is refundable. After September 1, none of the deposit is refundable. A student who does not submit the continuing student reservation deposit by July 1, or make other special arrangements with the Student Services Office concerning intentions to continue as a student in the fall quarter, will be considered withdrawn. Any student who withdraws voluntarily or is involuntarily withdrawn must apply and be approved for readmission to continue as a student at the College. Readmission forms and information are available from the Admissions Office.
