20 Spiritual Emphasis The College desires for each student to grow in his or her relationship with Christ. Consequently, students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for private devotions. Daily chapel services provide spiritual encour– agement and enrichment. Additionally, all students are required to attend church services regularly. Opportuni– ties for worship include the Cedarville College Fellow– ship, which meets in the College chapel, as well as numerous fundamental churches within easy driving distance of Cedarville. Spiritual growth is further encouraged through student prayer groups which meet regularly to pray for special needs. One day in Fall Quarter and one day in Spring Quarter is set aside as a "Day of Prayer," a time when the entire college family gathers to pray together. All kinds ofsocials during the year provide breaks from studies and good times with classmates. Student Government Association The Student Government Association (SGA) is the representative assembly of the student body. SGA includes officers elected annually by the student body, two representatives from each class, and representatives from each residence hall and student organization. The purpose of SGA is to assist in providing a well-rounded program of extracurricular activities, to help establish and maintain an efficient and harmonious school atmo– sphere, and to recommend to the proper authorities or to take action deemed necessary for the welfare of the student as an individual or for the student body as a whole. Election to SGA provides an opportunity to develop and exercise leadership in student affairs. SGA is responsible for such fund-raising projects as the student body project. SGA is also responsible for chapel services each Friday. Vehicles Freshmen with grade point averages of 2.50 or higher may bring motor vehicles to the College after their first quarter. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors must maintain a 2.00 cumulative grade point average to retain the privilege of having a motor vehicle at the College.
