It is open to students only during the summer after completing their junior year. Currently students receive credit for the following Cedarville courses: ECON-3350, ECON-3360, MRKT-4620, and MGMT- 3570. Summer Terms The University offers two summer sessions on campus. Students can earn up to six credits in the three-week May Term that begins the week after graduation. A two-week session is held in June in which three credits can be completed. The summer sessions appeal to a variety of students. Some wish to accelerate their college program. Students from other institutions may desire Bible courses that are not available at their institutions. Teachers find the summer terms a convenient means by which to update themselves in their disciplines. Others enjoy the advantages of smaller summer classes. Incoming international students recognize summer attendance as an excellent opportunity to become acclimated to academic pursuits before campus activities begin in the fall. High school students who have completed their junior year and who display sufficient academic strength may enroll in the summer studies program. Eligible children of graduates of the University may qualify for the popular alumni children scholarship program that provides reduced-tuition credit. Continuing students interested in attending summer school should contact the summer school office. New students should contact the admissions office.

Early registration periods may be designated for currently enrolled students. During early registration, the University allows students to register for courses for the upcoming academic term. Students register for courses by academic classification and are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this early registration opportunity, rather than registering after the start of an academic term. Students who register early for a term but do not return the following semester must notify the office of the registrar of their change in status. The beautiful 400-acre campus of Cedarville University offers many quiet places to study.
