Early College For information concerning The Cedarville Academy and Summer Studies see page 21 . International Students Cedarville University welcomes applications for admission from students of all nations. The University was approved for the acceptance of non-immigrant enrollment by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services in 1959. The University highly values the international students in the student body and has special programs to aid in their adjustment and development. International students should follow the University admissions procedures 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 proficiency in English by taking the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination and earning a paper-based score of 550 (or better) or an Internet-based score of 80 (or better). All international applicants are required to submit one of the following: TOEFL, ACT, or SAT scores. Cedarville’s institution code for the TOEFL / SAT is 1151 and for the ACT is 3245. To satisfy United States Citizenship and Immigration Services requirements, Cedarville University is required by law to verify the financial resources of each international applicant prior to issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 for F-1 visa applicants or Form DS-2019 for J-1 visa applicants). In addition to completing application for admission materials to Cedarville University, applicants must also submit the Affidavit of Financial Support form (with supporting documents). Prior to final enrollment, international students must deposit funds to cover one semester’s worth of expenses at the University in United States currency. University expenses include tuition, room, board, and variable costs. Questions concerning immigration issues should be directed to the international student advisor. International students may qualify for some academic institutional scholarships by submitting either SAT or ACT scores along with their transcripts. Campus employment is also available during the school year and summer. Reservation Deposit A reservation deposit must be submitted by new and re-admitted students as an indication of their intention to enroll. The amount of the deposit is $250. This money is credited to the student’s account and used to cover first semester expenses. A student must submit a reservation deposit to register for courses. The reservation deposit is fully refundable if the request for refund is received before the reservation deposit deadline. No refunds are available after the deposit deadline. All refund requests must be made in writing by the student.
