Students may take advantage of workshops or individual appointments geared to assist them with resume writing, interviewing, networking, gaining admission to graduate school, or understanding the job search process. Career assessment surveys and individual coaching sessions are also available to help students determine majors and occupations. The Career Services homepage ( cedarville. edu/career ) links to the very latest in network-based job search programs (such as LinkedIn and Twitter), guides to major employers, and directories for graduate schools. Career fairs are held each year to provide an opportunity for prospective employers to meet with students. Potential employers also visit the University for individual on-campus recruiting days and interview sessions. Students may register for a free account with Jobs4Jackets , a job-match database that enables students and employers to connect for employment needs.

UMS is located adjacent to the Doden Field House and contracts with several local physicians and practitioners so that health care services are available to students right on campus. The services of UMS include physician visits and nursing appointments, physicals for athletics and ministry participation, academic physicals, laboratory services, allergy injection services, immunizations, and travel immunization services. UMS also works closely with area hospitals and specialists to coordinate referrals for students to specialty physicians and for other medical services such as radiology testing.

CUEMS responds primarily to emergencies on campus. Also, CUEMS provides mutual aid to the Cedarville Township and the surrounding community when needed. The students who are involved in the ministry volunteer their medical expertise to the Cedarville University family and strive to demonstrate Christ’s love and compassion to their fellow students in time of need. To learn more about the ministry of CUEMS, visit the following website: cedarville.edu/ums . For information about how you can become an EMT, see page 20. Housing Residence hall living is an integral part of the educational process at Cedarville. All single students under 23 years of age, except those commuting from the home of their parents or legal guardian, are required to live in University residence halls. Students 25 years of age and older must secure off-campus housing. Approximately 80 percent of the student body lives on campus in University housing. Men and women are housed in separate residence halls. All offer convenient laundry and lounge areas and house just two students per room. Each room is fully furnished. Phone jacks are not provided, so students who want phone service must provide their own cell phone. Every residence hall room is equipped with two network ports. Also, the residence halls have free wireless access. Students select their room and roommate through an online housing system. Continuing students who are registered for the following semester are given priority. New students who have submitted their reservation deposit are granted access to the system after continuing students have made their selections. Complete information concerning residence hall staffing, furnishings, and policies is found on the residence life website. A student handbook will be mailed to new students prior to their arrival on campus. Page 4 2014–15 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Introduction University Student Services
