Application and Admission Questions
What do you look for in an applicant?
Well-prepared applicants are typically making good progress toward completing their high school graduation requirements and have typically completed at least one high school credit in college preparatory English, Algebra 1, science, and social studies.
What is 鈥渃ollege preparatory鈥 coursework?
College prep courses may include standard high school courses, dual credit, honors, AP, and IB courses. Remedial and middle school-level courses are not considered college preparatory. Advanced students who complete a college preparatory course before 9th grade may include these courses on their high school transcript.
Which transcripts should I submit?
Cedarville requires a record of final grades for all courses taken in the last two academic years. This may include a high school transcript, an official or unofficial transcript from dual enrollment at another college or university, or report cards if the student has not completed two years of high school. Homeschool students may want to review our sample transcript.
Does my graduation date matter?
Yes. Your high school graduation date determines how long you are eligible for Dual Enrollment benefits and can impact your scholarship eligibility.
Your Dual Enrollment eligibility ends when:
- You reach the graduation date listed on your high school transcript at admission, or
- You complete four years of high school (whichever comes first)
Your graduation date is considered final once you are admitted. In rare cases, you may request a change if you are unable to graduate on time due to circumstances beyond your control. This requires:
- A written request to Admissions
- Documentation from your school, including an updated transcript
If you take more than 12 credit hours after your high school graduation date, you will be classified as a transfer student and become ineligible for incoming freshman scholarships.
Do I have to reapply each year?
No. College Credit Plus (CCP), homeschool, and private school students will receive a Letter of Good Standing each February that can be used for your CCP application. Students who do not enroll in a course within three semesters of acceptance will need to reapply for admission.
