Major Selection

Whether you've already chosen a major or are still considering your options, the next step in your journey to Cedarville is to complete the Major Selection Checkpoint.

As a new transfer or a freshman, the major you choose will impact the classes you take in fall semester. Class schedules for all new students are developed this summer through the Office of the Registrar.

Freshmen

  • Schedules are developed during the summer using a specially-designed computer process.
  • Essential major courses will be included in the schedule that is prepared for you.
  • Schedules will take into account any Advanced Placement or transfer credit for which you are eligible; make sure to provide official copies of score reports or college transcripts (see Checkpoint #7).
  • You will have the opportunity to meet with your academic advisor before classes begin in August to discuss your class schedule and make changes, if desired. If you're contemplating a second major and/or additional minor, you can talk with your advisor at this time, too.

Transfer Students

  • Please provide official copies of your final transcripts.
  • Watch for communication from Karisa Linafelter in the Office of the Registrar regarding your registration process.
  • If you have any questions or need information, contact Karisa at 1-800-CEDARVILLE (233-2784).

TO DO
