Cedarville's Getting Started program assists new students and their parents in their adjustments to campus life and acquaints them with their academic responsibilities and opportunities for involvement. Students and staff will greet you, direct you to where you need to go, and respond to any questions you may have. New students are expected to attend the Getting Started session at 6:15 p.m. in the Dixon Ministry Center on Saturday, August 15. A detailed schedule of orientation sessions for parents and new students will be mailed to all new students in early July.

This year more than 500 students will commute to campus. This includes married students, non-traditional students, students who live close enough to campus to commute from home, and approximately 200 students who have permission to move off campus. We provide a variety of services and programs to help off-campus students take full advantage of the Cedarville experience. If you are a commuter student, please plan to attend the new student orientation meeting at 5 p.m. on August 15 in the Dixon Ministry Center, Room 224. There will be a dinner for students and families following the meeting. Watch summer mailings for more information.

There are no restrictions on vehicle registration. However, for academic reasons, freshmen are discouraged from bringing a vehicle their first semester. Please understand that parking is limited and upperclassmen are given priority. All vehicles parked on campus must be registered with campus safety.
