Getting Started is one of the most memorable experiences you'll have at Cedarville—the welcome home experience for our Yellow Jackets, new and old. From the moment you drive down University Boulevard, to moving into your residence hall, to meeting fellow students like you in your Sting group, you will be introduced to Cedarville and learn ways to begin plugging in to this community. Your family will be met with clear direction and an exciting atmosphere throughout the process as you are welcomed into the Cedarville family.
More than just another university, Cedarville is home. Join the family and experience the reunion of being welcomed back to campus each year.
Set the tone for the year with Getting Started Weekend, filled with fun events to build community and welcome our Yellow Jackets, both new and old, home to campus!
Experience the community of the Cedarville family! With traditions like the Involvement Fair and first day of school donuts, Welcome Week sets the tone for excitement and involvement throughout the school year.
You'll be placed in a Sting Group with 10-12 other new Yellow Jackets. Led by two to three current students, your Sting Group is your place to connect, get your questions answered, and prepare for campus life before you arrive on campus! During the Jacket Fest on Friday, August 16th, you'll meet your Sting Group in person.
In June 2024, your Sting Group will be added to a Microsoft Team, which will provide resources, information, and a connection point. Follow these steps to access your group:
