Such activities are more directly and immediately concerned with giving students experiences in the democratic ways of life, with placing them in situations for creating personality and ethical character, and extending to them opportunities for enriching their personal and social lives. , . Admissions and Graduations ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Weber College admits students classified as follows: (1) Matriculated Students for Transfer Curricula, (2) Unmatriculated Students for Transfer Curricula, and (3) Matriculated Students for Terminal Curricula. 1. A matriculated student for transfer curricula must be a graduate of an accredited high school, or present fifteen units of approved high school work that does not include more than one unit of physical education. If the student fails to present fifteen units of high school work, he may qualify for admission provided (1) he is eighteen years of age or older, and (2) he passes the General Educational Development Tests or Subject Tests as developed by the U. S. Armed Forces Institute, or other comparable tests approved and recommended by the American Council on Education. If the student takes the Subject Tests, he must pass in a sufficient number of subjects to total the approved fifteen units required for entrance. In addition to the above requirements, a student seeking admission to any division or department of the College shall be required to present credits in courses specified by the department as prerequisites. When a student has fifteen units of high school work but is deficient in one, or more specified units as required in his major field, he will be expected to make up that deficiency before the end of the freshman year. (See specific entrance requirements listed under each Division.) 2. A student eighteen years of age or older who is deficient either in the number of high school credits or in the specific subjects required in his major field may register as an unmatriculated student, provided: (a) he passes the General Educational Development Tests before or during his first quarter of attendance; or (b) he passes the Subject Examination Test as developed by the U. S. Armed Forces Institute before the close of his freshman year; or (c) he demonstrates his ability to handle the course because of his maturity. 3. A matriculated student for terminal curricula must present fifteen units of high school work or must have attained the age of eighteen years. If a terminal student does not present fifteen units of high school credit, a recommendation from the principal of the high school he last attended must be submitted, provided the student has been in attendance at a high school within one year preceding the time who does not present fifteen units for entrance is required to demon- of application for admission to Weber College. In addition, a student strate to the Faculty through the aptitude tests and physical examinations that he is capable of succeeding in the occupation he has selected. WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 23 During the period of the war emergency, certain exceptions to the above requirements may be made, subject to the agreement of the high school principal and the President of the College. A terminal student is not preparing for higher degrees. He pursues a terminal course and at the completion of this work receives a Certificate of Completion in the field wherein his specific requirements have been met. These requirements may not satisfy the entrance requirements of the higher institutions of the State. A student is admitted to the Trades and Distributive Education Courses on a selective basis. The school reserves the right to reject any applicant who does not propose to use the training for entry into employment, or who is not occupationally qualified, or who cannot profit by the training. To enroll in these courses the student must satisfy the entrance requirements, and receive the approval of the instructor and the coordinator concerned. If the class is filled at the time application is made, the applicant for enrollment will be placed on the waiting list and will be notified when there is a vacancy for which he might qualify. There is no certain period when an entire class in the trades is graduated and another group is started. Students may enter a class at any time during the school year when there is a vacancy. These vacancies occur when students complete their units of training or are placed on a job. Those on the waiting list will be notified when there are opportunities to enter the class. In order to be admitted to Weber College in any of the above classifications, a student must be of good moral character. A student who has been dropped from any high school or college on account of poor scholarship, or unsatisfactory conduct, or who is on probation at another institution may not register at Weber College without first appealing to the Standards Committee for entrance. This Committee will be guided by the recommendation of the institution from which such a student transfers. Filing of Credits by September 1 A student should have his high school credits on file in the Registrar's Office by September 1. If his credits are not on file by the time of registration, he may be denied entrance. A student who has taken college work previous to his registration in Weber College must file his credits from all other institutions attended. Pre-registration During each quarter there is a period of pre-registration for the following quarter. This period usually takes place one week before final registration day. Pre-registration is a conference method inaugurated to avoid the problems attendant upon mass registration, and to insure opportunity for giving individual attention to the program of each student. All students are expected to complete their registration, including payment of fees, before the final registration day of each quarter. The normal registration for any one quarter is fifteen quarter hours, exclusive of physical education. Numbering of Courses Courses numbered from 1 to 49 inclusive allow college transfer credit. Courses numbered 50 and above allow terminal credit. Terminal courses are offered for junior college credit only and are accepted by Weber College toward graduation of the terminal student. These courses may not be accepted at full value by the higher institutions of learning. The same transfer and terminal courses given in regular session may be offered in Evening School and Summer Session. These courses will carry the regular number in the Catalogue, but will be designated on the student's record by the prefix E for courses taken in Evening School, and the prefix S for courses taken during Summer Session. |
