If a student is not passing in ten hours of college work, or its equivalent in the terminal courses, he is placed on probation for two weeks. If at the end of the probationary period, work is not made up to satisfactory level, the student is declared ineligible for the quarter. Social and service club members who failed the previous quarter to maintain a 1.0 grade point in all work are declared ineligible during the current quarter. Weber College aims to keep the individual working at his maximum capacity as well as to maintain wholesome standards for those in competition. The Guidance Committee may advise that students of exceptional ability who are not showing a commendable attitude toward their work be declared ineligible in spite of the fact that these students are living up to the letter of the eligibility rules. The Eligibility Committee has the power to waive these rules in special cases upon recommendation of the Administration or Guidance Committee. In interschool athletics, however, participants are bound by the regulations of the Intermountain Junior College Athletic Conference. Instructors in charge of an activity must file the names of their candidates for the activity two weeks before active competition begins.

The Chairman of the Student Guidance Committee, and other counselors have scheuled hours each day for individual counseling. Any regular student, prospective student, or former student is entitled to this service by private appointment.
