Continuing Education — Academic Information Continuing Education — Academic Information Travel Studies Department Carl E. Jensen, Coordinator Travel Study Programs may be offered anytime throughout the year. Programs may be arranged for college or community groups who wish to develop educationally while traveling within the state, the United States or in other countries. The purpose of the Travel Studies Department is to upgrade, encourage, and facilitate educational travel programs. The Travel Studies Department will coordinate with other departments on campus and welcomes suggestions and requests from any individual or group interested in programs of a Travel Study nature. All persons participating must be regularly enrolled in a class or classes either credit or audit. ACADEMIC INFORMATION Admissions Requirements How to Qualify—Continuing Education classes are available to persons who are 18 years of age or older (not attending high school), or who have graduated from high school, or have passed the high school level General Education Development test with scores specified by the College. In order to receive credit toward an academic degree, however, a student must qualify for admission according to the criteria outlined on page 19 of this catalog. Students on suspension from a college or university must apply for admission or re-admission, and be accepted, before college credit will be allowed. Academic Standards—In all cases where degree credit is granted academic standards of the Division of Continuing Education are the same as those of the day school, and are outlined beginning on page 40. Counseling Counseling in the area of vocational choice, educational planning, or any personal concerns is available by appointment to students of the Evening School during evening school hours.

Appointments may be made through the main office of the Counseling Center, Weber State College. Numbering of Classes See page 17 of the catalog.
