Show Admissions Departmental Admission Requirements — Some academic departments require additional information and separate application forms before admitting students as majors. It is possible for a student to be admitted to the College but denied admission to a particular department such as Nursing, Dental Hygiene, or Teacher Education. Applicants are responsible for supplying all supplementary materials required by those departments. Students should contact the department in which they are interested or the Academic Advisement Center for specific details. New Freshman Applicants —A carefully planned program of high school coursework can give students a definite edge in their college work. Those who master certain basic subjects and skills in high school can substantially increase their chances for success at the college level. Beginning in the fall of 1985, Weber State will screen entering freshmen to determine their skills in English and mathematics. Skill levels will be ascertained by ACT scores and high school grades. Students wh« fall below predetermined levels will be referred to the appropriate department for remedial courses and will be assessed a substantial fee to pay for those courses. Their course load will be restricted to 12 credits per quarter and they will not be allowed to enroll in general education or upper division courses until they can demonstrate competence in the required areas. It should be noted that the 1985 entrance requirements will primarily affect degree-seeking students and will not pertain to students enrolled in short- term vocational programs. The one-year certificate and diploma programs offered through the WSC School of Technology are open to applicants 18 years of age and over. High school graduation is preferred but not required. The certificate programs include the following: Automotive Body, Automotive Service, Diesel Service, Data Processing (one-year), Construction Technology, Machine Tool, Welding, Cosmetology, Electronic Service Technician and Industrial Electricity. Residents — Utah residents must complete the following steps to be accepted as fully matriculated students: 1. Graduate from high school. 2. Submit ACT scores. 3. Request an official transcript from their high school of graduation. The transcript should be sent directly from the high school to the WSC Admissions Office. (This step is not required if WSC was listed as one of the schools to receive the student's ACT scores and the high school verified the student's self-reported grade point average). 4. Submit an application for admission. (This step is not required if WSC was listed as one of the schools to receive the student's ACT scores. Residents who take the ACT on a national test date and request that their scores be sent to WSC will receive an acceptance notice in the mail without having to apply. The ACT admission process is the easiest way for freshmen to make application and is preferred by the WSC Admissions Office.) 5. Pay the $15 application fee. (Those who apply via ACT must also return the verification portion of their acceptance notice in order to complete the application process). 12 Admissions Non-residents — Applicants who are non-residents must complete the following steps to be considered for admission as fully matriculated students: 1. Graduate from high school with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.20. 2. Submit ACT or SAT scores. (ACT preferred.) 3. Request an official transcript from their high school of graduation. The transcript should be sent directly from the high school to the WSC Admissions office. 4. Submit an application for admission. (This step is not required if WSC was listed as one of the schools to receive the student's ACT scores. Acceptance notices are mailed to qualified non-resident students who request that their ACT scores be sent to WSC, but final matriculation approval is contingent upon receipt of an official high school transcript). 5. Pay the $15 application fee. (Those who apply via ACT must also return the verification portion of their acceptance notice). Admission of Non-graduates —Students 18 years of age and older who have not yet completed high school may be considered for admission by passing the General Education Development Test with scores specified by the College. In order for 18 year olds to qualify to take the GED, the high school class of which they were a member must have graduated. The ACT is also required and may be used by non-high school graduates to satisfy high school equivalency if they earn a composite score of 18 or better. Early Admission —Exceptionally well qualified high school students may be considered for admission to Weber State College prior to high school graduation if they have completed their junior year, have earned a cumulative grade point average of a 3.85 or better, and scored at the 85th percentile on the ACT. They must also receive the unconditional endorsement of their parents and high school principal. Specific details can be obtained from the Admissions Office. Transfer Applicants —To be considered for admission to WSC, students transferring from another college or university, must submit the following information on or before the appropriate deadline: 1. An application for admission and the $15 application fee. 2. Official transcripts of all previous college work. 3. Evidence that they are in good standing and eligible to re-enroll at the college or university where they were most recently registered. Transfer students who have completed 15 credit hours or more will not be required to take the ACT if the equivalent of Weber State's English 100 or English 101 is included in the 15 hours. Transfer applicants must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (4.0 is equal to an A) in their previous college work. Students transferring to Weber State with an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree earned at any institution within the Utah System of Higher Education will be considered as having met the Weber State general education requirements.
