One Continuing Education Unit is awarded for ten contact hours of participation in an organized Continuing Education activity under responsible sponsorship, and quality instruction. Faculty and Academic Standards — All members of the instructional staff are selected, with the approval of the school or department to which the program is related. They are College faculty or persons employed during the day in responsible positions in their fields of specialization, who bring to their classes the benefit of current knowledge and practical experience. All offerings will maintain a high quality consistent with the standard of the College. Fees, Deposits and Refunds —Extension Classes — Credit classes are charged the same tuition and given the same refunds as day school. Specialized classes are contracted according to costs incurred in setting up and operating the class. Conferences and Special Programs — Fees for conferences are individually priced and announced accordingly. Non-Credit Classes — Corresponding fees are listed in the class bulletins, published quarterly by the College. The College policy is to keep non-credit course fees as low as possible but at a level which will provide high quality instruction. Travel Study Program — Procedures for making deposits, and paying fees are explained in detail in the brochures announcing the various Travel- Study Program sponsored by the college. Brochures on Travel Study Programs are available at the Continuing Education Center on campus. Programs —The Division of Continuing Education offers the College and community a focal point for planning, promoting, and coordinating conferences, seminars, workshops, travel study tours, and special interest classes. Experienced coordinators will efficiently and inexpensively handle such details as facilities and housing; food services, including banquets; advertising, parking permits, mailing lists, printing of materials, registration service, and special entertainment. With the great expertise of the faculty to draw from, the Continuing Education Office can, upon short notice and at your convenience, address almost any subject to any extent desired with a specially designed seminar or workshop. The office also specializes in providing subjects for teacher recer- tification. In addition, the usual agenda of pertinent subjects and activities, (both credit and non-credit) will be offered on a continuing basis. Classes taught off the campus are designed to provide credit and non- credit educational opportunities to groups off the campus who wish to pursue a degree program or to improve their vocational and personal competency. Classes are held Monday through Saturday at times convenient for the re- questing group. The College cooperates with the various governmental installations, businesses, and civic groups in planning and presenting specific courses to meet the needs of employees. It also operates as an administrative center to provide coordination between College departments and special programs such as Corrections and Law Enforcement, Hill Air Force Base Center, etc. 412 Continuing Education Corrections and Law Enforcement —Working directly with the Department of Corrections and Law Enforcement, Continuing Education helps meet the role given to Weber State College by the Board of Regents to provide Corrections and Law Enforcement education programs throughout the State. Programs are established at various locations throughout the state which give law enforcement officers an opportunity to complete classes required for a degree. Hill Air Force Base Center — Because of the large number of employees at Hill Air Force Base, a special center has been established in cooperation with the Military Education Office at Hill. Its purpose is to provide a general core of educational classes to meet the needs of their employees. Also, a special curriculum, or packages of classes, are developed to meet requirements of special groups at the Base. Allied Health Continuing Education —This program strives to help health workers keep up with advances in their specialty, to provide primary training for new roles, to aid in meeting educational requirements for accreditation and recertification and in general provide whatever refresher training is needed. This is accomplished through short courses, workshops, conferences, and seminars presented both on campus and in the rural areas of the Intermountain West. Community Services —Community Services is an extension of the College which seeks to determine and meet community needs. Community Service staff members provide College faculty and students the opportunity to assist in the solution of a variety of short-range and long-range community problems identified by citizens and organizations. For example, the behind the scenes efforts of Community Service personnel, College faculty and students has resulted in the establishment of a Community Based Corrections Center for Women in northern Utah; the passing of the Spouse Abuse Act by the 1979 Utah Legislature which gives more protection to abused spouses by more accurately defining the role of law enforcement, the judiciary, and the Department of Social Services; a more solid funding base for services to victims of domestic violence. Beyond their catalytic and technical assitant roles, Community Service staff, with the assistance of the Office of Grants and Contracts has aided communities in locating supporting funds for service projects that are outside the role of the College. More direct services include financial and housing counseling for persons referred to Housing and Urban Development in Northern Utah, the Weber State College Achievement Home for boys adjudicated as seriously delinquent by the First Direct Juvenile Court, and training programs for the Utah Department of Social Services. Race Desegregation Assistance Center —The Race Desegregation Assistance Center is a Federally funded program under Title IV of the 1964 Civil Rights Act as amended. The Center provides technical assistance and training to Public School Districts in Region VIII (Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota). The Center strives to provide a relatively stable source of desegregation assistance and inservice training to school districts within Region VIII.
