Show CONTINUING EDUCATION Richard O. Ulibarri, Dean LaVon B. Carroll, Assistant to the Dean The Division of Continuing Education is designed to extend into the community not only the services but the spirit of the college. It is the Division's responsibility to become aware of the community's needs and prepare to offer assistance to meet those needs. Continuing Education assumes the responsibility for the non-traditional students in our society and creates programs, classes, and opportunities for them. The quality of service that has become traditional with Weber State will be maintained in any programs conducted by the Division. CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES All courses listed in this catalogue may be offered under the direction of the department concerned through the Division of Continuing Education. The Division, in addition, may offer educational experiences to meet a wide variety of needs which cannot be listed in the current catalogue. These will be listed in the quarterly class schedule or advertised in brochures, through the media or by other means. The needs of the student will be considered in each instance. CREDIT Credit toward degrees of certification will be offered by the departments as they direct in any regular course offering presented by Continuing Education. Credit will be offered toward degrees or certification in special workshops, conferences or mini-courses with the approval of the school or department to which it relates. NON-CREDIT Many courses will be offered for those students who are interested only in recreation or personal development and do not wish credit. CONTINUING EDUCATION UNIT The Continuing Education Unit will be offered on selected courses for students wishing or needing to keep a record of education activities other than those directed toward certification or degree. One Continuing Education Unit is awarded for ten contact hours of participation in an organized Continuing Education activity under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified 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, for their outstanding recent experience in education, business or industry. 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 standards of the College. 280 Continuing Education FEES, DEPOSITS AND REFUNDS Extension ClassesCredit classes are charged the same fees and given the same refunds as day school.
