CLEP Credit - All students are eligible to take the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) battery which, if passed satisfactorily, may satisfy most of the general area requirements. (See CLEP under Testing.) 3. Transfer Credit - Students who have completed all general education requirements for a bachelor's degree at another institution in the Utah System of Higher Education prior to transferring to Weber State will not be required to meet the above requirements, with the exception of the State requirements in American history, government, and economics; and the Math Competency requirement. Students who have not met the previous school's requirements must meet the general education requirements at Weber State. This agreement includes all Utah system institutions. Those transfer students from out-of-state institutions who have completed an Associate Degree program with a comparable General Education program to that at WSU will not be required to meet the above requirements. REGISTRATION Director: L. Wins low Hurst Supervisor: Joan Wallentine Location: Administration Building, Room 210 Telephone: 626-6746/6741 Tentative dates for registration each quarter are listed in the calendar at the front of this catalog. Appointment times for registration each term are obtained by calling into the touch-tell system according to the times listed in the quarterly schedule. Registration procedures and classes to be offered are described in the class schedule. The class schedule may be obtained from the Weber State Bookstore in the Shepherd Union Building. COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM 001-099 Non-credit, Developmental & Terminal (do not satisfy baccalaureate requirements & are nontransferable). 100-199 Freshmen (lower division) 200-299 Sophomore (lower division) 300-399 Junior (upper division) 400-499 Senior (upper division) 500-599 Post-Baccalaureate 600-699 Master Degree 280/480 Individual Research 281/481 Experimental 283/483 Directed Readings 286/486 Practicum 289/489 Coop Work Experience 292/492 Workshops, Special Conferences, & Telecourses 295/495 Field Trips 297/298/398 Interdisciplinary 299/499 Seminars Individual course descriptions are listed within each departmental section of this catalog. Each course is identified by a number and a descriptive title shown in bold type. Some detailed description as to the content of the course and the manner in which it is taught is also shown. Courses that fill general education requirements are identified by the following alpha prefixes to the course number: HU and HL-Humanities; PS and LS-Natural Sciences; SS and SB-Social Sciences; PD-Personal Development. The numeric figure in parenthesis, e.g. (3), indicates the number of quarter hours of credit given for the completion of the course. Audit Course Registration Students registering to audit a class are considered as regular students in determining part-time or full-time registration and are charged regular tuition and fees. Because of space and facility limitations, some classes may not be open to audit students. Students who plan to audit a class may select that option via Touch-Tell registration, but final approval for audit attendance is the prerogative of the instructor. Courses may be changed to audit through the 6th week or 60% of the quarter. Students auditing courses will be expected to attend class on a regular basis. Audit students failing to attend class may be issued a "W" at the discretion of the instructor. Audit self-participation in class activites may be limited at the discretion of the instructor. Changes in Registration Students should carefully plan their schedules with their advisor so that any required changes are minimal. Students may make changes at specified times (designated in quarterly schedules) after their initial registration. During the first week of school, students may add and drop classes without instructor approval; during the second week of school, students may drop classes at their own discretion, but must obtain instructor approval to add classes. Classes may be dropped during the third week, but may not be added. For classes dropped after the third week, see "Withdrawal." Classification of Students Students are classified according to the cumulative total of hours completed as follows: Ohrs 1-44 hrs 45-89 hrs 90-134 hrs. 135 hrs and over New Freshmen Advanced Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Students with baccalaureate degrees are classified as Graduates. Credit/No Credit Registration Students may register for classes on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis according to the following criteria: a) Freshmen students may register for only one CR/NC class each quarter; b) Students who have completed 44 hours of college credit and who are not on academic warning or probation may register for a maximum of two classes for CR/NC each quarter. Students should declare their intent to register for CR/NC course work at the time of their original registration but will be permitted to make a change within the first six weeks (or 60%) of the quarter. A maximum of 30 hours of CR/NC courses may be applied toward graduation. Exceptions to the above CR/NC criteria are those courses approved by the WSU Curriculum and General Education Committee specifically as CR/NC courses. Check with the department major to see if courses have been so designated. In most instances this designation will be noted within the course description. Students who stop attending a class for which they are registered CR/NC without properly withdrawing, will be subject to a UW (Unofficial Withdrawal) grade which is counted as an "E" when grades are computed. (See Credit/ No-Credit policy for additional important information. Consult index for page number.) It should be noted that many institutions of higher education regard "NC" grades as failures and "Credit" grades as C's, and enter them as such when evaluating transfer credit. If you anticipate transferring to another college or university, it would be to your advantage to contact that school in advance to determine their policy. Short Term Deferments Students who are unable to meet the payment of tuition and fee deadline on their billing statement may extend the deadline to the Friday before the first day of class by paying a non-refundable short term deferment fee. For greater detail refer to the Class Schedule. Freshmen Registration Freshmen students are discouraged from registering for upper division classes (those numbered 300 and above). However, they may register for such classes if they have completed all prerequisite classes. Late Registration Late registration is allowed during the first week of school each quarter. Students registering late are subject to a late registration fee. Maximum Credit Registration Maximum credit registration without special permission is 20 credit hours per quarter. Students may petition for additional credit hours but they must meet the criteria set forth in the school policy. Petition forms, available in the academic department offices or the Registration Office, explain the policy and procedure governing petitions for excess credit hours. Students should have both a cumulative and a previous quarter grade point average of 3.00 (B) or higher before petitioning. Registration Credit Hour Loads A normal credit-hour load per quarter is 15 quarter hours; but undergraduate students are classified as full-time with 12 or more credit hours; as three-quarter time with 9 credit hours; and as half-time with 6 credit hours. Graduate students are classified as full-time students with a 6-credit hour load. Registration for Currently Enrolled Students During each quarter, currently enrolled students will be given an opportunity to register for the following quarter. Registration priority is assigned by number of credit hours a student has completed; the higher the number of credit hours, the higher the priority. Student Services Interdisc.
