Residence Life Student Standards STUDENT HEALTH CENTER Director: Juliana Larsen Location: Annex 4 Telephone: 626-6459 The Student Health Center is located in Annex 4 (next to the Campus Security Office) and is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. except weekends and holidays. A physician is available 9:30 a.m. through 1:30 p.m. and the remainder of the time is covered by the Family Nurse Practitioner. Services available at the center are similar to those of any physician's office, and include a laboratory and pharmacy. The doctor visits and laboratory tests performed at the clinic are available to the students at no charge. Prescriptions from the pharmacy require the student have their current I.D. card, but are available at a reduced cost. The pharmacy is open 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. One day a week, by appointment only, a podiatrist comes to the clinic to see students. There is no charge to the students for these visits. Any referrals out of the facility become the financial responsibility of the student. RESIDENCE LIFE Director: Mark A. McGuire Location: Promontory Tower Telephone: 626-6828 There are four residence halls available to students desiring to live on campus. Living in the residence halls provides an excellent opportunity for students to live, work, and study together.. Weber State is committed to the total development of students: intellectual, personal, physical, and spiritual. Within this context, it is the University's philosophy that the residence halls be a "living-learning" environment, one where residents have an opportunity to interact with students from different parts of the country and the world, develop interpersonal relationships, and learn about themselves as human beings. The residence halls are staffed by full-time, live-in Residence Hall Directors who are responsible for the administration of the buildings. They are assisted by full- time student Resident Assistants who have been selected and trained to assist residents in the development of floor communities which are conducive to learning, personal growth, and enjoyment. Traditional Residence Hall Living Promontory Tower and Wasatch Hall are traditional residence halls providing room, board, and recreational facilities. Students living in these facilities are required to purchase any one of several meal plans offered by Dining Services. All meals are served in the attractive Promontory Tower Dining Room. Wasatch Hall accommodates 222 students on three floors. Students in Wasatch Hall share a common lounge and recreation areas. Promontory Tower accommodates 245 male and female students on seven floors. Each room in these residence halls is shared by two students and is furnished with beds, drapes, lamps, study desks, chairs, chest of drawers, and closets. All residence hall rooms are carpeted. All other furnishings must be provided by the residents. Single rooms are also available on a limited basis. Single rooms are assigned according to date of request and are slightly more expensive. Apartment Style Living Stansbury and LaSal are apartment style residence halls, each accommodating 70 students. Each apartment is shared by six students and includes a kitchen with refrigerator, electric range, cupboards, table and chairs; bathrooms; a pantry; and three bedrooms furnished with beds, desks, bureaus, and drapes. All other furnishings including cooking and eating utensils are the responsibility of the residents. Residents are responsible for the cleaning of their own bedrooms and share responsibility for cleaning the kitchen, bathrooms, and hallway. Departmental cleanliness standards are strictly enforced. Although some residents of Stansbury and LaSal Halls cook all their meals, many students purchase a limited meal plan and supplement the meals not provided under this plan with their own cooking. Living/Learning Environments Each residence hall area at Weber State also has a comfortable lounge, as well as recreation, laundry, television, and study rooms. A wide variety of social, cultural, and educational programs are initiated in the residence halls by both staff and residence hall government. These provide excellent opportunities for students to complement their educational experience at Weber State right in their own living environment. Applications, Procedures, and Policies Any matriculated student, enrolled in a degree granting program at Weber State, is eligible to live in college housing. Housing information, current room and board rates, and application forms may be obtained by writing the Housing Office, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah 84408-3101. Since there is limited space available, applications are accepted in the order that they are received along with the room deposit. Acceptance of a housing application and deposit does not constitute admission to Weber State. Application for admission to Weber State must be made with the Admissions Office, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah 84408-1015. Students living in Weber State residence halls agree by written agreement to retain their accommodations for the entire use period and to abide by all residence hall regulations. Room or room and board charges are payable in advance. If payments are past due, the student will be restricted from room and board services and/or from future registration for classes. STUDENT ELIGIBILITY AND SOCIAL STANDARDS Eligibility for Student Activities The Admissions, Standards and Student Affairs Committee of the Faculty Senate, composed of students, faculty, and administration, shall interpret all rules governing the eligibility for participation in organized student activities at Weber State in accordance with the following standards: 1. All organization officers, leaders, and members with authority to represent the organization both within and outside Weber State, must be matriculated students, currently enrolled, and working toward a degree or certification. 2. Participants in Weber State activities should also meet the above criteria. Organization leaders and advisers must be prepared to justify the participation of persons not meeting these criteria, particularly when such participation results in the denial of opportunity for bonafide Weber State students. 3. Within the above parameters, specific programs, organizations, and activities may establish more stringent eligibility standards provided that such standards are consistent with Weber State's nondiscrimination policies. Satisfactory Progress The satisfactory progress policy of the university applies currently to students needing to maintain eligibility for NCAA athletics. Eventually the policy will apply to all students needing to maintain eligibility for various campus programs. Satisfactory Progress Policy: Full-time students will maintain satisfactory progress in a specific program of study by completing at least 36 hours of degree credit each year or an average of 12 hours each quarter according to the following policy: Major: A major/minor program of study must be declared by the time students complete 72 credit hours. Students may change their major only if they are making satisfactory progress in their present major. Required Degree Courses: • Courses must meet General Education, degree, or major/minor requirements. • Electives must be taken above the minimum hour requirement with an exception for students who have not yet declared a major. Until a major has been declared elective courses may count for up to two credit hours of the hour requirement each quarter. • Repeated courses will qualify only if allowed as repeatable by the catalog. • A course repeated to improve a grade will count the first time a satisfactory grade is earned. • Remedial or ESL courses will count only if taken during a student's first 36 hours. Required Grades: • Grades I, T, W, UW, NC, E, AU do not meet progress requirements. (Incomplete grades, I and T, will count when a satisfactory grade is received.) • A limit of 30 hours of D grade can be used. • CR grades will be accepted for required courses only as approved by the CR/NC policy. • Courses that require a minimum grade must meet that requirement (math, English, major courses, etc.) Determination of Eligibility: Athletic Eligibility will be determined on a quarterly and yearly basis. Quarterly Progress Evaluation : The quarter when a student is first required to meet satisfactory progress requirements a cumulative progress record will be established and notification of progress status will be printed on each student's report of grades. Credit hours meeting the above criteria for required courses and required grades should total a minimum of 12 each quarter. A total of more than 12 will create extra hours, and a total of less than 12 will create deficit hours. Extra hours will be used to offset deficit hours from previous or subsequent quarters. The number of extra or deficit hours will place students in the following categories: (1) Satisfactory Progress: Zero or extra credit hours. (a) Freshmen and Sophomores • Progress Warning: 1-10 deficit hours • Progress Probation: 11 or more deficit hours (must reduce deficit hours by at least 2 each quarter to avoid progress disqualification). (b) Juniors and Seniors • Progress Probation: 1 or more deficit hours (must reduce deficit hours by at least 2 each quarter or bring deficit hours to zero to avoid progress disqualification ). (2) Progress Disqualification: Student-athletes on progress probation who fail to reduce deficit hours by at least 2 credits each quarter or bring deficit hours to Science 42 43
