WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 27 Out-of-Class Activities The second phase of the Weber College Curriculum is the out-of-class activities. Guidance Program The Dean of Instruction administers an effective guidance program which assists the individual student to adjust to college life. For the purpose of assisting the individual student so that he might make wise choices from the college offerings which are best suited to his needs, the college guidance program provides pre-registration periods, preceding each quarter, which offer opportunity for valuable personal contacts and ample time to meet registration problems. Each incoming student is assigned to an adviser when he applies for registration. The student is assigned to this adviser for the duration of his stay at the college unless his interests are better served by a change. The adviser counsels with students on many problems of an educational, vocational, leisure or avocational, moral or social, health, and personal nature. He helps the students with suggestions and ad vice rather than makes decisions for him. Each member of the faculty assists in the Guidance Program. Each member of the faculty assists in the guidance program. Consultations with individual students, to help them master subject matter and correlate it with their study plan as a whole, aim at stimulation in academic attainment and in personality development. At the close of each fourth week, the instructors file with the Registrar the scholastic records of all students who are doing unsatisfactory work. These students are referred to the Guidance Committee for consultation. Students who have failed to maintain a ratio of one grade point or a "C" average at the close of the quarter are placed on probation. Their registrations may be limited for the following quarter. The student is urged to seek advice and counsel from his adviser or any other member of the college staff at any time. Emphasis is placed upon the guidance of students with exceptonal abilities. One of the aims of the guidance program is to encourage those with superior gifts to take superior places in society. The Guidance Program provides tests to determine abilities and traits. The guidance program provides all students with opportunity for taking various types of tests, psychological aptitude, vocational interest, mechanical ability, etc., in order to learn more about their abilities and traits. Some of the vocational tests are too expensive to give to all students free of charge. Consequently, a small fee is charged students who choose to take such tests. The Guidance program requires a course in Freshman Orientation. Another important feature of the guidance program is the course in Freshman Orientation which is required of all students except those registered in the Trades and Distributive Education. It is, however, highly recommended as an elective for this group of students. This course not only deals with problems of orientation to college life, methods of study, use of library, principles of mental hygiene, etc., but also, it attempts to acquaint new students with the curricular programs, registration procedures, administration policies, and student body organizations and activities of Weber College.
