Show An adult student who has not completed high school requirements is required to take the General Educational Development Tests of the United States Armed Forces Institute. These tests are available at the Weber College Testing Office and in other test centers in all states of the union. Counseling ServiceAny student needing or desiring counseling is invited to use the services of the Guidance Office, his division head, or his instructors. Weber College is anxious that each student attain the highest success possible. The Testing Office also gives aptitude, interest, personality and other achievement tests as recommended by the deans or counselors. High school transcripts and test scores are kept on file at the Testing Office for the use of all counselors and faculty members. An incoming student who needs help choosing a major field of study or a vocation, is encouraged to call the Personnel Office for an appointment with a counselor for help. Special group sessions and personal help appointments are available during August and September. Remedial CoursesIn addition to its orientation activities, the College offers special remedial courses in English, mathematics, reading, and listening. The student who feels that he is weak in any of these areas and would like extra help should register for these courses. He should tell his adviser of this need during registration. The adviser will then help him select appropriate courses. VETERANS' SERVICE Veteran CoordinatorThe Office of the Veteran Coordinator assists veterans with special problems involved in registering and training under the Public Laws which provide educational benefits. At this office the veterans may receive guidance and counseling related to the educational opportunities afforded them by the Public Laws and by the offerings of Weber College. It is necessary that all veterans who attend Weber College under one of the Public Laws clear through the office of the Veteran Coordinator. Options for Fulfilling Military Training Requirements For College Students Option I. Join the New Reserve Programs of either the Army, Air Force or Marines. A student must spend six months on active duty, seven and one-half years in the Ready Reserve, attend weekly drills, and agree to spend 17 days on active duty training during each summer. If no reserve unit is available for weekly drill, he must agree to serve 30 days on active duty during the summer. The local units available in the area are: Army Reserve a. Military Police b. Artillery c. Anti-aircraft Artillery d. Transportation e. Adjutant General Corps Marine Reserve a. 45th Special Infantry Co., 20th and Jackson Ave., Ogden, Utah b. 21st Special Rifle Co., Ft. Douglas, Salt Lake City, Utah Air Force Reserve a. 12th Airways and Communications Dept., Hill Air Force Base b. 313th Fighter Bomber Sqd., Hill Air Force Base. College students will be called within 120 days of enlistment to begin their training. High school students will be given the opportunity of completing their high school education. They will be called to active duty approximately June 15th of each year. Option II. Wait for the draft. A student may choose to wait for the draft, serve two years on active duty and four years in the Reserve. When he is called, he may gain a deferment for the current quarter by making application with the draft board and presenting evidence that he is registered in school. He may repeat this deferment each quarter until one year of school is completed. Further deferment is on an individual basis for anyone whose course of study will help maintain the "national health, safety, or interest." To qualify for this further deferment a student must obtain a high grade in the Selective Service College Aptitude examination. Option III. Enlist in an Established Reserve Force. A student between the ages of 17 and 26 may join a Reserve program. Each reserve program has separate requirements. In the Army Reserve he will be called to active duty at the time of draft call and will serve two years on active duty. In the Navy Reserve he will serve two years on active duty and four in the Reserve. Anyone joining the reserve between 17 and 18% years of age will be called to active duty near the end of the first year in this reserve. A student over 18% may join the Navy Reserve and be ordered to two years active duty immediately. In the Marine Reserve a student may select a two-year tour of active duty and four years in the Reserve. He will be called to active duty at the time of draft call. In the Air Force Reserve a student must have had previous military service to be eligible for this reserve. It will fulfill the Ready Reserve obligation of all other forces. |
