Show Graduation Categories of probation are defined by grade point deficits below the total required for a C average. The deficit is reported at the bottom of the student's Report of Grades. Any questions should be directed to the Director of Academic Standards in the Administration Building. 1. Academic Warning (1 to 15 grade points below a C average). Students, regardless of their cumulative grade point average, who perform below a grade point average of 1.0 for any one quarter will be placed on warning. These students and other students on warning whose record warrants special consideration will receive formal notification of their status. It is recommended that they visit with an academic adviser or counselor. 2. Academic Probation (16 or more grade points below a C average). Performance resulting in a grade point deficit of 16 or more points places a student on probation. The student's registration may be regulated by a counselor, and he should plan to work closely with a counselor until such time as he is taken off probation. 3. Suspension Students on academic probation who fail to improve their grade point average will be suspended from further attendance at Weber State College following spring quarter each year. Readmission will be considered only in cases where the student can present evidence to the Admissions Committee which would indicate positive change in circumstances suggesting a high probability of future academic success. GRADUATION Weber State College grants the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of General Studies; titles of Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science; a Certificate of Completion, and a Certificate of Proficiency. Application for GraduationA candidate for the bachelor degree must file an application for graduation obtained at the Graduation Office during the spring quarter of his junior year. Each applicant will receive a written report on his standing for graduation upon which to plan the work for his senior year. A candidate for the title of Associate of Arts or Science, or Associate of Applied Science, or for the Certificate of Completion, or for the Certificate of Proficiency must file a written application for graduation with the Graduation Office not later than the sixth week of the autumn quarter.

A student whose grade point average in all his registered work is not less than 3.4 is awarded honors (cum laude). The names of students winning high honors and honors are published in the Commencement program and elsewhere as the President may direct.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR CANDIDACY For a student to be admitted to candidacy for any degree or title, his scholastic record must show that he has satisfied the entrance requirements and that he can fulfill the requirements for graduation.

Credit RestrictionsNot more than 30 quarter hours of D grade credit may be applied toward graduation.

Not more than 45 of the total hours required for the baccalaureate degree may be correspondence credit. CREDIT GIVEN FOR OTHER THAN COLLEGE EXPERIENCE 1. Advanced Placement Program CreditWeber State College has adopted the following policy for those students who have completed the Advanced Placement Program and have passed the Educational Testing Service examinations with acceptable scores: Twelve quarter hours will be granted to a student completing any standard Advanced Placement Examination with a composite grade of 5, 4, or 3 at the completion of a daily, full-year, high school course as recommended by the Committee on Advanced Placement of the College Entrance Examination Board. Students interested in receiving credit under this policy should have results of the examination forwarded to the Records Office. 2. CLEP CreditThe College Level Examination Program is based on the assumption that students have gained the equivalent of formal classroom instruction in the liberal arts through non-traditional ways; such as on-the-job training, residence in a foreign country, military experience, correspondence courses, etc. The CLEP consists of two different types of examinations: a. General Examinations are designed to measure a broad area of general knowledge ordinarily required of students during their first and second year in college. The areas include English composition, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, and Social Science-History. A student who has been officially accepted and is presently enrolled at Weber State College may earn a maximum of 46 credit hours toward a degree on the basis of the CLEP General Examination with the exception of the mathematics test. b. Subject Examinations are available in 32 different subjects for credit in equivalent courses taught at Weber State College. CLEP subject examinations cannot be taken for any course a student has previously registered in. The fee for the general examinations is $20 for one test or $30 for two and $40 for three, four or five. The fee for each subject examination is $20. If a student takes five general examinations and one subject examination, his total fee would be $60. The fee may be paid by check or money at the time application for the test is made at the Counseling Center. Students who are interested in taking the tests should register at the Testing Center in the Library. The subject examinations will be given on Thursday of the third week of each month and the general examinations, on Saturday of the third week of each month. Students need to register two weeks prior to taking the examinations. 3. Special Examination CreditA student may take special examinations in courses not covered by the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or the Advanced Placement Program. A student must be officially registered at the time the request for examination is made. A special examination cannot be taken for any course a student has previously registered in. Credits earned by special examination are not considered part of the residence requirement. A maximum of 25 quarter hours of credit can be acquired by special examination. Credit will be given only with approval of the head of the department concerned. 13 |
