Show arriving at the average grade point for graduation. This policy began with the Summer Quarter 1964. Changing of Grades—Grades entered with the Registrar shall be unalterable except when written explanation to the Admissions, Credits and Graduation Committee, or to the Administration, is expressly made by the teacher concerned, and then, only in the event that error in recording or computing grades is shown to be the cause for the change. Make-up Examinations—No make-up examinations are allowed except on the payment of a one-dollar fee to the Treasurer and the presentation of the receipt of such payment to the instructor concerned. Non-Resident Regulations—A student classified as nonresident of the State of Utah is required to pay a special nonresident fee. Any non-resident student who has reason to believe he can qualify for resident status must file a petition with the Registrar before he registers. Petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the following provisions of Title 53-34-1 of the Utah Code Annotated (Supp. 1863). "The meaning of the word 'domicile' for the purposes of this act, shall be determined by reference to the General law on the subject of domicile, except that the following rules shall be observed: a student cannot acquire a domicile in this state until he or she, or the parent or guardian, if the student is a minor, has lived in the state for a period of one year prior to registration in the public post-high school educational institutions. No person can acquire a domicile by living in the State of Utah, when such person lives in Utah merely for the purpose of attending or enabling a minor child to attend such institutions. "Each person serving in the United States Armed Services assigned to duty in Utah and members of the family of such persons who live in Utah shall be deemed residents for the purposes of this chapter." Classification of Students—After registration, students are classified as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and part-time students. Students with fewer than 45 quarter hours credit at the beginning of the school year are classified as Freshmen. Those with 45 to 90 quarter hours are classified as Sophomores, those with 91 to 135 as Juniors, and those with 136 and over as Seniors. Students carrying fewer than 10 quarter hours in any one quarter are classified as part-time. Testing—All freshmen students entering Weber State College and all transfer students who have earned less than 45 quarter hours of college credit, or have not completed the English requirement, must take the American College Tests. The results of the ACT must be in the Registrar's Office before the following deadline dates: For enrollment in: Deadline date Autumn Quarter August 15th Winter Quarter December 1st Spring Quarter February 15th Summer Quarter May 15th Testing dates are in November, February, April and June at testing centers located in all of the states. It is recommended that students take the ACT as early as possible during their senior year of high school. Information can be obtained from high school principals or counselors, or by writing to ACT Central Registration Unit, 519 West Sheridan Road, McHenry, Illinois, or from the Weber State College Registrar's Office. Because the results of the ACT assist advisors in placing students in appropriate courses, a student may be restricted from registration in a particular course until the results of his ACT are available. Probation—A student who has been dropped from any high school or college because of poor scholarship or unsatisfactory conduct, or who is on probation at another institution may not register at Weber State College without first applying to the Admissions Committee. When a student transferring from a college or university is admitted, he is subject to the probation regulations and scholarship standards of Weber State College. Advanced Placement Program—Weber State College has adopted the following policy for those students who have completed the advanced placement program and who have passed the Educational Testing Service examinations with acceptable scores: 1. 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. 2. Upon recommendation of the department concerned, 12 quarter hours may be granted to a student with a grade of 2 on both parts of an advanced placement examination completed according to the conditions described in the paragraph above. Students interested in receiving credit under this policy should have results of the examination forwarded to the Registrar's Office. Extension or Correspondence Credit—Weber does not offer extension or correspondence courses at present. Transfer of ex- 39 |
