Show An out-of-state student may take the tests during the week prior to registration or he can submit the results of the American College Tests or the College Board Tests in lieu of the regular battery. Any student who desires it may visit with a counselor prior to his first registration to assist him in a choice of major and in making other educational plans. Call the Student Personnel Office for an appointment. Special help is available during August and September. 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 State 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 service of his adviser, the Guidance Office, his division head, or his instructors. Weber State 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. 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 State College. It is necessary that all veterans who attend Weber State College under one of the Public Laws clear through the 56 office of the Veteran Coordinator. MILITARY SERVICE OBLIGATION AND COLLEGE DEFERMENTS All male citizens are required to register with their draft board within five days after they become eighteen years of age. They will then be mailed a registration or selective service number. At eighteen and a half years they are mailed a form which they are required to fill out and return. They are subsequently given a classification. Reserve ProgramsStudents may prefer to meet their obligation by joining a reserve or national guard unit. Direct contact should be made with the unit in which the student is interested. College DefermentDeferment for college attendance is available for some. There is no action required on this, however, until one has been physically examined and qualified for service. If a student is interested in a college deferment, he should contact his draft board and arrange to supply evidence of his registration at the college to the board. To be deferred any student must be a full-time student and carry fifteen or more hours and must obtain a satisfactory grade point average. Extending one's education before he performs his military duty not only improves his capacity to serve his country but also increases his chance for advancement during his service time. FOREIGN STUDENTS' ADVISER The Foreign Students' Adviser will confer with each foreign student on his needs and problems. He will be responsible to assign these students to such special courses as may be required to help them with their problems. He will also serve as a consultant on the admission of all foreign students. HEALTH SERVICE, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES FOR PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS The Health Service of Weber State College has been established for the education and protection of students. The services offered are: (1) evaluation of the medical examination given by the family physician, (2) follow-up for the correction of remediable defects, (3) adequate care in case of accidents and sudden illness, (4) procedures to control communicable diseases, (5) a program of accident prevention. 57 |
