The Division of Continuing Education was established as an integral component of Weber State College to design and deliver educational opportunities to the lifelong learner. This includes the adult learner who may be interested in advancing in his or her present field; preparing for a new career; coping with home and family roles or developing personal interests; or the young learner who may be interested in obtaining supplemental computer skills, or learning how to paint, dance or to play a musical instrument In pursuit of its mission, Continuing Education offers a broad spectrum of educational programs for those who want to learn for life. The educational experiences range from credit courses that lead toward a degree and non-credit courses, workshops or seminars in career skills to short courses and seminars in personal interest areas and courses for children. These programs are scheduled at times and places convenient to lifelong learners. Since career, family or personal commitments may prevent lifelong learners from attending regularly scheduled courses during the day, Continuing Education has developed a flexible schedule of offerings during the day, evenings and weekends at many convenient locations throughout the area (and even self-directed courses). Academic Credit Programs The academic credit programs include any on-campus evening or weekend school or off-campus location that involves the awarding of Weber State College academic credit. These range from the offering of one Weber State College course to an entire Bachelor of Science degree offered over a period of years. Off- campus academic programs now in place include: Hill Air Force Base; Clearfield High School; Defense Depot - Ogden; Hercules (Freeport); Dugway Army Proving Grounds; Salt Lake City Area (CLEE); Salt Lake City - Utah Technical College; Provo - Utah Technical College; Southern Utah Area (Education). Adult Student Services Weber State College recognizes the fact that there is a nationwide trend for the adult population to return to the college campus to pursue an education. The adult student is quickly becoming the traditional student Many adult students over the age of 23 are entering college for the first time or are returning to the campus after an interruption of several years, and have special needs. The Office of Adult Student Services is aware of these students' special needs and is ready to ensure a sensitive response to them. This office coordinates with other campus departments to assist the adult student with registration, academic advisement, men's and women's special concerns, transitional and reentry problems, counseling, career planning and placement, assertiveness training, stress management student loans, etc. The Office of Adult Student Services can help to make college education an exciting and rewarding experience. Community Services Community Services is an extension of Weber State College which seeks to determine and meet community needs. Community Service staff members provide college faculty and students the opportunity to assist in the solution of a variety of short-range and long-range community problems identified by citizens and organizations. For example, the behind-the-scene efforts of Community Service personnel, college faculty and students have resulted in the establishment of a community-based Corrections Center for Women in Northern Utah; the passing of the Spouse Abuse Act by the 1979 Utah Legislature which gives more protection to abused spouses by more accurately defining the role of law enforcement, the judiciary and the Department of Social Services; a more solid funding base for services to victims of domestic violence. Beyond their catalytic and technical assistant roles, Community Service staff, with the assistance of the Office of Grants and Contracts, has aided communities in locating supporting funds for service projects that are outside the role of the college. More direct services include financial and housing counseling for persons referred to Housing and Urban Development in Northern Utah, the Weber State College Achievement Home for boys adjudicated as seriously delinquent by the First District Juvenile Court, training programs for the Utah Department of Social Services and the Utah Academy of Performing Arts. Distance Learning Programs Distance Learning Programs include the independent study program, the telecourse program and new programs to be opened at distant locations. This area also includes "Flex-Study" courses designed for students who work rotating shifts or have other commitments that will not allow them to pursue day, evening or weekend courses.
