Academic Standards Graduation REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO A CERTIFICATE PROGRAM The certificate programs are designed to provide from one to two years of instruction in Auto Body, Automotive Service, Cosmetology, Diesel, Machine Tool, Welding, and Secretarial Training. High School graduation is desirable but not required. An applicant who is not a high school graduate must be 18 years of age or over, and receive the approval of the Admissions Committee and department concerned. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Emil O. Hanson, Director The Academic Standards Program exists to help students perform more nearly in accordance with their potential. Any student whose graded performance is lower than he thinks it should be, may, at his request, receive evaluation of and help concerning ability, study skill, choice of major, and personal problems. All such students whose cumulative grade average is below a C or 2.0 level and all students whose quarterly grade average is below a D or 1.0 level will be placed on warning as indicated below. All students will not be eligible to participate in certain college-sponsored activities. (See Eligibility Standards.) 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 a counselor in Counseling Services. 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.

Hanson, Director Weber State College grants the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science; titles of Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, and Associate of Applied Science; a Certificate of Completion, and a Certificate of Proficiency.
