• Registration Tuition and Student Fees • General Informatio Credit/No Credit Registration Students may register for classes on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis according to the following criteria: a) Freshmen students may register for only one CR/NC class each quarter; b) Students who have completed 44 hours of college credit and who are not on academic warning or probation may register for a maximum of two classes for CR/ NC each quarter. Students should declare their intent to register for CR/NC coursework at the time of their original registration but will be permitted to make a change within the first six weeks (or 60%) of the quarter. A maximum of 30 hours of CR/NC courses may be applied toward graduation. Students who stop attending a class for which they are registered CR/NC without properly withdrawing, will be subject to a UW (Unofficial Withdrawal) grade which is counted as an "E" when grades are computed. (See Credit/ No-Credit policy for additional important information. Consult index for page number.) Please be aware that many institutions of higher education regard "NC" grades as failures and "Credit" grades as C's, and enter them as such when evaluating transfer credit. If you anticipate transferring to another college or university, it would be to your advantage to contact that school in advance to determine their policy. Freshmen Registration Freshmen students are encouraged not to register for upper division classes (those numbered 300 and above). However, they may register for such classes if they have completed all prerequisite classes with a grade of "B" or better and have obtained the approval of the instructor or the department chair. Sophomore students may register for upper division classes with the approval of either the class instructor or the department chair. Late Registration Late registration is allowed during the first week of school each quarter. Students registering late are subject to a late registration fee. Maximum Credit Registration Maximum registration without special permission is 20 credit hours per quarter. Students may petition for additional credit hours but they must meet the criteria set forth in the school policy. Petition forms, available in the academic department offices or the Registration Office, explain the policy and procedure governing petitions for excess credit hours. Students should have both a cumulative and a previous quarter grade point average of 3.00 (B) or higher before petitioning. Registration Credit Hour Loads A normal credit-hour load per quarter is 15 quarter hours; but undergraduate students are classified as full-time with 12 or more credit hours; as three-quarter time with 9 credit hours; and as half-time with 6 credit hours. Graduate students are classified as full-time students with a 6-credit hour load. Registration for Currently Enrolled Students During each quarter, currently enrolled students will be ! given an opportunity to register for the following quarter. I Registration priority is assigned by class standing with seniors having first option, followed by juniors, etc. Residency The Admissions Office classifies all applicants as either resident or non-resident. If there is doubt concerning resident status, an applicant is classified as a non-resident. Non-residents who have reason to believe they can qualify for resident status should file a petition with the Admissions Office before registering. The deadline for residency application is the Friday prior to the start of school each quarter. Applications not on file, with all necessary supporting documents, by the deadline, will be considered for residency status for the next quarter. Petition forms are available in the Admissions Office. Each petition will be considered in accordance with the provisions of Title 53-34-2.2 of the Utah Code, excerpts of which are listed below: 1. The meaning of the word "resident" 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: 2. An adult who has come to Utah and established residency here for the purpose of attending an institution of higher education must maintain continuous Utah residency status for one full year prior to the beginning of the academic period for which registration as a resident student is sought, and, in each case, must demonstrate by additional objective evidence the establishment of a domicile in Utah and that the student does not maintain a residence elsewhere. 3. Personnel of the United States Armed Forces assigned to active duty in Utah, and the immediate members of their families residing with them in this state shall be entitled to resident status for tuition purposes, provided that the active duty assignment in Utah has not been for the purposes of having the individual assigned attend an institution of higher education. Upon the termination of active duty status, such military personnel and their family members are governed by the standards applicable to non-military persons. 4. Aliens who are present in the United States on visitor, student, or other visas which authorize only temporary presence in this country, do not have the capacity to intend to reside in Utah for an indefinite period and therefore must be classified as nonresidents. Aliens who have been granted immigrant or permanent resident status in the United States must have, in their possession, a green card issued by immigration and shall be classified for purposes of resident status according to the same criteria applicable to citizens. 5. Any Native American who is enrolled on the tribal rolls of a tribe whose reservation or trust lands lie partly or wholly within Utah or whose border is at any point contiguous with the border of Utah or any American Indian who is a member of a federally recognized or known Utah tribe and who has graduated from a high school in Utah, shall be entitled to resident status. 6. A determination by an institution of higher education under this section that a person is a resident shall be honored by other institutions unless the determination was obtained by false pretenses or the facts which existed at the time of the determination have materially changed. Applicants whose credentials indicate out-of-state status are classified as non-residents. All requests for resident classification must be filed with the Admissions Office. Senior Citizen Registration Utah residents age 62 and over are permitted to enroll, on a space available basis, at any of the state's public universities and colleges, on a tuition-free, audit basis. Senior citizens will be required to complete an application for Admission and pay a one-time $10 application fee. They will also be required to pay a $10 per quarter administrative fee. Where applicable, senior citizens will be charged a fee for use of consummable materials. Withdrawal Withdrawal from Individual Classes: Students may withdraw from individual classes during the first six weeks (or 60%) of the quarter. Individual classes may not be dropped during the final four weeks (or 40%) of the quarter. (See "Withdrawal from School" below.) No entry will appear on the transcripts of those students who drop individual classes during the first three weeks (or 30%) of the quarter (see "Changes in Registration"). A "W" (Withdrawal) will appear on the records of those students who withdraw from individual classes between the end of third week and the end of the sixth week. Students who stop attending a class without officially withdrawing will receive a "UW" (Unofficial Withdrawal) for that class. The complete policy and procedure for making registration changes and the schedule of deadlines for making them are published each quarter in the class schedule. Withdrawal from School: Students are permitted to completely withdraw from school during any given quarter up to and including the last day of instruction prior to final exam week. Students withdrawing from school must obtain a Withdrawal from School form from the Registration Office and process it according to instructions. The notation "Registered and Withdrew" and the date will appear on the records of those students who completely withdraw from school after paying tuition and fees. Dead Week (Academic Study Week) Academic Study Week (Dead Week) is designated as the five class days preceding the final examination period. This week was designed to provide students with an opportunity to review course information and to synthesize concepts in preparation for the final examination. Instructors are requested to honor dead week by using their lecture periods in assisting students in the synthesizing process. Examinations and assignments should be avoided during Dead Week with the exception of make-up examinations requested by individual students. TUITION AND STUDENT FEES Tuition and student fees are established by the Utah State Board of Regents, and are subject to change without notice. Twelve credit hours per quarter constitute a full load for tuition purposes. Resident or non-resident students enrolled for twelve or more quarter hours will be assessed full tuition. Part-time resident or non-resident students (those enrolled for less than twelve credit hours) are assessed tuition on a per credit hour basis proportionate to the tuition paid by full-time students. Consult the quarterly class schedule for current tuition and fees. The Financial Aids section of this catalog has a table which a student may consult to determine approximate costs to attend Weber State, including tuition and fees. Note: The institution reserves the right to place financial holds on Registration, Transcripts, and Graduation for any student owing the institution money or who has had a dishonored check. Audit Classes Charges for auditing a class are at the same rate as regular credit classes and such hours will be counted as part of the student's total credit hour load for tuition calculation purposes only. Continuing Education and Off-Campus Students enrolled in credit classes offered by Continuing Education are ordinarily assessed tuition on the same credit hour basis as provided in the regular tuition schedule shown in the quarterly class schedule.
