ACT registration periods extend from the previous test date to approximately three weeks before the next. Testing centers are located in all the states and many foreign countries. It is recommended that students take the ACT as early as possible during their senior year of high school. Additional information may be obtained from high school principals or counselors, or by writing to ACT Registration Unit, P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240, or from the Weber State College Counseling and Testing Center. Because the results of the ACT assist advisers 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 have passed the Educational Testing Service examinations with acceptable scores: 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. Students interested in receiving credit under this policy should have results of the examination forwarded to the Registration Office. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is based on the assumption that students have gained the equivalent of formal classroom instruction in the liberal arts through non-tradi- 34 Academic Information tional ways; such as on-the-job training, residence in a foreign country, military experience or correspondence courses, etc. The CLEP consists of general and subject examinations. The general examinations are available in the areas of English Composition, Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Humanities, and Social Science-History. Subject examinations are available in 28 different subjects for credit in equivalent courses. A student who has been officially accepted and is presently enrolled at Weber State College may earn a maximum of 48 credit hours toward a degree on the basis of the CLEP examinations. The fee for the General Examinations is $15 for one test or $25 for two or more. The fee for each Subject Examination is $15. Therefore, if a student takes from two to five General Examinations and one Subject Examination, his total fee will be $40. The fee may be paid at the Cashier's Office. Students who are interested in taking the tests should register at the Counseling and Testing Center (Student Personnel Building, Room 206). The Subject Examinations will be given on Thursday of the third week of each month and the General Examinations on Saturday of the third week of each month. Students need to register two weeks prior to taking the examinations. Special Examinations—A student may take special examinations in courses not covered by the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or courses taken through the Advanced Placement Program. A student must be in residence, regularly registered at the time the request for examination is made. A special examination cannot be given in any course the student has taken as a no-credit or audit course. Credits earned by special examination are not considered part of the resident requirement. A maximum of 25 quarter hours of credit can be acquired by special examination. Credit will be given only with approval of the head of the department concerned. The maximum number of credit hours that may be granted at any one sitting is 15 quarter hours, or no more than three examinations. A student may not take examinations in more than one subject at any one sitting. A fee of $15 is charged for special examinations. 35
