Registration for online courses
occurs at the same time as registration for
on-campus courses.
Degree programs may require an additional
application process and/or completion of a set of
pre-requisite courses before you are allowed to take
major courses. This is called Advanced Standing.
Students are assigned a "Registration Appointment"
time based on the number of credit hours completed.
You may not register prior to your appointment time
and you have 24 hours after the appointed time to
complete your registration before you are blocked to
give other students their chance to register.
If a class you want is "closed" (filled) when it is
your turn to register you may contact the Instructor
or department offering the course to request a spot
on the waiting list (or to be allowed to register)
or select a different course/instructor. You may
also want to check the registration system again
periodically during the "open" registration period
to see if any students have dropped the course you
want. If a space has opened up, you may register for
it and drop one of your other courses, if desired.
Pre-requisites
Pre-requisites are courses that need to be taken to
provide a foundation for more advanced coursework.
These courses may be filled by taking the listed
course(s), placement testing, or transfer courses.
If you need a course for which there is a
pre-requisite and you believe that you have the
necessary transfer course or experience, you may
discuss a waiver of the requirement with the
Instructor or department offering the course.
Placement testing
Placement testing is a way to ensure that you are
beginning a series of courses at the appropriate
level. Placement testing for Math and English is
initially completed by the ACT for students entering
Weber State from high school. All students may
complete the COMPASS exam at the Testing Center in
the Student Services Center to ensure their
placement in Math and/or English is at the
appropriate level.
CLEP/challenge testing
Students may elect to take the CLEP tests for
General Education credit. See http://weber.edu/testingcenter/clep.htm
for tests available and the areas in which they
apply. Many departments also allow opportunities to
test out of course requirements for life
experience/knowledge. See your major department for
information on how to qualify for this type of
testing.
How to register
Registration may be done online at
https://applications.weber.edu/StudentApps/Default.asp,
in person, or (in some cases) on the telephone.
Online Registration
Once you've logged in to
https://applications.weber.edu/StudentApps/Default.asp,
follow these directions:
On the left hand side of the main menu, choose
"Search and Register for classes." You may use the
pull-down menus to narrow your search by department
(and course number, if desired), beginning time (if
you need a course at a certain time – don’t use this
for online courses), General Education areas (if you
need a course in a particular area, but aren’t
particular about what course), and by location (use
this option and select online courses), then click
on "search". A list that matches your search options
is displayed. Each course is listed with the
department abbreviation, course number, credit
hours, section, name of course, location,
instructor, whether there are pre-requisites (click
on yes to see the pre-reqs required if it is there),
how many seats (students) are allowed in the course,
and how many seats are left. If there are seats
left, click on the name of the course, which will
take you to an information page. Click on "register
for this course". You will be asked if you intended
to register for the course. Click "continue" and the
registration should be accepted. |
