Step 8: Use support services

First-Year Experience

If you’re new to the whole college thing, be sure to check out the First-Year Experience Program (FYE). This program includes a three-credit class (EDUC 1105-Introduction to the University) designed to help with your transition to the college experience. Improve your academic skills, explore majors and become familiar with campus resources. The class is offered at both WSU Ogden and WSU Davis.

Services for returning students

Step 5: Talk with an Advisor

Schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to navigate the more than 230 certificate and degree programs that Weber State offers. An advisor can also help you pick out classes that will work with your schedule and tell you about student resources that may be helpful. This listing breaks down the advisors by college and program, so it’s easy to find one for your area of study.

If you have been to college before…

You can log on to our online advising tool, CatTracks, to see how your credits will apply to a degree.

If you already know what you want to study…

Talk to the advisor for your program.

If you are undecided or a general studies student…

You can schedule an appointment with an advisor at Ogden or Davis campus, or at the West Center.

If you are unable to find your major or program advisor online…

Call the Student Success Center to be referred to the appropriate advisor: 801-626-6752 (option 5).

 

If you’re new here, be sure to check out Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 and Step 4…

 

Now onto Step 6.

How the West Center Was Won

Ch-ch-ch-changes

As you can see from the photos to the left, big changes are going on at the WSU West Center located in Roy.  What was once a dry and frozen wasteland is now a colorful fiesta.  For those of you who were afraid to try this place out before because of the rumors of zombie skeletons and ninjas hiding behind garbage piles, put your fears behind you! After a long and grueling battle against all that is evil, this place is now just as wonderful on the outside as it always has been on the inside. We’ve added an array of colorful window graphics to show how spacious the West Center is inside. We’ve also added new signs that are purple during the day and change to white in the evening (ahhh, magic…), so passersby can see our Roy location in all it’s glory.

It’s the Inside that Counts

“But,” you might ask, “what is so wonderful on the inside?” I might answer that question with another question.  “What is NOT wonderful about the inside of this place??”  This place is full of resources for people trying to get back to school.  We’ve already told you about the workshops that they have there (read this article here), but they also offer for-credit courses to help you fulfill your general education requirements.  In addition to that, you can take tests there, visit with an advisor, use the state-of-the-art computer lab, pick up your textbook order and so much more.

No More Excuses

So along with the zombies and ninjas, we’ve annihilated a few excuses for you.  No more “I can’t afford to become a brain-eating zombie.” No more “I’m allergic to ninja throwing stars.” And especially no more “I can’t drive all the way to campus.”  So what are you waiting for?

Little Known Resources: Free Workshops

Got Skills?

Do you have a friend who is just so good at everything?  I know you do. We all do.  This is the amazing person that can be baking the perfect crème brule one minute and go right to changing the oil in the family car.  How do they DO it? Well, yet again, Weber State is here to help and this time your knight in shining armor is coming from the WSU West Center and Davis Campus.

Free Workshops to the Rescue

The West Center and Davis Campus offer workshops that are absolutely jam packed with valuable information.  Some of them pertain to skills you can use to get back in to school and some are things you can use in your everyday life.  For example, this summer they are offering classes on:

  • Financial planning.
  • Communication strategies.
  • Summer time family fun ideas.
  • Methods of memorizing.

Did I mention that they are totally and absolutely free?

Online Workshops

Don’t have the time to stop by the workshops?  Well tons of awesome workshops from photography to weight-loss to child-rearing skills are available online.  These workshops are a little more in-depth and run $95 each.  They generally last for about 6 weeks each and do not count for college credit.  What better way to get yourself into the college going mode?  Not to mention you can cultivate some great skills along the way.
