How Do I Get Started?

Summer and Fall 2012 registration is in progress. 

Welcome to Weber State Automotive!  

To get started with Weber State Automotive, complete the following steps:  Call 801-626-6579 for assistance. 

New Students:
  1. If desired, setup a tour of the WSU campus, attend student orientation, and learn what student activities are available.
  2. Decide which Weber State Automotive program is of interest to you.  Choose one of the following options: a 1-year Institutional Certificate, six 2-year A.A.S. Associate of Applied Science degree options and three 4-year B.S. Bachelor of Science degree options.
  3. Make sure you are aware of the cost of Tuition and Fees. 
  4. If needed, make sure you are aware of the cost of on-campus housing.
  5. Obtain a copy of your driving record.  Most employers cannot hire you if you have too many moving violations.  Typically more than one moving violation in three years is a problem. Keep your driving record clean from this day forward, keeping your job is dependent on it.
  6. Be aware that most employers will do a background check and will test for drugs before offering a job to you.  Be professional, keep yourself clean and ready for employment.
  7. Apply for admissions to WSU. Declare your automotive major (program of study) as the program you decided upon in step two.  
  8. Apply for Scholarships and Financial Aid
  9. Apply for Automotive Specific Scholarships
  10. Contact your program coordinator to obtain the suggested course sequence and to determine if there are any additional program specific requirements.  Each A.A.S. degree option and B.S. degree option has a specific program coordinator.
  11. Take the Accuplacer placement exam to determine which English and Math class you will need.
  12. View the class schedule and decide which classes will fit your needs.
  13. Register for your classes as soon as possible. General education classes fill up quickly but tend to have open seats towards the first day of school.
  14. Determine which textbooks you will need.
  15. If needed, purchase a parking permit.
  16. Obtain a WSU Student Identification Card.
  17. A.A.S. Students, make a plan to begin purchasing the recommended tools.
  18. Be aware of the WSU policies regarding Acceptable use of computers and the Student Code of Conduct.

Transfer students:

 

Students who have completed college level courses from an accredited college or university will need to have their records transferred to WSU as part of their New Student application process.

 

  • Check the WSU transfer Guide to see which of your classes will transfer, classes not in the guide will have to be evaluated by WSU personnel to determine their transferability.

  • Credits from Universal Technical Institute (UTI), Wyotech, and similar "for-profit" institutions are not college level courses and will not directly transfer to Weber State University; however, challenge examination credit and experiential credit may be available for students with ASE certifications and at least 5 years of industry experience. 

  • Check with your institution to determine if their classes are transferrable to a local state university. If they are,then they will probably also transfer to WSU.. 

  • Call  801-626-7183 or email jkelly1@weber.edu for more information or to schedule an appointment to review your transfer record.
