Get Credit For Courses That Are Not From Weber State

Unless a CE course is offered by Weber State, the university and our advising team are unable to see those courses or grades. To get those classes added to your WSU transcript, it will require you sending an official transcript from the other University to Weber State's admissions office once you complete the course and have received a final grade on that college transcript.

Sending Your Transcripts To WSU

Get Credit For AP Exams

Credit for AP Exams is subject to change depending on what school year the class was taken. You can get an idea of what your scores may count for at WSU by clicking here and choosing the academic year when you took your AP course.

Request to send your scores to Weber State when you sign up for the test. If you fail to do it during sign ups, students can login to College Board and complete the request at any time afterward. Please do this early as it can take months for the scores to get to WSU!

College Board Website To Send Scores to WSU

In addition to sending the score here, there is a posting process to complete in order to get the credit added onto your WSU transcript. This is something that only needs to be completed once in your lifetime at WSU. This requires a $10 fee through the cashiers office and a stamped application for test credit after paying that is provided to the admissions office. See more details by clicking here.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY (FERPA)

Your student records are protected under FERPA, which means no one other than you is allowed to access your student records (not even parents!). We recommend students add a parent/guardian to assist them while in high school.

You can fill out the form through the "Student Information Release Form" app in your eWeber portal. As you fill out the form, your parent/guardian will need to come up with an Access Code they will provide when they need to access your records. Select all of the boxes in section D and then in section E, choose view and update and then add.

Declare A Degree

If wanting to declare for another program or degree that is not the Associate of Science in General Studies, utilize the Dual Enrollment Program of Study Form found on our DE graduation page.

Declare a new program of study

Graduate With A Degree Or Certificate

To graduate with a degree or certificate, complete the Graduation Application in the eWeber Portal for the degree or certificate you are completing. Pick up your cap and gown at the Grad Finale Event and check the commencement ceremony page to know when and where your convocation will be.
