College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology Graduate Student Support FAQs

Student Access & Success has a number of support centers that promote student learning, well-being, and success through comprehensive services and programs provided in a welcoming environment. 

The Stewart Library has laptops and hotspots available for checkout to currently enrolled WSU college students only. 

See the Academic Calendar for important dates, including when registration opens, dates to withdraw, declare credit/no credit, or audit block and semester courses.

You can register for classes either through the Register for Classes app or the Registration Schedule Builder app in the eWeber portal. Learn how HERE.

Contact the Office of the Bursar for questions not answered below.

Students must have one or more of the following established by the Friday before their classes begin:

    Balance paid in full out-of-pocket     Be enrolled in a Monthly Payment Plan

 

If financial aid/scholarships will not cover the balance due, then the remaining portion must be paid out of pocket by payment deadline. If you register AFTER the first day of class, tuition and fee payment must be made immediately. All unpaid tuition and fees will be subject to late/collection fees, interest, and a hold preventing further registration adjustments or the printing of transcripts.

•     Have Financial Aid scheduled to disburse
•     Have all Employer Tuition Assistance forms submitted to the Cashier's Office
•     Have all non-WSU scholarship checks submitted to the Cashier's Office

See refund dates HERE. Note that Weber State University does NOT drop courses for nonpayment or nonattendance. 
Students are responsible for dropping courses they do not plan to attend.  Tuition and fees will not be waived for nonattendance.  Once registered, each student is obligated to pay for their courses unless the student has dropped courses or the student completes a total withdraw from school during the 100% refund period.  If a student drops or completely withdraws from school after the 100% refund period, the student is obligated to pay tuition and fees according to the current semester refund schedule.  Also, a student must pay for a dropped course by the payment deadline to avoid late fees and interest. 

The process for applying for financial aid is the same for graduate students as for undergraduate students. Student aid can be a combination of loans, grants or scholarships. Visit the WSU Financial Aid website for more information.

Weber State University participates in the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP), administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Through WRGP, Weber State offers a resident tuition rate to qualified nonresident students from other WICHE member states for all of our graduate programs. Individual programs will have more information available about this scholarship opportunity.

No separate application is required. However, you will need to declare your residency to one of the WICHE states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, U.S. Pacific Territories and Freely Associated States (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam), Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

Depending on your graduate program, you may have the option between a coursework, thesis, or project track. Consider the information below when choosing your track:

Thesis Track is for students who are interested in being introduced to research and development and are considering the possibility of pursuing their doctorate (Ph.D.).

Project Track is for students with an industry-minded perspective and requires a formal design project report. It is designed to prepare graduates for employment requiring advanced design in industry.

Coursework Track is for students seeking to increase their technical depth in the industry.
