Activities Program

Requirements

 

 

Lifetime Fitness Foundation

All students entering beginning in Fall 2006 and forward, must successfully complete one Lifetime Fitness course (a LFIT course number 102-113) during their first year of study.  This course will combine instruction in, and practice of a sport or physical activity, that can be sustained in later life together with instruction in life-long health. The course will carry one hour of graded academic credit that will count toward the required total for graduation and for the determination of full-time status in the semester in which the course is taken. This requirement may be completed even if the course is declared Pass/D/Fail.  Students may elect to take an additional PHYA course in future semesters.

Physical Education Activities Program

One semester of a physical education activity courses are required of every undergraduate student who are enrolled prior to Fall 2006 (in addition to the 120 academic hour graduation requirement).

  • One physical education activity course taken at another institution will exempt a student from the requirement; however, the student will not receive hours of transfer credit.

  • Although one physical education activity course is required of all students, this course may be taken pass-fail during the fall and spring (not during the summer). A student is not advised to sign up for the pass-fail option unless he/she has inadequate skill potential or expects automatic grades of A.

  • Students may take additional physical education courses beyond the requirement.
