Each course has a maximum limit as well (see course description).

Students with Adaptive Physical Education needs may enroll in any of a number of regular Physical Education activity classes. These classes routinely begin with evaluation of each student’s physical profile and establish a personalized training or conditioning program based on the individual’s needs. A wide range of adaptations may be implemented, limited by considerations of the student’s personal safety and abilities and reasonable and appropriate use of the College’s equipment and facilities.
