Note:  Any program directed or technical electives, all Allied Health programs, Associate of Science in Teaching (AST), and Technical Certificates requires “C” or better in all course work.
 

Physical Education (Activity Courses)

Physical Education Activity courses meet 2 hours per week for each semester hour of credit. To encourage students to develop and maintain an active, healthy lifestyle, designated Physical Education Activity Courses are repeatable for credit, but no more than 6 hours (in any combination) may be applied toward a degree. Each course has a maximum limit as well (see course description).

Adaptive Physical Education

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.
