| Courses and Graduation Requirement |
|
The college maintains a physical education requirement for graduation; however, the program carries no academic credit. A total of four courses is required. Students are encouraged, but not required to complete their PE requirement by the end of their sophmore year. Students receive credit for a team sport by participating on a varsity or junior varsity athletic team or by participating in 75 percent of games in a club or intramural sport. Lifetime credit will be given to students who participate in one of the lifetime physical education classes. A swim evaluation is administered during orientation to determine swimming ability and to offer guidance in course selection. Students who do not successfully complete a swim evaluation must register for an appropriate swimming class.
