[For the Class of 2009 and subsequent classes] The graduation requirement in Physical Education is as follows: 

• Davidson 101, required of all students, including transfers, during their first semester at Davidson;
• two (2) Lifetime Activity credits (courses numbered PE 2xx, 3xx, and 5xx;) and
• one team sport credit (PE 4xx). 

The Davidson 101 requirement must be completed in the first semester of the first year at Davidson.  Students are encouraged, but not required, to complete the physical education requirement by the end of their sophomore year. 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 as one of their Lifetime Activity credits.
