Course Exemptions/Exceptions to Policy

Students who are medically or physically disabled may be exempt from the one-hour physical education requirement. A physician’s statement is required and should be brought to the Office of Academic Affairs. Exemption from the physical education requirement does not reduce the total number of hours required for graduation.

Students who have had prior military service may receive two hours of physical education credit for basic training or its equivalent, upon review of official military transcripts. To obtain credit, students should submit to the Registrar’s Office a copy of their American Council on Education transcript.

Additional exceptions to policy may be made with an approved Exception to Policy with final approval from the Provost.
