Physical Education Credit Limitation
Non-physical education majors are not allowed to count more than six semester hours of PE activity courses towards their required number of hours for graduation.
PE Wellness Literacy Modules
As part of the General Education Wellness Literacy requirements, students must complete a series of wellness modules to earn credit for their wellness courses. Transfer students who take PE activity courses at other institutions did not complete this wellness component, so their transfer PE courses are granted credit but NOT given equivalent credit for Wellness Literacy until these modules have been completed. These courses transfer in as "PE ACTV" courses and will be used in fallthrough or free electives but not in the Wellness General Education area. Students who have these courses on their transcripts will have a message next to their Wellness Literacy requirement in DegreeWorks explaining that they must complete the wellness modules to move their PE ACTV into General Education.
Effective Summer 2017, new transfer students who take PE activity courses at other institutions and received credit are given equivalent credit for the Wellness Literacy modules.
For each PE course a student takes, they must complete three Wellness Literacy modules in order to receive credit for the course. If the student completes the course and does not complete the modules, they will fail the course. The first PE course are modules 1-3 and the second PE course are modules 4-6. If all 6 modules have been successfully completed and the student enrolls in a third PE course, they will not have to complete additional modules. The student will receive information on how to purchase the modules in the course syllabus. Click PE Activity Course Wellness Literacy Module for more information.
