Physical Education Requirements
 

All first-time entering students will be required to take two one-hour activity courses and the two-hour Health & Wellness class (PHED 1100.) The Health & Wellness class is a graduation requirement for all students except those graduating in the ADN Nursing program. The Health & Wellness requirement applies even if the student is exempt from activity courses. A student must select two different activity courses to fulfill the physical education requirement. Students enrolled in certificate programs with less than 20 hours of course work will not be required to complete these courses.

Veterans with 180 days or more active military duty must file a copy of their DD 214 with the Office of Enrollment Services to receive two hours of physical education activity course credit. Veterans exempting their activity requirement through military service are required to successfully complete PHED 1100 as a graduation requirement.

Most physical education courses (labeled PHED) meet twice a week and are assigned one (1) hour credit.

Physical education course grades are calculated in all grade point averages.

Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree from another institution will be considered to have met all physical education requirements for graduation from Abraham Baldwin College.
