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 1100C.) 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

exempting their activity requirement through military service are required to
successfully complete PHED 1100C as a graduation requirement.

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.
