3. Additional Requirements

A. 3.00 units in the Plan must be selected from each of the following course lists: KINE_Labs; KINE_Exercise_Options; KINE_Socio-Cultural_Options; KINE_Health_Promo_Options.

B. No more than 12.00 units from KINE_Professional_Options may be used to satisfy the Plan requirements.

4. Notes

A. PACT courses may not be used towards the requirements of this degree program. This includes any elective requirements.

B. Students interested in being accepted into the Athletic Therapy or Strength and Conditioning “mini-stream” will apply at the end of first year for the limited number of spaces that are available. Students accepted into these streams will be permitted to access the entry level courses ʷ331 or ʷ345 starting in their second year.

C. Students in the KINE-P-BSH Plan are permitted to complete only one “mini-stream” towards the requirements for their degree plan.

D. A maximum of 6.00 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, HSCI, LAW, NURS, and courses offered by Smith Engineering.

Kinesiology Course Lists

The following lists contain courses offered through other Departments. In accordance with Academic Regulation 2.6 (Access to Classes), students do not have enrolment priority in all of these courses. Access to these courses may only be made available during the Open Enrolment period, and then only if space permits.

Note that the unit weighting system in Smith Engineering differs from that in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Therefore, upon acceptance of any course from Smith Engineering, the unit weighting towards Arts and Science degree requirements shall be at the discretion of the Associate Dean (Academic). Usually, a one-term course shall count as 3.00 units and a two-term course as 6.00 units.
