The Faculty of Human Kinetics is comprised of two Departments: Kinesiology, which is responsible for academic programs, and Athletics and Recreational Services, which directs intercollegiate competition, as well as intramural and community sport and recreation programs. The emphasis in the Department of Kinesiology is upon providing students with an understanding of human physical activity in its broadest sense, rather than upon the details of professional practice and teaching methodologies. A Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree may be earned in the Department of Kinesiology either through a regular, eight-term program of study, or through the twelve-term Co-operative Education Program, which combines classroom and related work term experiences. In both programs, students follow a common core of Kinesiology and other courses and then specialize in one of three honours majors: Movement Science, Sport Management or Leisure Studies. The Faculty also offers a Master of Human Kinetics degree.
Students who are entering the Department of Kinesiology for the first time, as well as returning students, should obtain academic advising prior to registration for each academic term. Advising is provided by the Undergraduate Program Co-ordinator and/or a designate.
If a student repeats a course in which a grade of D+, D, D-, F, or F- was first obtained, then the second grade will be the only one calculated into the cumulative and major averages. However, the original attempt and grade remain on the student's transcript.
The Academic Standing Committee of the Department of Kinesiology reviews the academic record of students at the conclusion of each term and makes academic decisions as appropriate in light of the cumulative average achieved. 1) The minimum requirement for continuation "in good standing" is a cumulative average of 5.0. 2) If a student has not met the minimum cumulative average requirement at the end of any term the student automatically will be placed on probation. 3) If a student has not met the minimum cumulative average requirement, the student's record will be referred to the Academic Standing Committee for decision.
4) A student who has been required to withdraw may not register in the Department of Kinesiology for twelve months and must apply for re-admission through the Office of the Registrar by the appropriate deadline date for the term desired. Students must include a statement of rationale with their application. Re-admission to the faculty is not automatic and will be dependent upon the Academic Standing Committee's assessment of the applicant's prospects for successful completion of the program. If re-admitted, the student will retain credit for only the courses passed with a grade of C- or higher from the last term of registration in Kinesiology. A re-admitted student will be placed on probation and must raise his/her cumulative average to 5.0 by the next evaluation period and must satisfy any additional conditions of admission which may have been placed by the Academic Standing Committee. If the student fails to meet such requirements he/she normally will be required to withdraw. A student who has been required to withdraw a second time will not be eligible for re-admission under any conditions.
To graduate with a Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree in a particular honours major, a student must meet all of that program's course requirements and obtain a cumulative average of 5.0 or better. On the basis of the final cumulative average, the student will receive the degree with First (11.0 to 13.0), Second (8.0 to 10.9), or Third (5.0 to 7.9) Class Honours.
A student with a major average of 10.0 or better after the previous term may be allowed to take one course in addition to the normal load in a given term with the approval of the Undergraduate Program Co-ordinator. The usual extra course fee will apply.
Except for Faculty of Science courses offered specifically for students in the biological or health sciences, no course offered by another department/school/faculty which is not available for credit towards a major in its own programs may be taken for credit as an option in a Kinesiology program. As courses in computer uses and concepts, statistics, and research methods are required Kinesiology courses, credit as options will not be allowed for similar courses offered by other departments.
