Faculty of Kinesiology 3. Faculty Regulations 3.2 Registration3.2 Registration
Course Load
Faculty of Kinesiology students are permitted to enrol in 15 units in each of the Fall and Winter academic terms. It should be stressed that extra courses represent substantial burdens and may negatively impact overall performance. Opportunities for accelerated progress exist through courses offered in Spring and Summer Intersession. A student wishing to complete more than the normal load of 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) per Fall or Winter term must receive special permission from the Kinesiology Advising Office. Permission will not be granted for the admission term. |
Interruption of Program Leading to a Degree
Students who interrupt their degree program in the Faculty of Kinesiology are advised that after an absence of one calendar year (twelve consecutive months) from academic study at the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, they may be required to comply with any regulation and curriculum change that may have come into effect. Students who do not attend the Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà for two or more years (twenty-four consecutive months or greater) will be required to apply for admission and meet all admission requirements and deadlines for the year to which they apply. |
Transfer Credit from Other Institutions
No more than 60 units (10.0 full-course equivalents) completed at other institutions or in a previously completed Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà degree may be used as transfer of credit in the degree. Students must have obtained a minimum grade of "D" or its equivalent in courses proposed for transfer of credit. Grades obtained in transfer courses may be used in the computation of grade point averages for graduation purposes at the discretion of the Faculty. A maximum of 27 units (4.5 full-course equivalents) of Kinesiology Core courses (listed under 4. Program Details) may be transferred from other institutions. The Faculty reserves the right to determine any student's sequence of courses; credit for a course will not be awarded unless the prerequisite for that course (as listed in the Calendar) has been completed with a minimum grade of "C-". Prior to registering for courses at a school outside the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ, students must submit a Letter of Permission request, via their Student Centre and receive approval. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a Faculty advisor prior to submitting their request. It is the responsibility of the student to provide full details of the courses proposed for transfer credit at the time of application. It is also the responsibility of the student to ensure that upon completion of the courses an official transcript is forwarded to the Admissions Office of this University in order that the appropriate credit may be officially recorded. |
Withdrawal from Courses
A student may withdraw from any course via the student registration system by the deadline as specified in the Academic Schedule. Before withdrawing from any course, it is strongly recommended a student seek advice from the instructor and the Advising Office. Students wishing to withdraw completely from the University should refer to the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar. Students will not be permitted to withdraw more than once from a particular course. Students will be required to withdraw from the Faculty once they have accumulated 30 units of withdrawals while in attendance at the Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ. |
Repetition of Courses
A student may repeat a course previously attempted (excluding withdrawals) only once. To repeat a course more than once requires the permission of the faculty in which the student is registered and the department offering the course. Permission is granted only under exceptional circumstances. Taking or repeating a course that is a prerequisite for a higher level course after having completed the higher level course with a grade of "C-" or better will be allowed only with the permission of both the faculty in which the student is registered and the department offering the course. |
