Select/Change Option | Relocation to UP | Scheduling Tips
Movement Science Minor

Selection/Change of Option

The selection of an intended option must be made at the time of admission to the major. Please keep in mind the application process and special requirements for Athletic Training and the additional criteria for the Physical and Health Education Teacher Education Options. After this initial selection, students wishing to change to another option must request this change through the respective program office. Students who change from one option to another must fully understand that additional semesters of registration may be necessitated by this change.

Relocation to University Park

Commonwealth Campus students headed toward the KINES major should relocate to University Park when program essential courses can no longer be scheduled at their respective campus. To delay relocation beyond this time endangers a student's progress in fulfilling requirements for entrance to the major and/or option and in making normal progress within the selected degree program. Graduation plans for Athletic Training, Fitness Studies, Movement Science, and Physical and Health Education Teacher Education are included on our website to assist students/campus advisors in determining when it is essential for students to be at University Park. It is emphasized that KINES students must fulfill entrance requirements and be accepted into a major before reaching fifth semester classification in order to continue registration as degree candidates in the College. A registration "hold" preventing future registrations as an HHD student is automatically filed with the Registrar's Office for degree candidates who have not gained entrance to the major following the fourth semester.

Course Scheduling Tips

Graduation plans for all options, i.e., Athletic Training, Fitness Studies, Movement Science, and Physical and Health Education Teacher Education have been developed with campus students in mind. Opportunities for students to double count courses between major/option and general education are noted on the graduation plans by the appropriate general education notation (e.g., GQ, GN, GS, etc.). Questions related to scheduling should be directed to your advisor or the HHD College Contact and Referral Representative at your campus.
