Physical Education Courses
All Physical Education activity
courses stress the recreational and
carry-over values of that activity
rather than the ability or
performance level of the student.
One credit courses are offered on a
quarter basis and meet for two hours
of class per week for a half
semester. Grading is on a "pass or
fail" basis contingent upon
attendance and participation in the
activity. A maximum of four one-
credit physical education courses
are applicable toward graduation,
but these courses are not required.
Students are encouraged to register
for second and fourth quarter
classes during regular fall and
spring registration.
