Health, Kinesiology, and Applied Physiology Program Notes

Students are required to complete the appropriate profile for entry into the programs within the Department of Health, Kinesiology, and Applied Physiology (see Section 31.002 Programs and Admission Requirements — Profile).
Students entering the major, Athletic Therapy, and Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology programs should refer to Section 16.3.10 Academic Performance, and Section 31.003.1 Academic Performance Regulations — AGPA Requirements.
Students considering entry into the honours program should refer to Section 31.003 Degree Requirements which includes the honours regulations for the Faculty of Arts and Science.
In the Athletic Therapy program, CATA courses ( CATA 337, CATA 339, CATA 348, CATA 437, CATA 439, CATA 441, CATA 447, and CATA 462) that consist of both laboratories and lectures require a satisfactory performance (grade of C-) be obtained in each of the components for successful completion of the course. In addition, a minimum grade of B in relevant courses must be met to be enrolled in the Athletic Therapy internships ( CATA 475, CATA 485, CATA 495). The specific requirements are listed in the course notes.

All newly admitted students enter the BSc Major in Exercise Science. Admission to the BSc Honours in Exercise Science, BSc in Athletic Therapy (BScAT) or BSc in Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology is by internal transfer only. Upon completion of a specified list of courses, any student may submit a request for an internal transfer.

To be eligible to transfer from the BSc Major in Exercise Science into the BSc Honours in Exercise Science program, students must: 1) complete all courses in Stage I of the major, 2) have an assessment GPA of at least 3.30 for all program and elective courses, 3) have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 for all program and elective courses, and 4) have letter grades of C or above in all program and elective courses.
To be eligible to transfer from the BSc Major in Exercise Science into the BSc in Athletic Therapy (BScAT) or the BSc in Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology, students must complete all courses in Stage I of the major with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00.
Students who fail to meet the internal transfer requirements from the major to the honours, Athletic Therapy, or Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology program have two options. The first option is to remain in the major for the duration of their studies. The second option is to repeat some courses in Stage I of the major until the transfer requirements have been met.

The major, honours, and Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology (KCEP) programs are composed of three stages, whereas the Athletic Therapy (AT) program has four stages. To be eligible to register for courses in the next stage of a given program, students must complete all of the courses in a previous stage of their program. Please refer to the course maps that follow summarizing the courses students are required to take in each stage of the respective programs.
Students who fail to complete all the science prerequisites by the end of Stage II are prevented from progressing to the next stage of their program. In addition, it is strongly recommended that these students contact their academic advisor. The science prerequisite courses include BIOL 201; CHEM 205, CHEM 206; MATH 203, MATH 205; PHYS 204, PHYS 205, PHYS 206, PHYS 224, PHYS 225, PHYS 226 or their equivalents. Please note that PHYS 204 and PHYS 224 or their equivalents must be taken before registering for EXCI 351.

To be eligible to register for courses in Stage II of the major, students must complete all courses in Stage I of the major and be in acceptable standing (see Section 16.3.10 Academic Performance and Section 31.003.1 Academic Performance Regulations).
To be eligible to register for courses in Stage III of the major, students must complete all courses in Stage II of the major and be in acceptable standing (see Section 16.3.10 Academic Performance and Section 31.003.1 Academic Performance Regulations).

To be eligible to register for courses in Stage II of the honours, students must satisfy the honours internal transfer requirements.
To be eligible to register for courses in Stage III of the honours, students must: 1) have an assessment GPA of at least 3.30 for all program and elective courses, 2) have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 for all program and elective courses, and 3) have letter grades of C or above in all program and elective courses.

To be eligible to register for courses in Stage II of the KCEP, students must satisfy the KCEP program internal transfer requirements.
To be eligible to register for courses in Stage III of the KCEP, students must: 1) complete all courses in Stage II of the KCEP with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00, and 2) maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in all KCEP courses (Stages I and II).

To be eligible to register for courses in Stage II of the AT, students must satisfy the AT program internal transfer requirements.
To be eligible to register for courses in Stage III of the AT, students must: 1) complete all courses in Stage II of the AT with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00, and 2) maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in all AT program courses (Stages I and II).
To be eligible to register for courses in Stage IV of the AT program, students must: 1) complete all courses in Stage III of the AT program with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00, and 2) maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in all AT program courses (Stages I, II, and III).
