BASIC PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The basic physical education requirement at the University of Georgia consists of general education physical activity courses offered by the Department of Kinesiology that meet the University requirement for physical education.
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the basic physical education at the University of Georgia is to promote lifelong physical activity and fitness for the enhancement of health and well-being. Increases in regular physical activity and fitness are influenced by people’s confidence in the ability to engage in regular exercise and positive beliefs concerning the benefits of physical activity and fitness. Motivation to increase physical activity and fitness can be enhanced by incorporating fitness knowledge about fitness and behavior modification principles into activity classes. The adoption of positive health behaviors by students has the potential to significantly improve the lifelong health benefits for all UGA graduates.
UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENT
All students entering the University fall 1991, and thereafter, who matriculate for their first baccalaureate degree are required to pass one semester credit hour of basic physical education. This requirement may be satisfied by successful completion of any combination of basic physical education courses. The above requirements are applicable to all students except as follows:
- Veterans: Veterans who have served 180 days or more may receive credit based on their military service, depending on date of matriculation. Veterans may receive no more credit for basic physical education courses than is required for a degree. To establish credit, veterans will be required to present a copy of their DD214 form to the Admissions Office.
- Army and Air Force ROTC Participants: Students who have successfully completed the Army ROTC Advanced Camp or the Air Force ROTC Field Training Encampment shall be considered to have met the basic physical education requirement, if they have not already satisfied it with basic physical education course work.
- Disabled Students: Adapted physical education classes are available to facilitate the meeting of the University physical education requirement by disabled students. Policies with regard to physical education for disabled students are as follows:
The Department of Kinesiology is committed to fulfilling the physical education needs of all students. An adapted physical education course (PEDB 1010) is included as a part of basic physical education offerings for students who, because of temporary or permanent disability or medical conditions, cannot participate in the mainstream physical education courses. It is through this adapted course that, with few exceptions, all students are able to satisfy the basic physical education requirement. It is through this adapted program that, with few exceptions, all students are able to satisfy the basic physical education requirement. Students with health problems or disabilities should consult with the staff physician at the University Health Service. Students will in turn be referred to the adapted physical education specialist who works in concert with the University staff physician, and subsequently will be placed in appropriate physical education activities. There are no exceptions to the physical education requirement for reasons of age, sex, or disability except upon special recommendation by a medical doctor.
