Physical education course work is required of all students in many degree programs. Any student who, for medical or other valid reasons, believes he or she cannot participate in physical education should discuss this with the Coordinator of Student Accommodations and Testing Services. The Coordinator’s recommendation regarding a waiver of physical education will be forwarded to the Vice President of Academic Affairs for final action.
Physical Education Credit for Intercollegiate Sport Policy
Student athletes successfully completing an intercollegiate sport at Jefferson Community College shall receive credit toward the physical education graduation requirement. Only those student athletes whose names appear on the NJCAA eligibility form are eligible for consideration under these guidelines. The eligibility form serves as a “class roster” for registration purposes.
Student athletes may earn credit for each intercollegiate sport season played.
Student athletes may not receive physical education credit in a physical education activity which duplicates the intercollegiate sport for which they receive credit.
Guideline dates for reporting grades for those “Intercollegiate Athletic Participation Courses” would be exactly the same as any other course on this campus, that is, the date for “Final Grades Due” as it appears in the College Catalog. Only grades A, Y, W, or Z are used for these courses.
