b) achieve a minimum grade of 鈥淒鈥 in all required BPEC-program courses in which they are registered; and
c) must register in a minimum of 24 credits F/T or 9 credits P/T annually; and
d) full-Time students must achieve a Mastery (MAS) grade in a minimum of 2.5 fieldwork/portfolio credits per academic year. This requirement is waived once students only have SPSC 4101 and SPSC 4211 remaining. Part-Time students must achieve a Mastery (MAS) grade in a minimum of 1 fieldwork/portfolio credit per academic year. This requirement is waived once students only have SPSC 4101 and SPSC 4211 remaining.
If any of the above criteria are not met, students may be placed on BPEC program probation for 1 year. The BPEC coordinator/staff will notify any students placed on BPEC program probation between April to June of each year. Failure of a subsequent course OR non-enrollment in a fieldwork/portfolio course OR a program GPA below 2.00 during the probationary period may result in removal from the Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching program. Students removed from the BPEC program can re-apply after one year.
2. As an option, students can declare into a Concentration in Kinesiology and/or Health Promotion. Concentrations are noted on a student's transcript.
3. A University Transferable course is a course that transfers to one of the Research Universities - SFU, UBC (UBCV or UBCO), UNBC, or UVIC in the BC Transfer Guide.
- A UT English course can be any level of 糖心vlog传媒course as long as it transfers to one of the Research Universities as assigned or unassigned credit at 100-level ENGL credit. UT English courses can include courses in ENGL, CMNS, and CRWR. Future teachers should plan to take ENGL credits to meet this requirement. To know which courses transfer as UT English credit, please use the BC Transfer Guide. Please see your Student Success Advisor or program coordinator for further details.
- A UT Mathematics course can be any level of 糖心vlog传媒credit as long as it transfers to one of the Research Universities as assigned or unassigned credit in Mathematics or Statistics. Please see your Student Success Advisor or program coordinator for further details.
- A UT Laboratory Science course is one in which a substantial component of student instruction involves the study of natural phenomena, either in the laboratory or in the field, usually found in the areas listed in the table. Please see your Student Success Advisor or program coordinator for further details.
4. An ENGL Literature course is recommended for future teachers (elementary and secondary).
5. MATH 1191 is recommended for future elementary teachers and MATH 1234 is recommended for future secondary teachers. MATH 1160 is recommended for future kinesiologists, physiotherapist, occupational therapists (and other allied health professions).
