A detailed description of the course offerings and requirements is available from the School of Kinesiology and Health Science. Practicum Course List While practicum courses are required of all kinesiology and health science students in order to graduate, they are not applied towards the academic degree requirements in kinesiology and health science. The second digit of the practica courses indicates the practicum area. One practicum course represents a total of 24 contact hours of sports activity or equivalent. Practicum courses provide professional preparation for kinesiology and health science students and as such may require vigorous physical activity. It is strongly recommended that every student in the practicum program have a medical examination prior to participating. Students with disabilities are considered on a case-by-case basis. Practicum courses are open to both men and women unless otherwise specified. For practicum course descriptions, please consult the School of Kinesiology and Health Science supplemental calendar. Aquatics Courses HH/PKIN 0200 0.00 Dance/Gymnastics Courses HH/PKIN 0500 0.00 Emergency Care Courses HH/PKIN 0750 0.00 Individual and Dual Sports Courses HH/PKIN 0400 0.00 Team Sports Courses HH/PKIN 0301 0.00 Track and Field Courses HH/PKIN 0600 0.00 Additional Courses HH/PKIN 0821 0.00 Undergraduate Certificates The School of Kinesiology and Health Science offers undergraduate certificates in: athletic therapy; coaching; fitness assessment and exercise counselling, and; sport administration that may be taken concurrently with an honours degree. Upon graduation, students who have successfully completed the degree and certificate requirements receive a certificate in addition to the undergraduate degree. Students may only enrol in one certificate stream at a time. Certificate requirements are listed in the Faculty of Health Undergraduate Certificate section of this calendar. Course Substitutes The School of Kinesiology and Health Science does not recognize any course substitutes for its academic course requirements. Students who complete a course offered by another unit or program that is a course exclusion with a kinesiology course must replace the corresponding kinesiology course with another kinesiology course of equal or greater credit value at the same year level or higher.
