You must carry 12 or more hours of credit in a regular semester (Fall or Spring) and six or more hours in a summer semester in order to be classified as a full-time student.
Kinesiology Majors:
English Composition: Kinesiology majors are required to take English 1001.
Math: Kinesiology majors are required to take Math 1021 (College Algebra) and Math 1022 (Plane Trigonometry). If your placement test results indicate that you received credit for Math 1021, you may schedule Math 1022. If you placed into Math 1021 or Math 1029, you must schedule Math 1021. If you placed into Math 0092 or Math 1029, you must talk to an advisor about your options.
Science: It is suggested that Kinesiology majors schedule the following Biology sequence during the first semester of college study: Biology 1201 (Biology for Science Majors I) and Biology 1208 (Biology Laboratory for Science Majors I). You are eligible to take Biology 1201 and 1208 if your ACT composite is 23 or above. If your ACT composite is below 23, you may take Biology 1201 after you earn a “C” or better in Chemistry 1201.
