PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
(6) All undergraduate students enrolling in the University as freshmen or as
transfer students with less than sixty semester hours of credit earned elsewhere
are required to secure four semester hours of credit in physical education including
the amount of credit transferred. Those entering with sixty or more semester
hours of credit are exempt from the physical education requirement.
Heretofore the four semester hours of credit in physical education have been
included in the total number of hours required for graduation in some of the
colleges and schools. In others, and in certain curricula, the stated graduation
requirements specifying the total number of semester hours of credit required do
not include the credit for the required courses in physical education. In the interest
of uniformity, the University Senate at Urbana has recommended elimination ot
the credit toward graduation for the required courses in physical education, and a
corresponding reduction in the number of hours required for graduation, but the
present all-University physical education requirement will continue in effect.
I concur.
On motion of Mr. Bissell, this recommendation was approved.
