Fees and additional costs
Fees stated are in effect for 2005/06
and are subject to change for 2006/07.
Fees are based on the number of
credits for which a student enrols in. In general, a full-time
student (five courses, 15–18 credits) can expect to pay
approximately $2,000 to $2,250 per semester in tuition. See the
Fees and Other Costs section for more information.
Location
All courses in the degree program are
available on the Abbotsford campus. Selected first- and
second-year courses may be available on the Mission and
Chilliwack campuses.
Program regulations
Transfer of credit
Total transfer and prior learning
credit into the Bachelor of Kinesiology degree must not exceed
90 credits.
Program continuance
A student must maintain a minimum
cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 for continuance in
the program. In addition, a minimum CGPA of 2.0 must be
maintained in the upper-level courses when considered
separately.
Academic warning (probation)
A student who has a CGPA of less than
2.0 will be placed on Academic Warning for the following
semester. Students who do not achieve a semester GPA of 2.0 in
this subsequent semester will be required to withdraw from the
program. Even if the student achieves a semester GPA of 2.0 or
greater in the subsequent semester, they will continue on
academic warning until their CGPA is 2.0 or greater.
Course repetition
Students may not register for a course
more than twice. A maximum of five course repetitions are
permitted. Where a course has been repeated, only the higher
grade is counted in the GPA calculation.
Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition
Students may receive credit for
learning from previous studies or learning-through-experience.
Credit for courses in the program can be obtained through:
• articulated course transfer
credit
• challenge exams, or
• portfolio assessment.
Contact the department for more
information regarding Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition.
Course withdrawal deadlines
Course withdrawal deadlines follow
UCFV policy.
Prerequisites
A prerequisite is a requirement which
must be met before a student enters a course or program. A P
grade does not, unless otherwise stated, meet a prerequisite
requirement. Students who do not have the stated prerequisite
may not register in a course having these requirements without
the permission of the instructor.
Graduation
Please refer to
graduation
requirements.
Program requirements
The Bachelor of Kinesiology degree
requires the completion of at least 120 credits applicable to
the program, of which a minimum of 48 credits must be at the
upper level (300/400). A minimum program GPA of 2.0 is
necessary to graduate.

paths.
Note: Faculty of Education entrance
requirements vary by institutions. Students intending to enter
such programs must ensure that all courses required for
admission to their program of choice are completed. Students
must also meet the minimum GPA requirement stated for entrance
into their program of choice.
A student completing requirements for
the Bachelor of Kinesiology may combine this with the
requirements for any of the existing minors or Arts extended
minors offered at UCFV, with the exception of the Biology
extended minor. In such cases, their transcript will specify
both the Bachelor of Kinesiology and extended minor or minor
program completed. Examples of such minors include those in Arts
(see
this
section for a listing of Arts minors), Science
(Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics) and Business
Administration (see
this section
for a listing of Business minors), and Criminal Justice. For
examples of Arts extended minors, please see
this
section for the listing.
In order to complete their degree in a
timely fashion, students wishing to combine the Bachelor of
Kinesiology degree with any minor and/or Arts extended minor
(except Biology extended minor) must seek approval of the
appropriate program advisors. Students should be aware that if
they choose to fulfill the requirements of both the Kinesiology
degree and a minor or an Arts extended minor, they will most
likely need to complete more than 120 credits in order to meet
all requirements, and that they will need to meet the
graduation/program requirements for both the Bachelor of
Kinesiology degree and the selected minor or extended minor.
Two kinesiology minors have been
developed for students in the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor
of Science.
Students choosing a kinesiology minor
require approval from both their program advisor and the
Kinesiology department.
