The Academic Program

Policies Governing the Academic Program-School of Physical Education

Degree Requirements

Students in the School of Physical Education are responsible for fully understanding and meeting all the requirements for graduation. Information regarding the program can be obtained by consulting this bulletin. A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) is necessary. Class standing is based on credit hours completed: Freshman-26 or fewer
Sophomore-27-55
Junior-56-85
Senior-86 The Department of Physical Education requires a minimum of 124 credit hours for a Bachelor of Science degree. In the physical education major the department offers three tracks (exercise science with pre-physical therapy option, fitness and sports studies, teacher education), five minors (adapted physical education, athletic training, business, dance, health and safety), two endorsements (coaching, driver education), one concentration (aquatics), and a certificate in personal training (final approval pending). A capstone course is required of students in each of the three majors: an internship for exercise science and fitness and sports studies students, and student teaching for teacher education students. A minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average is required for entry into the capstone course, and a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average is required to earn the bachelor's degree. A letter grade of C or better is required in English W131, English W231 and Communication R110, and none of these three courses may be taken by correspondence.

The teacher education (K-12) track prepares the student to meet K-12 physical education-teacher education certification requirements set by the state of Indiana. The exercise science track is designed for the individual who wishes to work in the corporate/community fitness setting or to pursue a graduate degree in exercise science, biomechanics, physical therapy, or a related health discipline. The fitness and sports studies track is directed to those interested in personal fitness training, sports programming, entrepreneur activities related to fitness and sports, and related fields.

The Department of Tourism, Conventions, and Event Management requires 64 credit hours for the Associate of Science degree and 124 for the Bachelor of Science degree.

The four-year and two-year degrees, as well as all certificate programs require a letter grade of C or better in courses from the major, as well as in the general education courses of ENG W131, BUS X204, and COMM R110. The degree programs require 600 hours of work experience in a pre-approved tourism or hospitality organization. Students may complete the work experience with a paid or a not-for-pay position.

Advising and Special Options

Advising Each student in the School of Physical Education is assigned a faculty counselor who advises the student in program planning and assists with any academic questions or problems. All students are expected to obtain counseling each semester prior to enrollment.

Independent Study Work may be accomplished in absence for credit through the School of Continuing Studies. A student must have satisfied the entrance requirements of the School of Physical Education, however, before registering for such work if it is to be applied toward a degree. Special permission from the dean is required. Students may apply up to 18 credit hours of correspondence work from the School of Continuing Studies toward a degree in the School of Physical Education.

Pass/Fail Option Physical Education students may elect to take one course each semester with a grade of P (Pass) or F (Fail), with a maximum of two such courses each school year, including summer sessions. The student must elect to exercise this option early in the semester or summer session, per the timeline contained in the Schedule of Classes. Courses that satisfy school or degree program requirements may not be taken under this option.

Excessive Withdrawal Policy After eight withdrawals, a mandatory meeting between the student, advisor, and department chair will be held to identify the reason(s) for the withdrawals, discuss alternatives for course scheduling, and review the student's plan of study to determine if satisfactory progress is being made toward the degree objective. After 10 withdrawals, a mandatory meeting with the dean of the school will occur. A review of the previous meeting and reason(s) for subsequent withdrawals will determine if the student will be allowed to continue in the School of Physical Education.

Special Credit Opportunities

See department chair for procedures on special credit.

Academic Expectations

Student work in general education and major courses will include content and learning activities supporting the principles of undergraduate learning as defined by the faculty of the School of Physical Education. These five principles relate to students' competencies in the following areas: core skills (reading, writing, speaking, quantitative analysis, and use of information technology); critical thinking; intellectual depth, breadth, and adaptiveness; understanding society and culture; and integration and application of knowledge. These general education principles are defined on course syllabi. Faculty expect students to use software applications to prepare assignments, to use electronic mail to enhance communication and/or submit assignments, and to develop competencies with various campus technology resources (e.g., Insite, Oncourse, internet browsers). Written work is to be of high quality (focused, organized, and with an introduction, purpose, sense of audience, thesis, and conclusion; appropriate sentence structure; variety; and correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation). Writing should reveal the student's ability to develop ideas with balanced and specific arguments. Papers should follow APA style unless another style is specified, and should give credit to original sources when ideas or materials of others are used.

Academic Integrity

Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the school's regulations concerning cheating and plagiarism, which appear as follows in the IUPUI Faculty Handbook VI-5: Cheating is dishonesty of any kind with respect to examinations, course assignments, alteration of records, or illegal possession of examinations. It is the responsibility of the student not only to abstain from cheating, but, in addition, to avoid the appearance of cheating and to guard against making it possible for others to cheat. Any student who helps another student to cheat is as guilty of cheating as the student who was assisted. Students should also do everything possible to induce respect for the examining process and honesty in the performance of assigned tasks in or out of class.

Plagiarism is the claiming of the work of someone else as one's own. Honesty requires that any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged. The language or ideas taken from another may range from isolated formulas, sentences, or paragraphs to entire articles copied from books, periodicals, speeches, databases, or the writings of other students. The offering of materials assembled or collected by others in the form of projects or collections without acknowledgement also is considered plagiarism. Any student who fails to give credit for ideas or materials taken from another source is guilty of plagiarism.

A faculty member who has evidence that a student is guilty of cheating or plagiarism shall initiate the process of determining the student's guilt or innocence. No penalty shall be imposed until the student has been informed of the charge and of the evidence upon which it is based, and has been given an opportunity to present a defense. If the faculty member finds the student guilty, the faculty member assesses a penalty within the course and promptly reports the case in writing to the dean of the school or comparable head of the academic unit. The report should include the names of any other students who may be involved in the incident and recommendations for further action. The dean, in consultation with the faculty member if the latter so desires, will initiate any further disciplinary proceedings and inform the faculty member of any action taken. In every case, a record of the offenses remains on file in the dean's office.

For further regulations, students should refer to IUPUI's Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct by the Board of Trustees of Indiana University. You may obtain a copy of the Code from the Dean's Office or view the text on the IUPUI Web site at www.iupui.edu.

Academic Load and Absences

Semester Academic Load A typical academic load is 12-18 credit hours, with an average load being approximately 15 credit hours. A typical load in a summer session is 6 credit hours. Students expecting to carry more than 18 credit hours per semester or 7 credit hours per summer session must have permission of the dean of the School of Physical Education and should have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (B), or have earned a B (3.0) average in their last full semester.

Academic Standing, Probation, Dismissal, and Reinstatement

Academic Standing Students who consistently maintain a GPA of 2.0 (C) or higher in both their cumulative and semester records are considered to be in good standing.

Academic Probation Students are on academic probation when either their semester GPA or their cumulative GPA is below 2.0 (C). Each student on academic probation will be so advised by a letter from the dean of the School of Physical Education. The student will be informed of all conditions and restrictions required for reestablishing good academic standing.

Dismissal Students are subject to dismissal when they have failed to attain a minimum of a 2.0 (C) average in any two consecutive semesters or when the cumulative GPA of the student who is on probation falls or remains below 2.0 (C). Each student who is dismissed will be so advised by a letter from the Office of the Dean of the School of Physical Education.

Reinstatement A dismissed student who wishes to be reinstated must contact the dean of the school to obtain an Application for Reinstatement. This application requires explanation of any extenuating circumstances that may have hindered academic performance, and a brief outline of future schedules and study plans. Each application will be considered on an individual basis, and will receive more favorable consideration if the student has sought advice about academic progress on previous occasions, and if academic records are close to the standards required for retaining the student. In order to allow time for each case to be reviewed on its own merits, petitions for readmission must be filed at least two weeks before the first day of classes.

The School of Physical Education typically does not consider petitions for immediate reinstatement. Dismissed students who believe that circumstances warrant consideration for immediate reinstatement must meet with the dean, who will determine whether or not an application for immediate reinstatement is warranted.

One Dismissal Students who have been dismissed once for academic reasons may appeal for reinstatement subject to the conditions stated above.

Two Dismissals Students who have been dismissed twice for academic reasons may not appeal for reinstatement for any enrollment period during the next calendar year.

Students who are reinstated by the school will have to meet prescribed standards of performance for the semester for which they are reinstated. Failure to meet these standards will result in dismissal.

Student Grievance Procedures

Students who feel they have been treated in an unfair or unethical manner by a member of the School of Physical Education faculty are encouraged to resolve their differences directly with the faculty member. When informal solutions do not appear possible, the following procedures should be observed. Appeal for Grade Change A student may request a change of grade in a School of Physical Education course by filing a petition with the dean of the school. The petition, along with supporting evidence that the grade was improper, must be submitted to the Dean's Office (PE 251) no later than one calendar year following the final date of the term in which the course was taken.

Complaints of Unethical Treatment All academic personnel (faculty, part-time instructors, and advisors) are expected to conform to the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct published in the Indiana University Academic Handbook. Students who feel they have been treated unfairly by a faculty member may lodge a complaint by following the procedures outlined in the Code, a copy of which may be obtained from the Dean's Office, PE 251.

Student Ombuds Office

The Student Ombudsperson provides impartial, objective, and confidential assistance to students, faculty/staff, and parents in situations involving students. The office assists in mediating or resolving specific complaints or conflicts. Contact the Student Ombuds Office for an initial, neutral, and confidential first step toward resolution. For information, contact the Student Ombuds Office, 274-3931, stuombud@iupui.edu.

Graduation

Residency Requirements for Graduation The student must complete at least 30 of the last 60 credit hours required for a specific degree program while in residence at the School of Physical Education at IUPUI. The 30 credit hours should include either one 12 credit hour regular semester or two 6 credit hour summer sessions.

Students in the two-year degree program must complete 15 of the last 24 credit hours required while in residence in the Tourism, Conventions, and Event Management (TCEM) department.

Degree Application A candidate for graduation must file a formal application for the degree with the school approximately one year prior to the expected date of graduation. The school will not be responsible for the timely graduation of students who fail to meet this requirement.

Graduation with Honors Indiana University recognizes high cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) by awarding degrees with the designations "Distinction,'' "High Distinction,'' and "Highest Distinction.'' Purdue programs recognize the top 10 percent of graduates with the designations "Distinction'' and "Highest Distinction.'' The designated individuals are presented honor cords to wear at the commencement exercises for IUPUI.

Intercampus Transfers

Temporary To transfer credit for an individual semester or for the summer from one campus to another campus of Indiana University, the student must file a temporary Intercampus Transfer Request with the School of Physical Education Recorder's Office on the campus currently being attended. Permanent To transfer permanently from one campus to another campus of Indiana University, the student must file an Intercampus Transfer Request with the School of Physical Education Recorder's Office on the campus currently being attended. Advance notice is necessary to allow for the transfer of records and the validation of the student's eligibility to continue studies. Contact the School of Physical Education Records Office for details and deadline dates.

Other Physical Education Department Information

Uniforms Physical education majors wear uniform shirts and shorts for several professional preparation activity classes. Instructors indicate on the first day of class if uniforms will be required. Uniforms may be purchased at the IUPUI Bookstore in Cavanaugh Hall.
