Many states (though currently not Indiana) require coaches to hold a coaching endorsement to qualify for coaching assignments. NOTE that the Indiana Professional Standards Board is revising criteria for teacher licensure in Indiana, and specifications for coaching are subject to change. Direct inquiries to the IUPUI Department of Physical Education, 274-2284.

Earning Certification to Teach

Individuals who have earned college degrees but who do not hold teaching credentials may pursue those credentials through a process called certification. The process involves a review of past course work, designation of required courses, application to the certification program, and successful completion of required courses. Two routes are available to degreed students interested in earning certification, and the course work is exactly the same in each route:

1. Pursue a second undergraduate degree-a B.S. in Physical Education;
2. pursue the "certification only" program through the School of Education

There are fees associated with evaluation of past course work and for application to the certification program. For further information, contact the physical education department regarding pursuit of a second bachelor's degree (317) 274-2248, or the Certification Program

Admission Status

An applicant for admission into the graduate program in the School of Physical Education will be classified in one of the following admission categories:

1. Unconditional Applicants in this category have met all of the requirements for admission into the program and may begin course work immediately.
   
   
2. Conditional The applicant is admitted provisionally, pending the completion of certain course prerequisites.
   
   
3. Denied The applicant is denied regular admission into the program and may not pursue the degree at this time. Reconsideration of the application can be requested if new evidence is presented to the admission committee. If that new evidence includes graduate course work taken at Indiana University or another accredited institution, that course work will not usually be accepted toward the degree if the student is subsequently accepted.
   
   
4. Non-degree Students who hold a bachelor's degree who wish to pursue advanced study may do so as an adult non-degree student in the School of Physical Education. These students will need to complete an abbreviated application for admission. Non-degree students must obtain permission each semester to enroll in classes. If a non-degree student later applies for unconditional admission in order to complete a degree, no more than 9 credit hours taken before formal admission may be applied toward the degree.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS

Degree requirements for students in the School of Physical Education are established by the faculty of the school and may change from time to time. Students are bound by rules and regulations established by the faculty at the time of their initial matriculation as a graduate student. Every graduate student will be assigned an advisor who will help cooperatively plan their course of study depending on experiences and education objectives. The Master of Science degree consists of a 15-hour core of major topics in physical education and human performance and an additional 20 hours of elective courses, a minimum of 9 of which must be completed in the School of Physical Education.

Core Courses (15 cr.)

HPER T590	Introduction to Research in HPER	(3 cr.)
HPER K525	Psychological Foundations of Exercise and Sports	(3 cr.)
HPER K530	Mechanical Analysis of Human Performance	(3 cr.)
HPER K535	Physiological Basis of Human Performance	(3 cr.)
HPER K522	Adapted Physical Education	(3 cr.)

Grades

Quality points are assigned for purposes of determining the cumulative grade point average as follows:

A or A+	4.0
A–	3.7
B+	3.3
B	3.0
B–	2.7
C+	2.3
C	2.0
C–	1.7
D+	1.3
D	1.0
D–	0.7
F	0.0 (no credit)

No points are assigned for grades of Incomplete (I), Satisfactory (S), Pass (P), or Withdrawn (W).

All graduate students are expected to maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better. Students whose average falls below this level will be placed on probation. Grades below C- will not count toward degree requirements; however, all grades earned in courses taken for graduate credit will be included in the calculation of the grade point average.

Transfer of Credit

A maximum of nine credit hours of graduate work may be transferred from other institutions for application to the master's degree. The admission committee will determine the distribution and acceptance of those transfer hours at the time of admission. Once a student has enrolled in the Master of Science degree program in the School of Physical Education they must receive advance approval from the advisor and Department Chair to take work at another institution for transfer to IUPUI. This limitation does not apply to work taken at any other Indiana University campus. Transfer credit bearing grades of Pass (P) or Satisfactory (S) cannot be accepted unless there is official documentation for the transferring institution to verify that these grades are equivalent to at least a B on a graduate grading scale. No credit can be transferred for a course that cannot be officially documented as carrying graduate credit.

Graduation

At least six months prior to the date of expected graduation from the Master of Science program, the student should file an application for graduation with the School of Physical Education Recorder, Room 258, Physical Education/Natatorium Building. Students are ultimately responsible for knowing, understanding and completing all degree requirements in a timely manner. IUPUI holds a single commencement ceremony in May each year. In order to participate in commencement activities the student must have completed all degree requirements by the prior December or expect to complete them no later than August following the May commencement exercises.
