5 OVERVIEW OF THE KINESIOLOGY & HEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAM AT YORK York offers Kinesiology & Health Science students one of the most diversified schools of Kinesiology & Health Science in North America and the largest of its kind in Canada. Kinesiology & Health Science is the study of human movement and the relationship between physical activity and health. Most students enter the Kinesiology & Health Science Program because they have a keen interest in physical activity and health. At York you will encounter a multidisciplinary program focused on helping you build an understanding of the anatomical, physiological, psychological and cultural aspects of human movement and health. A wide range of program options, including numerous academic elective and practicum courses, will provide the foundations to launch you into the career of your choice in fields such as health and fitness, teaching, or coaching, and will also prepare you for graduate level professional training in specialized programs such as medicine, physiotherapy, dentistry, chiropractic, education and research. York s Kinesiology & Health Science program offers multiple degree options tailored to your academic and career interests. These include the Specialized Honours B.A. or B.Sc. in Kinesiology & Health Science, as well as Double Major and Major-Minor / Minor-Major B.A. or B.Sc. program options which enable you to combine your studies in Kinesiology & Health Science with another discipline. York s Kinesiology & Health Science program combines lectures, tutorials, experiential laboratories, as well as physical activity / practicum courses, to give you the opportunity to develop skills in a wide variety of settings and approaches. Our program features more than fifty professors who enthusiastically engage in health, activity and sport-related teaching and research at York.

6 IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT BEING A STUDENT IN KINESIOLOGY & HEALTH SCIENCE KINESIOLOGY AND HEALTH SCIENCE: AN HONOURS PROGRAM Students may select Kinesiology and Health Science as their study major or minor in the first year or subsequent years if they have Honours standing. Honours standing must be maintained to proceed to subsequent years, and to graduate. Students who do not maintain Honours standing may not continue in the Kinesiology and Health Science Program and must select another major. HONOURS STANDING GUIDELINES To continue in Honours, students, upon completion of each academic session, must have a cumulative average as follows: Year Credit Range Cumulative overall average required 1 0 to or more 5.00 PLAGIARISM AND ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Kinesiology & Health Science takes dishonesty and plagiarism very seriously, and will prosecute offenders. According to the Senate Policy on Academic Honesty, Plagiarism is the representation of another person s ideas or writing as one s own. The most obvious form of this kind of dishonesty is the presentation of all or part of another person s published work as something one has written. However, paraphrasing another s writing without proper acknowledgement may also be considered plagiarism. It is your responsibility to know what constitutes plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Any breach of academic honesty will be dealt with according to the University s policies, which can be found at the following website: Academic Integrity Tutorial UNIVERSITY, SENATE, FACULTY AND DEPARTMENTAL REGULATIONS Students are reminded that they must abide by all the University, Senate, Faculty and Departmental regulations in effect. The following addresses are provided to assist students, staff and faculty in finding answers to questions concerning these regulations: University Policies, Procedures & Regulations Database: Faculty of Health: Faculty of Health, Division of Students: Undergraduate Program in Kinesiology and Health Science: Students are reminded that they may petition on reasonable grounds, in writing, any Faculty regulations. All enquiries about regulations and petition procedures should be addressed to the Registrar s Office. For further information on petitions and appeals, students should visit the web site for the Registrar s Office: 5

7 GRADES AND GRADING SCHEMES Except for courses taken under the Ungraded Option, courses in the Undergraduate faculties represented in this publication are graded according to the scale below. The grade point values are used to compute averages. For information regarding ungraded option regulations, refer to the Grading information available in the Faculty of Health section of the York Calendar. NOTE: Only courses taken at York University are included in the grade point averages. The percentages indicated are not part of the official grading scheme and are meant only to be used as guidelines. The letter-grade system is the fundamental system of assessment of performance in undergraduate programs at York University. Grade Grade Point Percent Range Description A Exceptional A Excellent B Very Good B Good C Competent C Fairly Competent D Passing D Marginally Passing E 1 (marginally Marginally Failing below 50%) F 0 (below 50%) Failing Grading Scheme and Feedback Policy It is University policy that the grading scheme for a course (i.e. kinds and weights of assignments, essays, exams, etc.) be announced, and be available in writing, within the first two weeks of class, and that, under normal circumstances, some graded feedback worth at least 15% of the final grade for Fall, Winter or Summer Term and 30% or full year courses offered in the Fall/Winter Term, be received by students in all courses prior to the final withdrawal date from a course without receiving a grade, with the following exceptions: a) graduate or senior undergraduate courses where course work typically, or at the instructor's discretion, consists of a single piece of work (e.g. honours theses or graduate research papers not due by the drop date, etc.) b) practicum courses c) ungraded courses d) courses in Faculties where the drop date occurs within the first 3 weeks of classes e) courses which run on a compressed schedule ( a course which accomplishes its academic credits of work at a rate of one credit hour per two calendar weeks or faster) Note: Under unusual and/or unforeseeable circumstances which disrupt the academic norm, instructors are expected to provide grading schemes and academic feedback in the spirit of these regulations, as soon as possible. 6

8 HOW TO CALCULATE THE CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA) Averages are calculated on the basis of the point value assigned to each letter grade: A+ = 9.0 A = 8.0 B+ = 7.0 B = 6.0 C+ = 5.0 C = 4.0 D+ = 3.0 D = 2.0 E = 1.0 F = 0.0 Calculating your CGPA: 1. Multiply total credit of each course by the grade point. 2. Add up total number of credits. 3. Add up total grade points. 4. Divide the total grade points by the total credits *Visit the GPA calculator at Example: Courses Grade Points Credits Total Grade Points BIOL C+ 5.0 X 6 = 30 MATH F 0.0 X 3 = 0 KINE B 6.0 X 3 = 18 KINE B+ 7.0 X 3 = 21 CSE A 8.0 X 3 = 24 Total 18 Total 93 (93 grade points divided by 18 credits = 5.17 CGPA) Kinesiology and Health Science is an Honours program. As such, Kinesiology and Health Science major students are required to maintain Honours Standing in order to proceed in KINE and to be eligible to graduate. It is recommended that students plan course selections to meet graduation requirements for a 90 credit degree in another subject area. This is essential if the cumulative grade point average of the student falls below Honours Standing and may be important if the student is accepted into a professional program such as medicine. In these situations a student may apply to graduate with a York University degree in another subject area. 7

Qualified students may be admitted directly into an advanced level course with the permission of the instructor. In these cases no credit is awarded for the lower level course. PRACTICUM ENROLMENT Priority enrolment is given to Kinesiology and Health Science Honours standing students. Students are responsible for enrolling, adding, and dropping courses. The add/drop dates for the practicum courses are the same as those published for the academic courses. Students requesting the drop of an F grade received because they enrolled in a PKIN but did not attend or participate will be charged a $25.00 administrative fee per PKIN course. The money will be placed in the scholarship fund for Kinesiology and Health Science students. Note: Students who attend more than 20 percent of the classes for a course are not eligible to request a grade removal. PARTICIPATION To receive credit for a practicum course a student must attend and actively participate in a minimum of 80 percent of the classes for the course. In extenuating circumstances, such as verified illness or injury which prevents full participation, the grading during the term may be changed to a Pass/Fail. In such cases the student and the instructor agree in writing to the terms for a pass in the course. A copy of this signed written agreement must be forwarded to the Undergraduate Office. Students with a disability are considered on a case-by-case basis. EVALUATION - GRADES Evaluation of a student s competence in a practicum is based on skill execution and skill theory (oral and/or written). The practicum grading scale is A, B, C, F or Pass/Fail option. To exercise the Pass/Fail option, students must sign the appropriate documentation within the first two weeks of the term in which the course begins. Pass/Fail option forms are available from PKIN course directors. Please note: practicum credits and grades are listed on the official transcript but are not calculated in the cumulative grade point average. PRACTICUM ASSISTANT Students who are exceptionally skilled and experienced in a particular practicum area may be given permission by the practicum instructor to receive practicum credits for assisting in the instruction of the course. VARSITY SPORT PRACTICUM CREDITS Students who complete a season as a member of a York University varsity team are eligible to receive a 2.0 credit practicum allowance per year to a maximum of 6.0 practicum credits.
