3 Important Things to Know About Being a Student in Kinesiology and 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 (fall/winter and summer), must have a cumulative average as follows: Year Earned Credit Range 1 0 to or more 5.00 Cumulative overall average required Plagarism and Academic Dishonesty The School of Kinesiology & Health Science takes academic 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, Office of Student and Academic Services: 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: 3

4 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. 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.) practicum courses ungraded courses courses in Faculties where the drop date occurs within the first 3 weeks of classes 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. Grade Grade Point Percent Range Grading Scheme and Feedback Policy Description A Exceptional A Excellent B Very Good B Good C Competent C Fairly Competent D Passing D Marginally Passing E 1 Marginally below 50% Marginally Failing F 0 Below 50% Failing 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: 4

5 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: Example: 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. 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: tml Course Grade Points Credits BIOL MATH KINE KINE CSE Total Grade Points C+ 5.0 x 6 = 30 F 0.0 x 3 = 0 B 6.0 x 3 = 18 B+ 7.0 x 3 = 21 A 8.0 x 3 = 24 TOTAL

Varsity Sport Practicum Credits Students who complete a season as a member of a York University varsity team are eligible to receive a 1 PKIN course credit allowance per year to a maximum of 3 practicum course credits. To receive this credit students must complete an application form available from the Undergraduate Office (341 Bethune College). Exceptional Circumstances Students who believe they may have difficulty completing the practicum requirements must contact the Undergraduate Office prior to completing their second year of study. 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 and Pass/Fail Option 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. 16
