OUTDOOR EDUCATION
PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT
All Cornell undergraduates are normally required
to take two credits (two courses) of Physical
Education, one credit each semester of the first year on campus.
Students may take more than one PE class per semester, but may only
take one for credit. Registered participants in Cornell Athletics
may receive PE credit (sign up during the registration). There are
some exceptions for transfer students.
For a complete description of the Physical Education
Requirements and exceptions, please see
Physical Education Requirements. All requests for accomodations to the Physical Education or Swim Test requirement due to disability must be made through the office of Student Disability Services.
SWIM
TEST REQUIREMENT
The
University Faculty Committee on Physical Education has established
a basic swimming competency requirement for all entering
freshman undergraduates. The test is normally taken as part
of their Fall orientation process. The test consists
of entering the deep end of the pool with a feet-first jump
and making a continuous seventy-five-yard swim using front,
back, and optional strokes. Any student who cannot pass the
swim test is required to include swimming in his or her program
of physical education before choosing electives.
If a student does not pass the swim test in his/her first
Beginning Swimming PE class, then the student must take a second
Beginning Swimming PE class. Successful completion of two Beginning
Swimming classes (based on attendance requirements) with the
instructor's recommendation will fulfill the University's swim
test requirement.
Students unable to meet the swim requirement for medical or other reasons acceptable to the
University Faculty Committee on Physical Education will be required
to take one of the following Physical Education classes: Wellness and Fitness (PE1265) or Wilderness First Responder (PE1626) as an alternative to the swimming requirement. All requests for accomodations to the Physical Education or Swim Test requirement due to disability must be made through the office of Student Disability Services.
There
are also some exceptions for transfer
students. |
