Co-Curricular Activities
- 3 units of co-curricular activities are required (PE courses are taught in 0.5 unit classes. Thus, 6 of these are needed for 3 units).
- It is highly recommended that students take at least one PE class during each semester of their first year, if possible.
Revised Spring 2023 for 2023-2024 academic year.
