Degree Requirements
Your official degree requirements are outlined in the Undergraduate or your year of entry. For previous years, see "".
This program is recognized by the and accredited by the , allowing eligible graduates to pursue registration as registered kinesiologists (R.Kin.).
Honours vs. Specialized Honours (120 credits)
Most students begin in the Specialized Honours program. Both the Honours and Specialized Honours programs require 120 credits and provide opportunities to explore additional academic interests. The main difference is the number of major credits required with more required credits in the Specialized Honours vs. Honours. The BA/BSc Honours program therefore offers greater flexibility to explore another subject through options such as a minor or double major.
- A Minor allows students to complete a second area of study, typically consisting of at least 30 credits.
- A Double Major allows students to complete concentrated studies in two disciplines and graduate with one Honours degree recognize both areas of study.
Movement and Health (90 Credits)
The Movement and Health degree is a three-year option and may serve as an exit pathway for students who choose or are not eligible to continue in an Honours program.
Graduates of this degree are not directly eligible for registration with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario.
Honours Standing and Progression
Students in Honours programs must complete a minimum of 120 credits and maintain a cumulative GPA (cGPA) of 5.0 (C+) to progress and graduate. Students who do not meet Honours progression requirements may be transferred to the 90 credit Movement and Health degree option.
Academic Standing and Petitions
Students experiencing academic difficulties may be eligible to submit a petition to the Faculty of Health Petitions Committee. If appropriate grounds exist, students may request a late withdrawal from previous courses to improve their cumulative GPA. Approved petitions may help students regain eligibility to continue in an Honours program.
For more information, contact Academic Advising.
