In Northwest Coast Indigenous artwork, the wolf symbolizes loyalty, strong family and community ties, good communication, education, understanding, and intelligence. Wolves are highly social animals known for their pack structure, cooperation in hunting, and care for their young. Indigenous cultures often observe and admire these traits, viewing the wolf pack as a model for strong community bonds, interdependence, and the importance of collaboration for collective well-being. These very qualities \u2013 dedication to community and advocating for shared wellness through community action \u2013 are equally essential to succeed as a recreation and health education practitioner.<\/span><\/p>\n Source:<\/strong> Michael Bellis, Haida Nation (2024, January 15).

A term long course at UVic typically has a 1.5 unit weighting. To finish in the minimum recommended time a student normally needs to take five courses per term<\/strong> (i.e., 5 x 1.5 units – 7.5 units per term – across two terms = 15.0 units per session). Some students may reduce their course load to better manage their studies, being a student ahtlete, or to participate in part-time employment. If you are considering reducing your course load, you must first verify that it will not negatively impact your athlete status, student loan(s), or scholarship(s).<\/b> A typical undergraduate degree at UVic requires completion of 60-units.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Return to Information Menu Row” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”#new-kinesiology-student-menu” button_text=”Return to information menu” button_alignment=”right” admin_label=”Return to Information Menu Button” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”14px” button_text_color=”#002754″ button_border_width=”0px” button_font=”Noto Sans|600||on|||||” button_icon=”||fa||900″ button_on_hover=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Course Outlines Section” module_id=”course-outlines” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color_gradient_direction=”330deg” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”Course Outlines Row” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”COURSE OUTLINES” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ icon_placement=”left” content_max_width=”100%” admin_label=”Course Outlines Blurb” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” animation=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A course outline (or syllabus)<\/b> acts as the official roadmap<\/b> for a course.

It is especially useful when you first enter the program because it indicates when courses are typically scheduled.<\/p>\n You should be aware that the program worksheet may change if the requirements of the Recreation and Health Education degree are altered.<\/p>\n As you progress in your study, you should transition from using the program worksheet to using your Degree Evaluation<\/b> (also known as a CAPP report<\/b>) for planning and monitoring your progress.<\/p>\n Your Degree Evaluation is unique to you and reflects the exact requirements that were in effect when you entered your program. The requirements listed on your Degree Evaluation will not change,<\/b> even if the overall degree program is later modified.<\/p>\n You can generate and print a Degree Evaluation yourself by going to the main UVic web page, click on “Online Tools,” then select “Student Services,” then “Grades & Records,” then “Degree Evaluation.”<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> If you have just been admitted to the Recreation and Health Education program you won’t be able to generate a Degree Evaluation until the first term of your study commences – you don’t officially enter the Recreation and Health Education program until the start of the Sep-Dec term.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You can download the Recreation and Health Education program planning worksheet<\/a><\/strong> from the UVic website.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> The download version of the Recreation and Health Education program planning worksheet includes hyperlinked course codes that will take you to the description of a selected course in the academic calendar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While the Physical and Health Education program is the most direct route to becoming a physical and health education teacher, it does not accept direct entry. Prospective students interested in becoming a secondary school physical and health education teacher must first apply for admission to the Recreation and Health Education program.<\/p>\n The transition process into the Physical and Health Education program is seamless. Here is how it works:<\/p>\n You can find the Physical and Health Education program planning worksheet<\/strong> and more information about becoming a secondary school physical education teacher in the PHE pathway section<\/a> <\/strong>of this site.<\/p>\n Tip:<\/strong> If you are interested in adult education<\/strong> related to health, wellness, recreation, leisure, or coaching, you might consider adding a Minor in Education to your Recreation and Health Education degree. You can find information about minors in the Minors section<\/a><\/strong> of this site.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”contain” background_position=”top_center” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] Your Degree Evaluation is a critical, personalized document that you can use to plan your course registrations and monitor your progress toward completing your degree requirements.<\/p>\n Unlike the Recreation and Health Education program planning worksheet, your Degree Evaluation is unique to you and will not change without your approval.<\/strong><\/p>\n Your Degree Evaluation shows:<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Waitlisted courses do not appear in your Degree Evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You cannot generate a Degree Evaluation until your first term of study in the Recreation and Health Education program has commenced.<\/p>\n Once the term has started you can generate and print your own Degree Evaluation anytime. Simply go to the main UVic webpage, click “Online Tools,<\/strong>” then select “Student Services,<\/strong>” followed by “Grades & Records,<\/strong>” and finally, “Degree Evaluation<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n You should be able to use your Degree Evaluation along with the university timetable to effectively plan your registrations.<\/p>\n Look in the section of your Degree Evaluation labelled: “RECREATION AND HLTH EDUC (rhamama1)<\/strong>.” You will see that this area is divided into a series of sub-sections. Each sub-section is called a “rule<\/strong>” and each rule defines a course or set of courses that need to be taken as part of your degree. The “Select from<\/strong>” line lists the courses that can be taken to meet a rule. The “Not from<\/strong>” line highlights specific courses that can’t be taken to meet the rule. A red X<\/strong> next to a rule indicates that there are courses that still need to be taken to meet the requirements of that rule. A green tick<\/strong> means that the requirements of the rule have been met.

Three hundred or 400-level electives can be any course at the 300- or 400-level (NB, for which there are no program restrictions, and for which you have any necessary prerequisites).<\/p>\n You should note that most senior electives have associated lower-level prerequisites. So, while you can take any course to meet a 100 or above elective requirement, it is more efficient to select your 100 or above electives with a view to meeting upper-level elective prerequisite requirements (i.e., you need to have a view of your future upper-level electives when selecting your lower-level electives). It is also more efficient to choose upper electives from the same general area (i.e., to avoid needing to meet many different lower-level prerequisite requirements).<\/p>\n There are several EPHE courses that can be used as 300- or 400-level electives, but some include lower-level prerequisites that you may not have automatically taken as part your recreation and health education program.<\/p>\n\n

Brightspace is an online platform<\/a><\/strong> (created by a company called D2L) that is used at UVic to manage course content and facilitate communication. Instructors use Brightspace to provide access to their course outline, course materials, assignments, quizzes, and grades in one central place. Brightspace also includes tools like discussion forums and videos to support your learning. A course instructor will advise you in your first class if their course has an associated Brightspace site.<\/p>\n
