Graduation Requirement


The college maintains a physical education requirement for graduation; however, the program carries no academic credit. A total of four courses is required: PE 101 (required of all students, including transfers, during their first semester at Davidson); one lifetime credit (PE 2**); one water credit (PE 3**); and one team credit (PE 4**). Students are encouraged to complete their PE requirement by the end of their sophmore year. Students receive credit for a team sport by participating on a varsity or junior varsity athletic team or by participating in 75 percent of games in a club or intramural sport. Lifetime credit will be given to students who participate in one of the lifetime physical education classes. A swim evaluation is administered during orientation to determine swimming ability and to offer guidance in course selection. Students who do not successfully complete a swim evaluation must register for an appropriate swimming class.
