See the UK Core section of this Catalog for the complete UK Core requirements . The courses listed below are (a) recommended by the college, or (b) required courses that also fulfill UK Core areas. Students should work closely with their advisor to complete the UK Core requirements.

Graduation Communication and Composition Requirement (GCCR)

• KHP 300 - Psychology and Sociology of Physical Education and Sport 3 Credit Hours

Requirements

1. All students who declare Kinesiology: Option Exercise Science or Kinesiology: Option Strength and Conditioning as their major will be accepted. 
2. All exercise science students will be required to take the following prerequisite courses before being admitted into professional kinesiology courses: ANA 209  and PGY 206  or ANA 109  and ANA 110 ; MA 109  or math ACT score of 25 or above; CHE 104  or CHE 105 . Upon completion of these requirements, students must have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA to enroll in 400/500 level KHP courses (listed below). 
3. Specific courses will be restricted so that only students who are majors, graduate students, and students required to take the restricted courses as part of other University certificates, minors, and programs (e.g., Nutrition for Human Performance Certificate) will be allowed to enroll in those courses. The restricted classes are KHP 415 , KHP 420G , KHP 445 , KHP 450 , KHP 473 , KHP 577 , and KHP 578 . 
4. Transfer students will be required to complete the following courses (ANA 209  and PGY 206  or ANA 109  and ANA 110 ; MA 109  or math ACT score of 25 or above; CHE 104  or CHE 105 ), complete a minimum of 45 credit hours, and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA prior to enrolling in restricted classes or be provided with an override by the instructor in special circumstances, and thus, be able to register in KHP 415 , KHP 420G , KHP 445 , KHP 450 , KHP 473 , KHP 577 , and KHP 578 . Transfer students may complete the equivalent of the required courses at another academic institution. Transfer students are responsible for obtaining and submitting the syllabi of those courses to the academic advisor unless existing established transfer equivalency can be found on the official University of Kentucky Transfer Equivalency Database. 
5. Students will be required to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average (GPA). Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 or who have two consecutive term GPAs below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation by currently existing university rules. 
6. After admittance to the program, students not only must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA, they must continue to exhibit desirable professional characteristics to remain in the program. Students who demonstrate a lack of commitment, effort, professional behavior, and knowledge may be removed from the program until these characteristics are demonstrated.
