Kin 208 related Calendar Changes - School of Kinesiology
Rationale:
Kin 208 (Introduction to Physiological Systems) is a new course being offered by the School of Kinesiology to support the Biomedical Engineering program offered by the School of Engineering Science. Questions from students have arisen as to the equivalency of Kin 208 and 205 (Introduction to Human Physiology – required for Kinesiology Major) and Kin 105 (Fundamentals of Human Structure and Function – required for Kinesiology Minor, and Certificate Programs). The following calendar changes are required to clarify to students the equivalency issues, and are based upon the following two tenets:
Kin 205 and 208 are different courses with different prerequisites. Kin 208 would not be adequate to replace Kin 205 for Kinesiology Majors.
Kin 205 and 208 are acceptable replacements for Kin 105 in the Kinesiology Minor program, and Certificate Programs

KIN 105-3 Fundamentals of Human Structure and Function "Basic anatomy and physiology of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, urinary, digestive, immune, and reproductive systems.(distance education). Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics." |

Kinesiology majors and honors students may not receive credit for KIN 105. Kin 205 or 208 may be used as a substitute for Kin 105 by students in the Kinesiology Minor and Certificate programs. No student may take both KIN 105 and KIN 208 for credit. Recommended: grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics." |

KIN 205-3 Introduction to Human Physiology "An introductory survey of human physiology with an emphasis on mechanisms of regulation and integration. Anatomy of structures will be detailed only when it is critical to a functional understanding. Although this is intended as a survey course, some topics will be covered in reasonable detail in order to give insight into mechanisms of function. Prerequisite: MBB 221 (or BICH 221), PHYS 101 (or 120 or 125 or 140), and PHYS 102 (or 121 or 126 or 141). Kinesiology majors and honors students who have taken KIN 105 or Kin 208 must also take KIN 205. For students taking these courses, credit will only be given for KIN 205." |

Minor Program Application Requirements Application for a minor in kinesiology requires the following.
Admission is competitive. An admission GPA is established each semester and will be calculated on the five required courses listed above. If one or more courses have been duplicated (repeated), the grades from all course attempts will be used equally in calculating the kinesiology admission GPA. Program Requirements There is a maximum number of allowable transferable credits that count towards the minor program from any other institution, including the Open Learning Agency. See "Residency Requirements" on page 124. Students must complete one of KIN 105-3 Fundaments of Human Structure and Function KIN 205-3 Introduction to Human Physiology
