  3. Students who have been admitted to one program offered by the School and who wish to change to another program within the School must submit a new application for admission to the program. This application must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the March 1 deadline date and will be considered in competition with all other applications.

  4. Students admitted full time to a program and who decline the offer of admission or who fail to register for courses during the Fall term of admission will be considered withdrawn from the program.

  6. While the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation does not require criminal record checks or other screening procedures as a condition of admission to its program, Physical Education students may be required by a school district to submit a Certificate of Conduct before placement in a school setting, such as HKR 3110. Students are encouraged to seek the Certificate of Conduct before registration in HKR 3110. Each Physical Education student is responsible for obtaining a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary or Royal Canadian Mounted Police Certificate of Conduct at the student's own expense. Details are available from the General Office of the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation.
