Applications for the above minors and concentrations are available in the appropriate departmental office. Students who have majors in the school and are interested in completing any of these programs should work closely with their adviser and department chair to ensure timely graduation. Students considering a minor or concentration must abide by College policies and regulations for these programs.

In accordance with all-College regulations that relate specifically to minors, all departments in HS&HP have determined that a course that is a requirement in a student's major and also a requirement in one of the above minors may count for credit to meet the requirements of both the major and the minor.

Teacher education students in any major may also apply for coaching certification.

The School of Health Sciences and Human Performance maintains the General Instructional Program in Physical Education (GIPPE), which offers a broad spectrum of skill courses designed to provide students with instruction at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels in physical activities that meet individual student interests and needs. Majors and nonmajors are encouraged to participate in GIPPE. See p. 107 for a complete list of GIPPE offerings.

Participation in activity classes, intramural and club sports, or intercollegiate athletics requires clearance from the Hammond Health Center. Because many activity courses are required in physical education, medical clearance is required for this major. If a student cannot be cleared by the health center for a variety of activities, he or she will not be able to complete the requirements for these degrees.
