Do the Labs meet the first week of class?
YES. All face-to-face PED 101 labs meet in the upstairs section of the coliseum in Trask on the first day of your scheduled lab.
Online Labs will be available through the course management system no later than the first day of classes.
Do I need to dress out for the first day of lab?
NO. On the first day of your scheduled lab, you will be given a schedule and a tour of the four activity locations. Attendance is very important.
Do I need to get a physical to enroll in PED 101?
YES. Each student participating in PED 101 must have an up-to-date physical on record with the UNCW Student Health Center (within the last four years). Questions about your physical should be directed to the Student Health Center 910-962-3280. Forms can be found online here.
What are the basics and specifics of Online PED 101?
Details about the online sections can be found here.
Does UNCW offer a military waiver for PED 101?
Yes. Students who are currently serving in the US military and veterans who served for 2 or more years will receive a waiver for PED 101. Upon applying to UNCW, students are instructed to provide a military transcript to the Admissions office or to the Registrar's office if they have already been admitted.
Many military veterans also receive elective credit hours for Basic Training, depending on their transcripts.
In the event that PED 101 is waived, the 2 credit hours are not awarded- students are merely exempt from taking the class. However, in the event that the American Council on Education recommends that veterans receive elective credit hours, the hours will go towards the 124 semester hours needed to graduate.
How can I find out if a course I took at another institution substitutes for PED 101?
Email a course description and syllabus from the other university to the PED 101 Coordinator, Dr. Cara Sidman, at sidmanc@uncw.edu She will email the decision of approval or denial.
If a course I took at another institution is approved as a substitute for PED 101, what do I do?
Have your faculty advisor complete and sign the Substitution/Waiver of Degree Requirements
Mail or scan/email the completed form to Dr. Cara Sidman at Campus Box 5956, Dept of HAHS (or email to sidmanc@uncw.edu)
The form will then be signed by the HAHS Department Chair, sent to the Dean’s office for a final signature and to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
