BPK 343 and BPK 482 Enrolment Information

SFU is required by law to ensure that every student registered in a practicum that involves working with children or vulnerable adults undergoes a CRRA Criminal Record Check. The University must submit consent forms with payment to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General. SFU is prohibited by law to permit students to work with children or vulnerable adults without a CRRA Criminal Record Check. List of BPK Courses requiring a CRRA Criminal Record Check is as follows:

  • BPK 343 – Active Health: Assessment & Programming
  • BPK 445 – Advanced Cardiac Rehabilitation
  • BPK 482 - Ergonomics and Rehabilitation

The Criminal Record Check is coded as a prerequisite for the above courses and cannot be waived by law.

Please refer to the process for Criminal Records Check on SFU Student Service website here: https://www.sfu.ca/students/criminalrecords.html

By law, SFU cannot accept CRC's done through other agencies including the RCMP. Students with criminal record checks conducted through agencies other than the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General are still expected to fulfill this requirement. Further, the process for a Criminal Record Check must be undertaken by SFU only.

Since the document is valid for 5 years, it would be a good idea to get it done far in advance of your enrollment for any of the listed courses as the processing time can vary.

Physics 347: Introduction to Biological Physics

This course bridges the fields of biological sciences (with a focus on the molecular and cellular levels) with physics. It aims to give students a conceptual and quantitative sense of the important energy, length, force and timescales in microscale biological systems. Have you ever wondered about how cargo is transported in our cells? Did you know that the protein motors doing this transport are ridiculously strong and very efficient compared with anything we have humans have been able to devise?  Have you ever wondered how 2 metres of DNA is able to pack into each one of our cell nuclei?  Or how neurons control the flow of ions to generate signals?  Or maybe you enjoy(ed) Physics but have never thought about how it could be applied to understanding biology, or that we can actually learn a lot of new physics by studying biological systems. If these ideas pique your interest, please consider enrolling in Phys 347 this fall!

Some added points to consider:

  • The course will be taught in person, with three lectures/week + tutorial. 
  • The course has minimal prerequisites (completion of 45 units including first-year Physics, Math and Chemistry; BISC 101 is recommended but not required) so that students from all science disciplines are welcome.  It does involve mathematical and physical calculations, so you will need these prerequisites, but will not rely on anything beyond these.
  • The course is particularly enjoyable when students are from a variety of backgrounds, so we gain multiple perspectives on the course material.

This course is offered biennially, with the next anticipated offering in Spring 2024. 

If you have any questions, concerns, or would like more information, please reach out to the course instructor: nforde@sfu.ca.
