Admission is Competitive
The Department of Biomedical Physiology & Kinesiology strictly adheres to the University's course repeat limits due to the large number of qualified applicants.
Students not meeting the competitive admission/approval GPA can consult with Student Services or Sci-Space regarding suitable program alternatives.
Limits on Repeated Courses
