CLASS ENROLMENT & COURSE PLANNING

QUEST is the University of Waterloo’s student information system. The system supports student records,enrollment, financial and administrative information.

You can use QUEST to do the following:

T register for your courses on lineT add courses - during the first two weeks of the termT drop courses - during the first three weeks of the termT request official transcriptsT review and print unofficial grade reportsT track your progress towards your degree requirementsT view your tuition and residence financial statementsT update your address and phone number

For further information go to: www.quest.uwaterloo.ca

Class Enrolment

Getting the most from your university education requires planning. Advisors, professors, upper yearstudents, employers and graduates as well as the Handbook are good sources of information whenyou are trying to select the courses that best suit your needs.

Selection of courses for each academic term occurs in the prior term. You will be given anappointment time on QUEST which will extend for 4 days. During this time you will register for yourcourses for the following term on line.

Prior to your appointment time, you may consult your handbook, calendar and/or faculty advisor forassistance in course selection. General information regarding course selection is available from JanetCoulter (BMH 3025). Class times and enrolment numbers will be available to assist you in planninga conflict free schedule. Once you have determined your course selections you will register for yourcourses on line using the QUEST system.

When planning your course selections, keep the following points in mind.

1) Fulfilling Degree Requirements

The requirements for the Honours B.Sc. are 40 term courses. Option or Minor requirements mayresult in more than 40 term courses. Specific requirements are outlined on page 10. Degreerequirements for the General B.Sc. are specified on page 14.

Choosing Outside Required Courses

1. Any one of CS 100, CS 121, CS 123, CS 200 or CS 316 must be completed by the end ofthird year (3N if Regular, 3B if Co-op).

2. Students interested in continuing their education at professional schools after graduationshould consult the following website: www.ahs.uwaterloo.ca/current/proadvising.html

2) Following Recommended Course Sequence for Required Courses

Courses in Kinesiology are not separate entities but closely linked to each other. Each course isbased on what the student has learned before and what will be learned in subsequent courses. Therecommended sequence of required courses has been developed so that students follow a logical,coherent, and conflict free program.

3) Choosing Electives

The structure of the Kinesiology program allows you to choose your own package of elective coursesor seek an OPTION program. Several strategies can be used when selecting courses:

- follow the guidelines for one of the areas of concentration or Option Programs - concentrate on one academic area (i.e. biomechanics, physiology, psychology, psychomotor

behaviour or sociology)- design a custom package based on your academic interests and career aspirations

Whichever strategy you adopt, make sure that:

- your course selections meet degree requirements (7 Kinesiology electives, 10 free electives)- you have met the admission requirements for graduate and/or professional programs that you

plan to apply to - you choose courses from subject areas that you are interested in and want to learn more

about - you carefully read the UW calendar for details about academic programs, course descriptions

and prerequisites- you consult with an advisor as needed

4) Planning Elective Course Sequences

Before registering each term, we suggest that you make a master list of courses that you areinterested in taking. Check the UW Calendar (www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca) for descriptions,prerequisites and the terms the courses are normally offered in. Also check the Schedule of Classes(www.uwaterloo.ca/course.html) to verify that each course is being offered: when professors areon sabbatical leave, their elective courses are typically not offered. Then using the planning form onpage 11 to map out the sequence you intend to follow (make sure to include prerequisites). ThisPlanning form will be revised many times as your interests change or become more focussed.

Grade RequirementsAn overall cumulative average of 53.0% and a major cumulative average of 60% is required.

Note: Only offered on a Regular basis; may be taken part-time.Full time students may choose to proceed in the general program, or be required to continue in the generalprogram (due to lowered averages) after 1 year. Honours status will be restored if averages allow.

NOTES TO REMEMBER:

Time Limit:Students entering the Kinesiology program directly from high school have 8 years from first registration to completethe program. If a student transfers into Kinesiology after completing a year in another program, that student has 7years to complete the program.

English Language Proficiency Requirement All AHS students must satisfy one of the following: a grade of 80% or better in OAC English1 or ENG4U, OR a gradeof 60 or better on the UW English Language Proficiency Exam (ELPE), OR successfully complete the program offeredby the UW Writing Clinic, OR successful completion of a university level English course with a grade of 60% or better(acceptable UW courses are ENGL 109, 129R, 140R, 209, any 210 course, 240R). AHS students who did not attendan Ontario High School must write the ELPE. Students who have not completed the English LanguageProficiency requirement by the end of second year will have their future registrations cancelled andwill be allowed to proceed only after successful completion of this requirement. For further informationgo to: http://watarts.uwaterloo.ca/~abarrett/clinic.html

Course Workload:Students are required to take a minimum of 5 courses each term. If a reduced course workload is anticipated, studentsmust consult the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies (Dr. Ian Williams). It is possible to arrange the full-timeequivalent of ten term courses over three consecutive terms. This may be arranged in consultation with Dr. Williamsand only where the courses are offered in the term sought.

Appeal Petition Procedure: In considering certain decisions, such as modifying a degree requirement or reconsidering a penalty imposed for anacademic offense, the student has the right to appeal. A Student Appeal Policy and Procedure was developed in 1989to ensure that all decisions and appeals on decisions are fair. Any student seeking assistance regarding an appealshould see his/her Associate Dean or the Federation of Students Office or the Ombudsperson.

Transfer Credit Policy: Courses to be transferred from a previously attended university or academic institution must be relevant to theKinesiology program and roughly equivalent to University of Waterloo's courses. Only those courses in which astudent has received 60% or better are eligible for transfer credit. The maximum number of courses which can betransferred is the equivalent of twenty (20) term courses. Transfer students must see Dr. Williams for assessment oftransfer credits.

REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES

Î AUDITING A COURSE

This is rarely used and will require payment of the full course fee. It is the responsibility of you the studentto inform the course instructor at the beginning of the course that you would like to audit the course. Theinstructor and you may then form a contract outlining the particular auditing requirements for that course. AHSstudents are able to audit courses in Arts, Engineering and AHS. Science, Mathematics and EnvironmentalStudies do not allow students to audit their courses.

Ï CHANGING YOUR PROGRAM OF STUDY

A. Changing from Co-op to Regular - In most cases this process is not difficult. Students are permittedto transfer from Co-op to Regular provided they have not committed themselves to a job. To changeyou must:

i) Complete a Plan Modification Form (available from Kin UG Office, BMH 3025 or downloadat: www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/inforeg/current/index.html

ii) The Plan Modification Form must be signed by the Associate Chair for UndergraduateStudies and the Co-op Co-ordinator in Needles Hall.

B. Changing from Regular to Co-op - This process is sometimes more difficult because of the limitedenrollment in Co-op. To transfer from Regular to Co-op you must:i) Contact the Co-op Co-ordinator in the Co-operative Education Department to determine

whether space is available.ii) Complete a Plan Modification form and obtain signatures from the Associate Chair for

Undergraduate Studies and the Co-op Co-ordinator.

C. Changing to another academic program within UW - Arrange an appointment with the Associate Chairin the department that you wish to enter and complete a Plan Modification Form.

Ð TAKING COURSES AT WILFRID LAURIER

The procedure for enrollment in courses at WLU depends upon whether the course(s) is listed in the UW Schedule of Classes. If the course is listed with the division code "WLU", the student may register for thecourse as if it were a UW course. If the course is not listed, the student must complete a separate Cross-Registration Form available from the Undergraduate Coordinator (BMH 3025) or from the UW Registrar’sOffice Website under printable forms (www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/inforeg/current/index.html)

Ñ LETTER OF PERMISSION POLICY

A student may request permission to take a course(s) at another university for credit at Waterloo. A maximumof 5.0 credits can be obtained this way. The Associate Chair may approve up to 2.5 credits. Requests foradditional approval must go to AHS Undergraduate Studies Committee. To obtain any approval the studentmust:T obtain a Letter of Permission Request form from the Registrar's Office or download

(http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/inforeg/current/index.html) andT provide the details of the course(s) to be taken, appropriate course descriptions and the reasons for

the request. T There is a $25.00 fee to process a Letter of Permission.

22

When approved:

T the Associate Chair will forward the approval to the Assistant Registrar for Applied Health Scienceswho will prepare the appropriate Letter of Permission and forward it to the student, the host universityand the major department concerned.

T It will be the student's responsibility to ensure that an official transcript is sent to the AssistantRegistrar, Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Needles Hall, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontariowithin two months of the completion of the course(s). This will enable the credit to be applied to thestudents record.

Note: The granting of any Letter of Permission request by the University of Waterloo does not necessarilyensure that you will be able to take that course at another university. There may be restrictions onclass enrollments, etc. at that institution. You should contact the institution's Registrar's Office forprocedural details at that end.

Ò DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSES

Students wishing to be enrolled in Distance Education Courses during their on campus term may registerthrough QUEST. Distance Education courses are listed in the Schedule of Classes at:http://www.uwaterloo.ca/course.html

Ó EXAMINATION PERIOD

Each term the formal lecture period, as defined by the dates published in the University UndergraduateCalendar, normally ends two or three days before final examinations begin. The periods between the end ofthe formal lecture period and the beginning of final examinations shall be ones in which no instructor shall bepermitted to administer, and no student shall be required to sit for, examinations, tests or lectures. Sinceexamination dates are scheduled by the Registrar, a student can expect to have an exam at any scheduledtime during the entire examination period. Students who have "valid reasons" may request to write an examat a time other than that scheduled by consulting with their professor. Holidays and travel plans do not usuallyconstitute valid reasons.

No instructor shall be permitted to administer, and no student shall be required to sit for, final examinationsduring the formal lecture period. Any unresolved disagreements between an instructor and student concerningan interpretation of whether an exam should be regarded as a "final" will be decided by the Associate DeanUndergraduate Studies (AHS).

Instructors are encouraged to hold other tests or examinations during the regularly scheduled class time fortheir courses. An instructor who chooses to schedule a test or examination to be held outside of, or to extendbeyond, the regularly scheduled class time will be required to provide suitable alternative time arrangementsfor any students with legitimate conflicts. Discrepancies between an instructor and student will be decidedby the Associate Dean Undergraduate Studies (AHS).

Instructors are encouraged to avoid requiring students to sit for examinations or tests during the timescheduled for co-op interviews for a succeeding work term.

No student shall be required to sit for a test or examination, during the formal lecture period which is heldoutside the time period 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday inclusive.

An instructor who selects a time outside this period, to schedule a test or examination must provide alternativetime arrangements within the Monday to Friday time period for any students requesting such an alternative.

23

Ô STANDING

Academic decisions will be made at the end of each term.

The following CUMULATIVE AVERAGES are required to proceed in Kinesiology:

Program Overall Major Field

Kinesiology Honours 63 67Kinesiology General 53 60

If you do not achieve these minimum averages you will be required to withdraw. Students who are below therequired averages for Honours Kinesiology but are within the minimum averages of General Kinesiology maycontinue as a 4 year General Kinesiology student. General Kinesiology students are not permitted to beenrolled in Co-op. General Kinesiology students will be permitted to re-enter the Honours Kinesiologyprogram upon achievement of Honours averages.

NON-GRADED STANDINGS

Grade Description Value

AEG Aegrotat, credit granted due to illness N/ACR Credit granted N/ADNW Did not write examination, 32

No credit grantedFTC Failure to complete incomplete course 32

work, no credit grantedINC Incomplete course work, N/A

No credit grantedIP Course in progress, no grade assigned N/A

at this time, no credit grantedNMR No mark reported, no credit granted 32

INC - A grade of INC (Incomplete) may only be given when an agreement between a student and aninstructor has been negotiated regarding completion of academic requirements for a course. A student whoreceives an INC must clear that grade within 8 months, otherwise it will revert to a grade of 32 and is thencalculated in the overall and major average.

Kinesiology students who receive a grade report with one of a failing grade, INC, DNW or NMR in any oneacademic year are placed on probation for the following academic year.

Students who receive a grade report with two or more of any combination of the following: failing grade, INC,DNW or NMR in any one academic year are designated as "May not proceed in the program".

If a student clears their failure, INC and DNW grades prior to their next registration, the decision on his/hergrade report may be changed.

Students who are required to withdraw may be eligible to apply for readmission only after one year absence.It is recommended that during this absence students do some academic work (extension, correspondence,or community college study) in order to demonstrate that they should be readmitted.

24

GRADES REPORTED ON THE TRANSCRIPT AND GRADE REPORT

All grades awarded to a student are recorded on the transcript. If a student fails a course thenrepeats the course and passes, both courses are shown on the transcript and both marks are countedin the overall and/or major average. The same rules hold for a student who upgrades a course bytaking the same course twice.

APPEALS

Students who wish to appeal a grade received for a course should:

STEP 1: Contact the professor associated with the course and attempt to resolve it.

STEP 2: If the student is not satisfied with the decision, then the matter may be pursued furtherthrough the Student Appeal Policy and Procedures. An Appeal form may be obtained by making anappointment to speak with the Associate Dean.

Note: When an AHS student wishes to appeal a grade for a course outside the faculty, they should followStep 1 and, if unresolved, appeal formally to the Assistant Registrar for AHS.

25

HONOURS CO-OP KINESIOLOGY PROGRAMERGONOMICS OPTIONInjuries occur in the workplace every day. While this is a sad commentary on the quality of worker safety it presentsoutstanding challenges to Ergonomists/Kinesiologists. The Department of Kinesiology of the University of Waterloopresents the only undergraduate ergonomics program in Canada. The ergonomics option is a unique opportunity toprepare those interested in making a contribution to the well-being of others. Kinesiologists are concerned with theassessment and prescription of solutions to problems in the workplace that involve issues such as human-machineinteraction, matching skill level with job demands, employee wellness, circadian rhythm, workplace boredom, fatigue,design of equipment in the interests of maximizing productivity and minimizing the risk of injury.Students who enroll in this co-op program will be rewarded with deeper insight into solving workplace problems, thanother students outside of the option. Our department has been the leader in producing graduates secure high payingjobs due to their co-op job experience and comprehensive course work. The course requirements have been selectedto provide students with a thorough background in the biophysical and behavioural sciences of human motion andrelated measurement and problem solving skills. Following are admission and graduation requirements.1. Kinesiology students will apply at the end of first year for admission to the program for the Fall term of Year2. Application materials will be available from the ergonomics coordinator during the Winter term. Approximately

10 students per year will be selected, dependent upon the number of Co-op jobs available.3. Normally at least three of the last four work terms, including work term reports, must be ergonomics related.4. Forty-four term courses must be completed. (See UW calendar Program Courses p. 6:13).5. The cumulative averages required are the same as for Honours Kinesiology.

HONOURS CO-OP KINESIOLOGY PROGRAM NEUROBEHAVIOURAL ASSESSMENT OPTION*This limited enrolment Co-op program is intended to help prepare graduates who can evaluate the physiological,biomechanical, and neurobehavioural bases of perceptual motor function in persons from special populations suchas the elderly and those with acquired or developmental disorders. The emphasis is on identifying functionalimpairments from a strong background in the neurosciences and the behavioural and biophysical sciences related tothe learning and control of human movement.

1. The option will be offered as part of the Co-op programme. Students will be admitted to the programme forthe Fall term in Year Two. First year grades, previous experience in working with special populations and,in some cases, an interview will all be sources of information used in making admission decisions.Approximately ten students per year will be selected, depending on the number of Co-op jobs available.

2. Normally at least three of the last four work terms, including work term reports, must be related toneurobehavioural assessment activities.

3. Forty term courses must be completed. (See UW calendar Program Courses p. 6:14). Students will also berequired to participate in a non-credit tutorial (KIN 1) each term for work term review, advising and discussionof Neurobehavioural Assessment issues.

4. The cumulative averages required are the same as for Honours Kinesiology.

FOURTH YEAR PROJECTEach Honours Kinesiology student may elect either a Research Proposal (Kinesiology 431) or Senior

Essay (Kinesiology 433). Students in the Ergonomics and Neurobehavioural Assessment Option, and thePedorthics Stream, are required to complete KIN 431 and 432. Students who complete Kinesiology 43l areexpected to complete the research proposed in Kinesiology 432; Research Project. Each of these papers(Kinesiology 431, 432 and Kinesiology 433) is prepared on an approved topic and is supervised by a facultymember.

Third year students should seek an advisor and KIN 391 in the term prior to taking KIN 431. KIN 433should also be arranged in advance. Attendance at a fourth year meeting held during the first week of classeswill outline procedures for KIN 431/2/3. Attendance at this meeting is mandatory. Date and time of the fourthyear meeting will be posted and announced in classes.

Students intending extensive data analysis should ensure that they will have sufficient familiarity withthe software intended for word processing, graphics, data reduction or statistical processing. Check the hoursof availability for Statistical Consulting Services: they encourage consultation prior to data collection. CS 316is a term course (Winter) which gives a comprehensive coverage of statistical processing using SAS. Youshould discuss this preparation at the first meeting with your supervisor.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL (KIN 431) COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course activity focuses on the development of an independent paper in the form of a researchproposal on an approved topic. The topic may include survey, field, laboratory, theoretical or appliedresearch, program evaluation, mathematical modelling, fitness appraisal, etc. The format of the proposal isdetermined in consultation with the advisor, and may be in chapters or in journal style.

It is the student’s responsibility to initiate discussion with an advisor before class enrolment. This topicselection process should thus be initiated during the term prior to registering in KIN 431. Target dates forcompletion of drafts of the introduction, literature review, and methods sections should be established.Approval for the use of subjects, in accordance with the policies of the Office of Research Ethics must beobtained. Where the advisor prefers to provide feedback prior to commencement of the final typedmanuscript, time must be allocated.

It is expected that the student will spend approximately 10 hours per week in discussions with theadvisor, library research, apparatus development.

RESEARCH PROJECT (KIN 432) COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course activity focuses on the conduct, analysis, and write-up of an independent research projecton an approved topic. The topic may include survey, experimental, or theoretical research, programevaluation, mathematical modelling, fitness appraisal, etc. It is an elective course for those students whocomplete KIN 431.

The student is responsible, in consultation with the advisor, to conduct the proposed and approvedresearch, to analyze the results, and to write on the findings. The write-up may be in a chapter format (resultsand discussion, summary and conclusions) including the proposal chapters, or the entire project may bewritten up as if for journal publication. Target dates for the completion of each stage are to be established.Allowance may be needed for feedback from the advisor prior to commencement of the final typed manuscript.

It is expected that the student will spend approximately 10 hours per week in carrying out the researchproject and write-up.

41

SENIOR ESSAY (KIN 433) COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course activity focuses on an extensive critical review of the literature on an approved topic. Thetopics will be broader in scope than those associated with specific research proposals. Although new dataare not gathered, it is expected that the review will allow conclusions to be reached regarding the topicchosen.

It is the student’s responsibility to initiate discussions with an advisor before class enrolment. Thistopic selection process can be initiated in the term prior to that in which the course is to be taken. Targetdates are to be established for the completion of drafts of the sections of the paper (e.g., introduction, literaturereview,discussion, conclusions). Time allowance may be needed for feedback from the advisor prior tocommencement of the final typed manuscript.

It is expected that the student will spend approximately 10 hours per week in research and writing upthe essay.

SEMINAR IN KINESIOLOGY (KIN 470)

The course provides a forum for the examination of current major issues and trends in Kinesiology,with faculty supervising sections for different theme areas. Students select topics within the theme area forthe section in which they are registered. Within this general format, individual instructors are free toemphasize various approaches based on literature review, project generated data, presentation of developedmodels, etc.

In groups of up to 16 students per section, the skills of presenting, reacting, and discussing aredeveloped. Students are encouraged to develop skills associated with presentation, including the design andpreparation of visual aids, preparing materials for spoken vs. written formats, the fielding of questions, etc.

Grading may be based on presentations, participation in discussion and questioning, and writtenreports.

DIRECTED STUDY IN SPECIAL TOPICS (KIN 472)

A course intended "for the student who desires to pursue a particular topic in depth through guidedindependent research and/or reading."

The following guidelines are recommended for this course which is generally reserved for outstandingstudents only:

1. To be eligible to take KIN 472, the student must have successfully completed (or be takingconcurrently) all of the substantive courses in a given area, (e.g., Physiology: KIN 105, 205,401, 402, 405, 407).

2. The student must consult with an advisor who is willing to guide the 472 course. The advisormust sign the registration into KIN 472.

3. The topic for KIN 472 must be substantially different from that taken in 431/432, 470.4. A brief course outline (detailing the procedures of research if this is done, or the readings

given, etc.) is to be presented to the Associate Chair, Undergraduate Studies. The purposeof this is to place the course material "on file".

5. The student is to consult with the advisor on a regular basis throughout the term.6. Regular grading procedures will apply with INC given only in exceptional circumstances.

IT’S TIME TO GRADUATE

T Check That You Have Met All Degree Requirements

Before you can graduate, you must meet all the academic requirements for your degree. Go through yourgrade report before your last year and make sure your 4th year courses will fulfill your remaining requirements.Be sure that a copy of the checklist and plan for your final two terms is given to Janet to be placed in your file.

T Fill Out an Intent to Graduate Form

You’ll need to let the Registrar’s Office know that you would like to graduate. You can do this by filling out anIntent to Graduate Form. Pick one up from the Undergraduate Coordinator or from the Registrar’s Office. UWholds two graduation services each year (Convocation). You can graduate at either one. They are in June(Spring Convocation) and October (Fall Convocation). Return your Intent to Graduate Form to the Registrar’sOffice by March 1 for Spring Convocation or August 1 for Fall Convocation. The Intent to Graduate form isavailable from the Kinesiology Undergrad. Office (BMH 3025) or may be downloaded from the Registrar’sOffice website at:

http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/inforeg/textversion.html

T Have Your Grad Photos Taken

Each year a private photography company comes to campus to take grad photos. They usually take picturesin June (for 4A students), October (for Regular students), and January (for anyone who missed the previousdates). Look for posters advertising when they’ll be here. Sign up sheets are usually on the StudentAssociation Office wall (in the BMH Lounge).

T Help Plan Your Grad Formal

Each year there is an Applied Health Sciences Grad Committee (consisting of 4th year students) that plansand hosts a Grad Formal in March. The Committee plans the entire event. The first meeting is in early May(Co-op students). The planning continues in September when the Regular students are on campus. InJanuary, the Co-op and Regular classes work together to finish up the final details.

T The Graduating Class Chooses a Valedictorian

At each Spring Convocation, a Valedictorian representing the graduating class addresses the graduates. TheApplied Health Sciences students graduate with Environmental Studies and Independent Studies students.The Valedictorian is chosen from one of these three faculties. The graduating class is asked to nominatestudents for Valedictorian. The nominees from the three faculties prepare a speech and present it to theValedictorian committee (the deans, a number of faculty, student association reps, etc). The committee thenchooses the Valedictorian.

43

The Big Day - Convocation

UW holds two convocations each year. There are five different graduation ceremonies at Spring Convocation.Applied Health Sciences students graduate with students from Environmental Studies and IndependentStudies on Wednesday afternoon. Graduates from other faculties convocate either Thursday or Fridayafternoon, Saturday morning or Saturday afternoon depending on the faculty. If you have submitted an Intentto Graduate Form, you will receive Convocations instructions. These instructions will include details suchas when you must arrive, where to pick up your gown, when and where the reception is, etc. For convocationinformation go to:

http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/inforeg/records/convocation.html

Start Your Job Search Early

You’ll want to allow yourself plenty of time to prepare for your job search. Researching employers andpreparing your resumé is an important part of your job search so make sure you begin early. Be sure to takeadvantage of the services available on campus. Career Services has information to help you begin yoursearch. The university also holds a Career Fair in late September.
