Registration Dates
The date of your registration, as indicated by the Registrar’s Office, is determined by the grades from previous session and your year standing in the School of Human Kinetics. The year standing of a Human Kinetics student is determined by the number of Human Kinetics credits and non-Human Kinetics credits completed in the chosen program stream. Students who have questions regarding their assigned year standing should consult the Undergraduate Advising Centre. The current dates are available on the Student Services website.
Determining Degree Requirements
In order to obtain a BHK degree, students must...
1) fulfill the 120 credit requirement and complete 60 credits at UBC. BHK students may not receive a degree without completing the equivalent of two winter sessions (60 credits) in attendance at the University, one of which should be the final year. This regulation applies to all students, including transfer students from colleges or other institutions, education abroad students, and students who are pursuing a second undergraduate degree.
2) satisfy all the stream requirements by completing studies either at UBC or elsewhere
3) satisfy at least 50% of the credits required for the stream while registered in the stream ; and
4) complete upper-division UBC credits (300/400 level courses) to satisfy at least 50% of the credits required by point (3) above.
Program streams
All BHK students are required to choose a program stream (IDHK, KINH, PEDH) in order to register for 3rd year courses through On-line Registration. Students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of their registration as it relates to the requirements of their program stream and BHK degree.
Program Specialization Codes
- Interdisciplinary Studies (IDHK) 1515

Credit Requirements
Each of the three program streams in the School of Human Kinetics requires completion of a minimum 120 credits. Students normally complete 30 credits of study per academic year. Under normal circumstances students must complete a minimum of 9 Human Kinetics credits per year and a maximum of 33 total credits per year. In special circumstances permission may be granted to deviate from the established credit limits. Such permission must be received from the Undergraduate Advising Centre prior to commencing studies.
Promotion Requirements
- FROM YEAR 1 TO YEAR 2: IDHK, KINH, and PEDH Streams: Successful completion of 24 total credits including: HKIN 103, 151, 161 and 190, and 191.
- FROM YEAR 2 TO YEAR 3: IDHK, KINH, and PEDH: Successful completion of 48 total credits including: ENGL 112, HKIN 103, 151, 161, 190, 191, 230, 231, 261, 275, and 284.
- FROM YEAR 3 TO YEAR 4: Successful completion of at least 78 or more appropriate credits which must include ENGL 112, 1st year and 2nd year HKIN core courses.
Registering for Courses
Under normal circumstances students should register for their courses by utilizing the ON-LINE REGISTRATION SYSTEM. Students who are unable to access on-line registration system via the internet should seek assistance from the Undergraduate Advising Centre. It is very important to change your PIN number when registering for your courses to maintain confidentiality regarding your grades, courses and fees.
In order to log in to the on-line registration system, students will require a Campus-Wide Login (CWL) account. If you do not have a CWL account yet, please visit the Student Service Centre (SSC), click 'Login' and enter in your Student Number and SSC password. This will allow you to create a CWL account if you do not have one already.
Wait List Registration
If, when registering on Online Registration you find that you cannot register into the course you want because it is full, Online Registration should prompt you to register into the wait list section if one is available. Being registered in a wait list section does not guarantee you a seat in the actual class. HKIN wait list sections are reviewed after the initial class has taken place. (4th Year HKIN students automatically have priority into HKIN program required classes provided the course is needed for graduation. 4th Year HKIN students will not automatically get a seat if the course is being used as an elective in their program.) Priority on the wait list section is given to students with the highest year level and earliest Online Registration date onto the wait list. For example a 3rd Year HKIN student will have priority over a 2nd Year HKIN student; however, among all 3rd Year HKIN students the date of registration gives priority.
NOTE: It is not possible for the Online Registration system or the Undergraduate Advising Centre to ascertain students’ position in the wait list section. Students are responsible for checking their registration by accessing the Online Registration system. Transfers from wait lists will be indicated on the Online Registration. Students are also responsible for de-registering from any wait lists and checking to see if they have been placed in the course.

Prerequisites and Corequisites
- Students should carefully check the UBC Calendar on the web, School of Human Kinetics course descriptions to determine the prerequisite and corequisite requirements in School of Human Kinetics courses.
- Students who register in a course without having successfully completed any prerequisite course work, or without having written authorization from a course instructor, may be removed from the course.
- Authorization from the course instructor and the Undergraduate Advising Centre is required to drop courses after posted withdrawal dates. Requests will not be considered without a rationale.
Failed Courses
No failed course may be repeated more than once without special permission obtained from the Undergraduate Advising Office. The School of Human Kinetics does not offer supplemental examinations.
Changing Program stream
Students who wish to change their program stream must meet with the Undergraduate Advisor.

Deviating From Program stream Requirements
Under certain special circumstances students may request to take courses which differ from the requirements of the selected stream. Students who wish to request permission to deviate from their stream requirements must meet with the Undergraduate Advisor.
Lower (Junior)/Upper (Senior) Credits
Lower level credits: courses numbered 100 or 200.
Upper level credits: courses numbered 300 or 400.
NOTE: lower level credits cannot be used to satisfy upper level credit requirements.
Transfer Credits
Students transferring to UBC from BC colleges or other institutions may receive transfer credit for studies completed at the previous institution. Transfer credit will be determined by UBC’s Registrar’s Office at the time of admission. No more than 60 credits can be transferred.
For students transferring from colleges within BC, please check the BC College Transfer Credit Equivalency Chart (pdf).
Unassigned Transfer Credits
If course work completed at another institution does not articulate (course equivalency has not been previously determined by UBC) with a specific UBC course, the Registrar’s Office may apply unassigned transfer credit. These unassigned transfer credits can only be used to fulfill elective requirements and cannot be used in place of any specific HKIN course. The Registrar will determine the credit value and the UBC year of study to which the unassigned credit can be applied.
top
Precluded Credit
In assigning transfer credits, the Registrar’s Office sometimes assign a “preclusion” to certain Human Kinetics courses. The “preclusion” designation indicates that the course work is similar to an existing UBC course and therefore the UBC equivalent course cannot be taken at UBC. When courses are “precluded”, the Registrar’s Office applies a certain number of credits for the “precluded” course and assigns those credits to a specific year of study. Preclusions are common in the School of Human Kinetics for HKIN 361, 364 and 368. Three credits are awarded for each of these courses at Year 2. Students who have received preclusions for these 3rd Year UBC courses should be aware that transfer credit can be applied only to fulfill 2nd Year Elective requirements. The UPPER LEVEL HKIN credit deficits THAT EXIST BECAUSE OF PRECLUDED CREDITS must be made up by taking additional UPPER LEVEL Human Kinetics course work at UBC.
Second Degree Requirements
Students who have completed a previous undergraduate degree and wish to pursue a BHK as a 2nd degree must successfully complete all BHK program requirements and successfully complete a minimum of 60 credits of study at UBC. In certain cases, course work from the previous degree may be applied to fulfill BHK degree requirements. Second degree students must have their program approved in writing by the Undergraduate advising centre.
Off Campus Study
BHK students who wish permission to take any courses outside of UBC must receive prior written approval from the Undergraduate Advising Centre. Students who complete credit toward their BHK degree at another institute may obtain transfer credit from that institution only if prior written permission has been obtained from the Undergraduate Advising Centre.
