KINE 198 might not fulfill any degree requirement for your intended major.Students may receive credit for KINE 198 only once while at A&M.However, if a student changes the grade type to S/U and performs at a level that would have been equivalent to a letter grade of D, the student will receive an unsatisfactory grade (U) and this will have the same effect on the student’s GPA as making an F. As the semester progresses, if you think you are not on track to earn a grade of “A” (or possibly “B”), it would be to your benefit to change the grade type to S/U so your GPA will not be lowered.( The last day this may be done for the Fall 2017 semester will be Friday, November 17 th.) Instructions for changing the grade type will be covered below. Students have the option of changing the grade type to “satisfactory/unsatisfactory” (S/U), often called “pass/fail,” between the 1 st and 60 th class day of the semester.

This is because the course includes graded academic content.

KINE 199 is one of the few courses at A&M that may be taken as many times as desired.Go to class! These should be easy/fun grade points to earn. Much of the grade in KINE 199 is based on attendance/participation.This will have the same effect on the student’s GPA as making an F! However, if the student performs at a level that would have been equivalent to a grade of D the student will receive an unsatisfactory grade (U). If a student takes KINE 199 “S/U”, and performs at a level that would have been equivalent to an A, B, or C, the student will receive a “satisfactory” grade (S) and this will not affect the GPA.You may change the grade type from S/U to a “letter grade” between the 1 st and 60 th class day of the semester.When you register for KINE 199 the default grade type is “satisfactory/unsatisfactory” (S/U), often called “pass/fail.”.It does not include any academic content but may involve mastery of the basic rules of a sport, or fundamentals of a physical activity (i.e., Running, Snow Skiing, Tennis, etc.).KINE 199 is called “Required Physical Activity.” This can be confusing because KINE 199 is not a required course unless you are a Kinesiology major.If you are registered for a one-credit hour KINE course, please continue reading-this is important. In fact, many students are currently registered for two KINE courses. There is a lot to know about these courses, to include how the grade type of the courses can affect grade point average (GPA), and “if, when, and how” students may change the grade type. Some TEAM Students are anxious to enroll in as many credit hours as possible at A&M, but the five credit hour limit per semester restricts them. Since most A&M courses are three-credit hours, and because there are very few two-credit hour courses, many TEAM students register for a one-credit hour Kinesiology (KINE) course.
