Advising Notes for PETE

1. Students enrolled in the PETE must confer with their Physical Education Teacher Education option advisor during every semester they are enrolled in the program.
2. Students in the PETE must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (GPA) in all physical education option courses (32 units + core of 17 units). If the student falls below 3.0 GPA in the PETE for two consecutive semesters, he/she will be automatically disqualified. A student that achieves a GPA of 3.0 or higher fulfills Subject Matter Competency (SMC) and therefore may be exempt from taking the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET). Verification of SMC and recommendation for admission into the professional preparation program are the responsibility of the PETE option coordinator.
3. Transfer students must see PETE option advisor in the first semester.
4. Students may be able to double count KINES 32  with Core and General Education Area E.
5. PETE majors are required to take KAC 4 , KAC 6 , or KAC 103  as the activity component with KINES 32 .
6. Students are required to maintain current certification for Adult/Child CPR and First Aid.
