- The Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science complies with university policy regarding the re-taking of courses. Exercise Science students who fail a course (D or F) in the Kinesiology core may retake the class for a second time. If they earn a failing grade (D or F) a second time, they will not be allowed to petition to repeat the course for a third time. These students will not be able to complete the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science requirements and will be required to declare a new major.
