Students in the BPE/BEd Combined Degrees take a program of *159 over five years. During this five-year program, Physical Education courses and Education courses are studied concurrently. Students apply for admission to the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation and are registered in that Faculty for the first three years of the program.

a minimum AGPA of 2.0 has been achieved and

(2)

a minimum of *90 applicable to the BPE/BEd program has been successfully completed.

Note: Students in Year 3 who have completed less than *90 toward the BPE/BEd program but who have an AGPA of at least 2.0 may select one of the following program alternatives: (1) remain in Year 3 of the BPE/BEd degree program in the Faculty of Physical Education for one additional year, or (2) apply to enter the BPE degree program and complete a modified individualized Concentration.
