PAC Policies and Procedures | College of Health and Human Sciences

Policies and Procedures

Instructors

PAC Classes are taught by full time faculty in Exercise and Sport Science, community, non-Exercise and Sport Science people hired as part time instructors, graduate teaching assistants, and the ROTC, wrestling, and crew coaches.

Credit

Undergraduate students receive one academic credit for each PAC successfully completed. Eleven credits may be counted toward graduation. Students may repeat the same class as many times as desired.

Registration

Enrollment in PAC classes follows the same procedures as all OSU classes. If the class is closed follow these suggestions:

Call the PAC Office (737-3222) or come by (LH 123) to see which classes are open or check the web for open sections. Continue to try and register periodically. People will drop classes and create openings.
Ask for the instructors office phone and location. Contact the instructor to see if there is a waiting list or a procedure unique to that class.
Go to the first class session and inform the instructor you are interested in adding. Continue to attend through the first week or until you receive a definite "yes" or "no".
Should the instructor allow you to add when the class is closed you must complete a form, have it stamped by the PAC office, and take it to the registrar by the end of the second week of the term. The correct form for the first week is a Closed Class Form. The second week requires the Add/Drop Form which must have the instructor's signature as well as the stamp. Some forms are available online, go to the Registrar's page.

Grades

Students may choose to take the class either for a grade or on an S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) basis. It may also be possible to audit a class and not receive a grade or credit. The instructor will need to give permission to audit a class.

Fees

Because the Program is expensive and not fully supported financially by the State System of Higher Education, there is an additional fee for each PAC. The fee as of Spring Term 2003 is $37. The following also have additional fees apart from the PAC fee: bowling, skiing, SCUBA, and some special topic classes. Although equipment is often provided without additional cost, there are classes where the student must provide equipment. Examples of such classes are: mountain biking, cycling, in-line skating, and in-line hockey.

A laboratory fee accompanies all PAC Classes; the student's account will be billed. Refunds of the PAC Fee and any additional fees follow the University guidelines for refunds as printed in the Schedule of Classes.

Locker and Towel Service

Each student in a PAC may check out a storage basket at no additional fee. These are located in either Langton Hall or Women's Building basement, and the check out room is also in the basement. Check out includes a lock and one towel. During class students may use the available large lockers for storage.

Students with Disabilities

The PAC Program is open to all students. Students with disabilities are welcome to take any class. Although it may be necessary to adapt equipment, the facility, or instruction to permit safe instruction every effort will be made to accommodate such requests. PAC 100, Adapted Physical Activity, is open only to students with permanent or temporary disabilities. It is an individual workout class taught by graduate students in Movement Studies in Disability and EXSS faculty. Students who are not able to complete other classes due to an injury or severe illness, may transfer to PAC 100 and continue to work for credit if able. This may either be a permanent transfer for the term, or the student may return to the original class. Both land and water sections are available. Joonkoo (J.K) Yun or Jeff McCubbin is available for consultation with students with a disability. Joonkoo Yun's office is located in Women's Building 103, 737-8584 and Jeff McCubbin is located in Women's Building 120, 737-3256.

Risks

Risk is associated with many of life's activities including the PAC Program. The College of HHP and the Department of Exercise and Sport Science will minimize these risks by providing safe activity areas, adequate equipment, and capable instruction. It is highly recommended that students purchase a student health/accident insurance policy. This is available through the University, private carriers, or in many cases, through a family policy. If uninsured, relatively minor accidents and/or health problems can lead to great expense.
