In the gymnasium, only tennis shoes are permitted. Failure to dress appropriately will be considered an unexcused absence. In some cases students will be expected to provide their own equipment. Students will be informed of this requirement in the Semester Bulletin and on the first day of class. Any time a person engages in physical activity there is an inherent risk for physical injury.
Some physical activities produce greater risk for injury that other physical activities do.
Developmentally appropriate instructional strategies will be employed in each physical activity laboratory to ensure that risk for injury is minimal. Risk factors associated with each laboratory will be identified on the first day of class. Instructors and students are expected to make reasonable and prudent decisions about engaging in physical activity so that risk for injury is reduced. Because injury risk may not be totally eliminated, students are strongly recommended to secure health insurance through the University or through their personal insurance carrier.
