Requirements

All undergraduate students must earn three (3)* credits in physical education and/or wellness education to fulfill the graduation requirement for physical education. Credits may be earned by successfully completing activity courses, wellness-oriented non-activity courses, and participation in intercollegiate and club programs, ROTC, Marching Band, some OPO offerings and approved Dance goups. 

* Changes to Physical Education Requirements

Due to COVID restrictions during 2020-21 and 2021-22 the faculty adjusted the PE graduation requirement:

2022-2023 academic year: All PE requirements are waived for students graduating in 2022 summer, 2022 fall, 2023 winter, and 2023 spring.

2023-2024 academic year:  The number of required PE courses has been reduced to 1 PE courses for students graduating in these terms.

2024-2025 academic year: Students graduating in these terms are required to complete 2 PE courses.

Note these adjustments are contingent upon the student's graduation term, not class year. Contact Registrar@Dartmouth.edu with any questions
