The Wellness Passport program allows students to earn credit toward the physical education requirement by attending a variety of qualifying health and wellness-related classes, workshops, and events.
Program Overview
Students will have the opportunity to attend a wide variety of classes, workshops and events that encompass the eight dimensions of wellness. To earn a physical education credit, students must:
- Register Online for the Wellness Passport.
- Accumulate 10-hours of participation over the course of one semester
- Attend any combination of qualifying classes, workshops and trainings. Only those events on the Wellness Passport Events calendar (below) qualify.
- Promptly and properly document their attendance at these events. If attendance is not properly documented, the student may not receive credit/hours toward a PHED credit.
Documenting Participation
Approved classes will feature logins where students must record their attendance. If you are unsure how to document your attendance, ask the class instructor for assistance.
