 The Required Physical Education Program consists of the Basic Program, the Ad-
vanced Sports Program, and the Elective Sports Program. The University requires each
student to register for this program until he receives his degree or has been in attendance
eight semesters.
 The Basic Program is designed primarily to raise the level of fitness of the student
to that desired by the Department of Required Physical Education. Instruction and
participation are offered in Boxing, Gymnastics and Tumbling, Swimming, Track and
Field Activities, Rugged Games, and Functional Health Instruction. The program also
serves to introduce the student to the activities of the intramural and recreational sports
program. Functional Health Instruction is included in this program to assist the student
in adjusting to his life at the University of Florida.
 The Advanced Sports Program is designed to offer the student an opportunity to
learn skills so he can engage with satisfaction and enjoyment in three of the following
sports: Golf, Handball, Swimming, Tennis, Gymnastics and Tumbling, Basketball and
Volleyball, and Tag Football and Softball. Sports proficiency tests are used to measure
the student's accomplishments. Instruction and participation are offered in the skills of
the sports. The sport to be participated in is selected at the first meeting of the class.
 The Elective Sports Program is designed to give the student an opportunity for par-
ticipation in a sport of his own choosing. While assigned to this program, the student
must participate in one additional sport from among those not utilized in meeting the
requirements of the Advanced Sports Program or elect advanced instruction in a sport
already passed. Participants in varsity or freshman sports may substitute that activity for
the requirement of the Elective Sports Program.
 The passing of a Physical Fitness Test is required at the end of each semester while
attending class. A student who fails the test obtains further assignment in the program
through a personal conference in the departmental office.
 Attendance at class is required until the student completes the requirements of the
Basic Program and the Advanced Sports Program, and in the Elective Sports Program
if the student elects to attend class to pass his fourth sport. If his level of physical fitness
falls below the desired standard while he is registered in the Elective Sports Program, he
must attend class regularly.
 At the time of his graduation the student must have passed proficiency tests in four
sports and must be able to pass the Physical Fitness Test.
 Students assigned to the Adapted Program by the Department of Student Health
because of physical defects or deficiencies shall engage in a program recommended by
that department. This program is administered by the Adapted section of the Depart-
ment of Required Physical Education.
