Co-Curricular Units

All MTU students must have 3 co-curricular units (6 one-half units) of select courses to graduate.

Physical Education classes have proven to be a great stress release from academc life. They provide fun and develop social skills while enhancing personal fitness. The department offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities that will help students develop their own program of fitness while earning their co-curricular units.

No co-curricular course may be counted more than once toward the three units required for graduation.

There are also co-curricular courses in the Varsity Classes section which the varsity athletes take to fulfill requirements.

Most physical education classes are seven weeks long (part of term A and part of term B for each semester). The start and end dates for each part of term are listed in the Scheduling Booklet. Students are expected to know which part of term their PE classes are scheduled. Students should come to the first day of classes dressed in appropriate clothing for class and ready to participate.

The classes listed below are each worth .5 units unless otherwise noted.

*See Coaching Endorsement section for explanation of asterisked courses.
