CMS Department of Physical Education and Recreation
The Colleges requires all students to complete three semesters of physical education. Participation on a CMS intercollegiate athletic team will also count towards fulfilling the physical education requirement. All students are expected to complete this requirement during their freshman and sophomore years, except for those excused by the Chair of the Department of Physical Education for medical reasons or because of prior military service.
Registration procedures and deadlines for physical education
courses or teams are identical to those of credit courses. Courses
offered through other Claremont Colleges may also be elected.
