Curriculum Notes
- All KINE courses must be graded a C- (1.7) or better.
- BIOL 2200 and BIOL 2210 – Anatomy and Physiology I and II (if both were taken and C- or above was earned) can substitute KINE 1100 & 1101 and KINE 1200 & 1201 via petition. The Washington State Community College Common Course Number for those is BIOL 241 and BIOL 242. Again, both would need to be completed (with a C- or above): if only one BIOL Anatomy and Physiology course is completed, neither KINE course can be substituted.
- Pay attention to these sequences: KINE 1100 & 1101 must be taken before KINE 1200 & 1201 and before KINE 2200 & 2201. KINE 1300 must be taken before KINE 2100 and before KINE 3300. KINE 2300 & 2301 must be taken before KINE 3200 & 3201. There are some more sequences but these are the most important to keep in mind. Ask an advisor for info on when each course is offered.
