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.
