Residency Requirements

All Ph.D. (Kinesiology) students are required to register for Residency during their first full academic year of entering the program (Fall and Spring semesters).

During this residency period, a student must be registered as a full-time student (i.e. 9 hours of academic classes per semester) for both the Fall and Spring semesters of their residency period.

During the Fall semester, each student in residency shall register and successfully complete the designated departmental residency class, Principles of Scientific Inquiry.

During their residency period students will be introduced to “professional activities” including research experiences, journal club, seminar attendance, attendance at thesis/dissertation defenses and other experiences that are applicable to continual professional development.
