Physical Education Waiver Form
Fall student athletes who are participating in the physical education waiver (more information on the waiver may be found on pages 5-6 of the 2012-13 Course Catalog) must print the P.E. Waiver form, complete the student portion and return the form to his or her head coach before the end of the fall season. Coaches will verify that the student fully participated in the sport and return the form to CJ's athletic office. The P.E. waiver will be granted when the student athlete has completed his or her second athletic season and turned in the corresponding paperwork.
It is important that the student athlete completes this paperwork for the fall season now, as it may be hard to verify the student's participation in the sport after the season concludes.
