Pre-Approved Course Grids by BC Post-Secondary Institution (PSI)
Note: academic grids are not available for applicants educated outside of British Columbia (BC). Please refer to the Core Academic Subject Descriptions if you completed your education or coursework outside of BC and use that information to complete your self-assessment.
Important: The Pre-Approved Course Grids are intended as a planning and application resource. Final academic assessments are conducted during the Professional Membership application process and are based on official transcripts, course descriptions, and any additional documentation required by BCAK.
These grids identify how courses and subject areas offered by BC post-secondary institutions (PSIs) align with BCAK's academic requirements for membership. The grids are based on current course syllabi and consultation with kinesiology department representatives at the respective institutions as of the publication date of each grid.
The Pre-Approved Course grids are intended to help BC-educated kinesiology students and new applicants in:
- Planning their undergraduate course selections; and
- Completing the mandatory Academic Self-Assessment Form
Note: Courses completed as part of a 2-year Associate Degree (Diploma) program will only be considered as part of the required 4-year Undergraduate degree program in Clinical Kinesiology) - applicants with a 2-year program must complete the other 2 years prior to application.
Course Outlines/Syllabi
If your PSI has added, renamed, renumbered, or discontinued courses that are listed on these grid sheets, please provide the current course outline or syllabus for BCAK review.
For most courses listed on these BC academic assessment grid sheets, course outlines or syllabi are not required, as BCAK already has these documents on file. However, you must provide course outlines or syllabi when:
- The grid indicates that a course outline or syllabus is required, such as for practicum placements, fieldwork, seminar topic courses and directed studies courses;
- You are using courses that are not listed on a Pre-Approved Course Grid;
- The course has been substantially revised since the grid was published (e.g. you graduated more than 5 years ago).
If you are applying with transfer-credit courses, you must provide official course transcripts from the originating post-secondary institution. BCAK will assess the course content to determine whether it meets the learning outcomes for the applicable academic subject requirements. Please note that courses accepted as transfer credit by a post-secondary institution are not automatically accepted by BCAK.
Applicants who have completed clinical kinesiology coursework outside of BC (in whole (the degree program) or in part (some but not all courses)) must submit course outlines, syllabi and relevant documents for a comprehensive review. Submission of syllabi is not required for English, business, or other courses unrelated to the clinical kinesiology curriculum.
