Physical Education Requirement
(Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars award - 24-credit diploma only)
The one-credit physical education requirement may be satisfied in one of three ways:
- Completion of one-half credit in Personal Fitness (PE) and one-half credit in any Physical Education
elective course (PE elective – PL).
- Completion of HOPE Core course (3026010) – beginning with 2011 high school graduates.
- Completion of HOPE Physical Education Variation course (1506320) – beginning with 2011 high school graduates.
The following physical education waiver options are available:
Interscholastic Sports: Participation in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity level for two full
seasons shall waive the one-credit requirement in physical education if the student passes a competency test on
personal fitness (documentation retained at the district level). For PE/PL and HOPE options.
- Record the non-credit course number 1500410 to indicate the student has completed
one semester of interscholastic sports.
- Record the non-credit course number 1500420 to indicate the student has completed a second
semester of interscholastic sports.

non-credit course number 1500430 to indicate all three requirements have been met. On the transcript,
enter "PE" in the subject field, 0 credit, and no grade.

by playing an interscholastic sport must complete additional credits in elective courses to
meet the 24 credits required by the state for graduation.

one semester in a marching band class or in a physical activity class that requires participation in marching

NOTE: Marching band, dance, and ROTC students are not required to pass the
personal fitness competency test to waive the one-half credit physical education
requirement. The marching band, dance and ROTC options may not be used in combination with
participation in an interscholastic sport for only one season in order to waive the full-credit
physical education requirement.
Nonparticipation due to a Health Condition
There is no waiver for students who cannot participate in physical activity due to a health
condition. Because physical education is required for high school graduation, the Department
of Education requires that the activities of a physical education/personal fitness course be
modified to meet the needs of those students.
