Physical Education/Personal Fitness
(Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars award - 24-credit diploma only)
The one-credit physical education requirement may be satisfied in one of four ways:
- Completion of one-half credit in Personal Fitness and one-half credit in any Physical Education course.
OR
- Participation in an interscholastic sport at the junior varsity level for two full seasons shall satisfy the one-credit
requirement in physical education if the student passes a competency test on personal fitness (documentation retained at the
district level).
- 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.
- When the two non-credit courses have been recorded and the competency test has been passed, record
the non-credit course number 1500430 to indicate all three requirements have been met.

Please remember that all students who choose to satisfy their physical education requirements
by playing an interscholastic sport must complete additional credits in elective courses to meet the 24 credits
required by the state for graduation. |
OR
- Completion (no courses in progress), with a grade of "C" or better, of one semester in a marching band class or in a physical activity
class (that requires participation in marching band activities as an extracurricular activity) will satisfy one half of
the one-credit requirement in physical education. The one-half credit Personal Fitness course is still required.
- Record the non-credit course 1500440, Marching Band Physical Education Waiver, to indicate the student has
completed one half of the one-credit physical education requirement through marching band, AND
- Record:
- the course number for an official Band course I-VI completed by the student, or
- the course number for a Eurhythmics course I-IV (if an integral part of marching band), or
- the course number for a Jazz Ensemble I-IV (if an integral part of marching band).
OR
- Completion (no courses in progress), with a grade of "C" or better, of one semester in an ROTC class that includes a significant component
of drills will satisfy one half of the one-credit requirement in physical education. The one-half credit Personal Fitness
course is still required.
- Record the non-credit course 1500450, ROTC Physical Education Waiver, to indicate the student has completed
one half of the one-credit physical education requirement through an ROTC course.
- Record the course number for one of the following ROTC courses with drill identified in the course description:
Air Force: 1800300, 1800310, 1800320, 1800330, 1800340, 1800350, 1800400
Army: 1801300, 1801310, 1801320
Navy: 1802300, 1802310, 1802320, 1802330
Marine Corps: 1803300, 1803310, 1803320, 1803330
NOTE: Marching band students and ROTC students are not required to pass the personal fitness
competency test to exempt the one-half credit physical education requirement. The marching band and ROTC option may not be
used in combination with participation in an interscholastic sport for only one season in order to exempt 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 must be modified to meet the needs of those students.
