Students who successfully participate in school-sponsored athletics may qualify for a Physical Education (PE) Sports Exemption under California Education Code. This exemption allows students to earn credit toward their second year of PE based on completion of one or more seasons in a California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) sport—one season equals five PE credits, and two seasons equal ten PE credits (one full year). All students must still complete PE 9 in ninth grade. To apply, students must fill out the PE Course Exemption for CIF Athletics Application. Then, students must complete the season of sport, and fill out the SCUSD Sports PE Exemption : Season Completion Form which asks them to obtain verification and signatures from their Athletic Director, counselor, and principal (or designee) by the posted deadline. Approved exemptions will appear on the student’s transcript but do not reduce the total credits required for graduation.
