Jans should register for a QSR designated course for the spring semester of their freshman year or the fall semester of their sophomore year.
• Writing-Intensive – The writing-intensive graduation requirement consists of 3 writing-intensive courses, each taken in a different semester. One needs to be outside of the student’s concentration. Showcasing the Nation will count as one writing-intensive course.
• Physical Education – All enrolled students are required to participate in a physical education program for individual development.  This is a five-part graduation requirement that includes, a physical fitness test (a course is offered for those who do not pass); two lifetime activity classes; and one unit of the following: intercollegiate varsity athletics, wellness seminar, or lifetime activity class. No Arcadia courses count towards the PE requirement. Upon return to Hamilton, Jans will have until fall break of their junior year to complete the PE requirement.
