application. A maximum of 16 students
per year are accepted, and all students must have minimum of 70% of the total
score on the evaluation instrument. ATTAINMENT

student offered a position in the program must formally accept that position in
writing.
If there are positions available, students that don't meet the admissions criteria, but who in the opinion of the faculty of the Department of Exercise, Sport and Health Education and/ or the ATEP Admissions Committee show great potential, may be admitted on a probationary term. This probationary term may not be longer than 1 year and following this probationary period students must meet current admissions criteria to continue in the program. Students who fail to meet the standards for admission after the provisional term will lose their admissions status. These students may reapply for admission, but must meet the admissions standards in place at the time. Readmission is not guaranteed.
