Lifetime Health and Wellness
As of Fall 2024, all incoming students are required to complete WELL 150. Students should plan to complete WELL 150 before the end of their 5th term at Berea. Students admitted on previous catalogs must complete HLT 100 (prior to 2016-17), WELL 101 (2016-17 catalog). or WELL 101 and 102 (2017-18 catalog).
Berea College offers courses, programs, and facilities intended to promote the wellness and personal well-being of students and employees. This commitment is reflected in the adoption of the FRESH Start Quality Enhancement Plan. In addition to WELL 150, each student must complete two 1/4-credit activity courses chosen from the 200-level WELL activity courses (from two different areas). Waivers from the 1/4-credit activity courses are provided for students awarded a letter in an intercollegiate sport. Students who are awarded one letter in each of two different sports may waive both of the 1/4-credit requirements. If the student’s swimming skills are below the minimal safety/survival levels, students are required to complete WELL 200 and this may count as one of the two 1/4-credit activity courses. Under extenuating circumstances, a student may appeal to have WELL 200 waived. Any appeal must be submitted to the Academic Program Council and received no later mid-term. If WELL 200 is waived, the student is still required to complete two 1/4-credit activity courses from the 200-level HHP activity courses.
