Option and UE Sport
Earn points on your grade point average.
Several components of the University of Montpellier offer you the possibility of integrating sport into your university curriculum. You'll need to check that the activity you choose is compatible with your timetable (location, day, schedule, level).
The sports option consists of 10 consecutive sessions over a semester.
What to do?
- Please contact my school for more information;
- Then validate my request by answering the questionnaire sent to my university e-mail address (by my school or SUAPS).
- At my first session, I indicated my Optionnaire status to the teacher so that he could give me my attendance card, which I then had to present to him at each session to have it validated.
The components define :
- the course(s) open to L'OPTION/UE /ELC SPORT;
- the number of points awarded on the overall average.
Regulations :
The sports offered for these options and UEs, and the timetables, can be downloaded from the SUAPS program. Options and UEs are identified by the names of the "evaluating" teachers.
Compulsory 10 sessions, with a maximum of one session per week. Depending on the activity, one session corresponds to a class of 1h30 to 2h00.
Three evaluation criteria :
- investment ;
- progress made ;
- the level reached.
Assessment is based on an Integral Continuous Assessment: three tests out of the 10 sessions, the last one being the second chance.
Note:
Before registering, I must check that the sport I wish to practice is evaluated, that the slot is compatible with my schedule and/or take into account my training weeks.
