Exercise Science Club

Many of our students in the exercise science program participate in our student organization which offers opportunities to network, participate in community service activities, attend educational events and connect with the regional and national chapters of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

Georgia State exercise science students have won the Southeastern ACSM Student Trivia Bowl title and have placed as high as third nationally.

Our students also have an above national average pass rate for the Certified Exercise Physiologist exam through ACSM.

Club Socials and Events

Throughout the year, SMAC will host socials for club members in various areas around the city of Atlanta. This is a chance for members to get to know who is the program, network, talk with alumni, and to have fun.

Past socials have included sites such as Hudson Grille and Gordon Biersch. Food is normally provided and games are a must! This gives a chance for students to put their knowledge of sports to the test with trivia or break out the old tacky holiday sweater for a chance at some awesome prizes.

Some of the Club Socials and Events that are regularly held are:

• Club Annual
• Spring and Fall Banquets
• New, Current, and Alumni Networking Socials
• Intramurals

Waitlist Dates:

Spring 2024

Q: Why join a course waitlist?

If you are having registration issues or are closed out of a class, you are not automatically placed on a waitlist. You must place your name on a waitlist for the course in which you would like to enroll. Add yourself to the waitlist by filling out the online form. You will be added to the waitlist if you have met ALL course prerequisites, have no scheduling conflicts and have not yet reached your maximum credit hours allowed.

Q: Why remove yourself from a waitlist?

If you do not want to wait for a course any longer, you MUST take action to remove yourself from it. Otherwise, you may be registered automatically if space becomes available! You can remove yourself from the waitlist by selecting ‘Drop’ from the online form.

Q. How do I know if I got into a class?

If space becomes available in a class and you are on the waitlist, you will be enrolled automatically. It is up to you to check your course schedule throughout the first week of classes to see new course assignments. If you are not selected from a waitlist, plan to take the course next semester.

Q. Why did I not get into a course I was on the waitlist for?

1. Not Selected To Enroll:  
   • Waitlist decisions are determined by class status, credits earned, GPA and other factors that determine students’ needs to take the course. Students that academically show the most need for the course is chosen. See your academic advisor for proper course planning.

   • If the course that you have joined the waitlist for conflicts with a course you are currently enrolled in, you will not be placed into the course and will be removed from the waitlist. DO NOT place “filler” courses on your schedule that time conflict with KH Courses that you need. See your academic advisor for proper course planning.
3. Max Hours:
   • Students are allowed to enroll between 12 – 15 credit hours. If your current schedule does not allow room for additional course adds, you will be removed from the waitlist. See your academic advisor for proper course planning. Additional credit hours can be added by visiting the Student Advisement Center.
4. Prerequisites:
   • You have not met the approved prerequisites for a course. Read through the course details to determine the GPA and previous course requirements before adding to a waitlist. See your academic advisor for assistance for proper course planning.  Check prerequisites, GPA requirements, and etc.
