Courses formerly designated as repeatable “activity” courses are now defined as non-repeatable “active participatory courses.” These courses have individual study or group assignments as the basic means by which learning objectives are obtained. Active participatory courses in physical education, visual arts, and performing arts that are related in content include groups of distinct courses with similar primary educational activities that have been separated into skill levels or variations and are separated with different student learning objectives or outcomes for each level or variation.

Students are limited to a maximum of four enrollments within each of these course groupings, also known as course families, regardless of the number of courses included in each family. This limitation applies retroactively to all prior enrollments in courses now included in a family; applies even if students receive substandard grades or withdrawals for one or more of the enrollments; and applies to re-enrollments due to extenuating circumstances.
