Berkeley High Physical Education Credit

Five units of PE credit is awarded to those student athletes who successfully complete a season of sports as verified by the program’s head coach and Athletic Department. A student must remain eligible for the entire season and be a committed participant throughout the season in order to earn the PE credit.

Athletic Clearance

Students must complete the online registration process and be cleared BEFORE they may try out.  The process requires a physical exam form. The physical must have been done within a calendar year of the end of the season sport and may be used as long as it is valid for other sport seasons. Plan on spending approx. 20 minutes to complete the process. It will be helpful to have the following information handy to allow for accurate completion of your online registration (including your child's Student ID number and Health Insurance information. When you complete the process you will receive an automated email confirming your registration.  However, your athlete will not be cleared for tryouts until the Athletic Director has confirmed grade eligibility. This can take a week or more, so don’t wait until the last minute.
