Physical Activity Courses

Earn Credit Doing Your Favorite Activities

OSU-Cascades offers a unique Physical Activity Course (PAC) program that partners with fitness facilities located in our community to bring you the best PAC experience possible! Have fun and earn credit doing your favorite activities like yoga, weightlifting, Cycle bar and Crossfit, or try something new like barre or rock climbing! See offerings below for details specific to each class. Open to all majors.

How to Register and Class Information

I found the facility below that I want to work out at. How do I register?
Register for the PAC 199 section of your choice each term using the appropriate CRN number. See current OSU-Cascades class schedule.

OK, I'm registered. How do I find out more about how to attend classes and get credit for the class?
The class will show up on your CANVAS course list with all the details, at the start of each term.

How does the class work if it doesn't have a day and time listed on the OSU-Cascades class schedule?
That's the best part! When you register, OSU-Cascades purchases a 20-class pass in your name. Go to the facility's class schedule link below and find the group fitness classes that work the best for you! You don't have to attend the same class at the same time every week. Just accumulate at least 20 visits over the course of the term. The facility will keep track of your attendance and will provide that to us at the end of the term. See your CANVAS information for grading details.
