The following is a list of athletic training forms that should be included when you mail in your forms or attend the preseason paperwork meeting. 

1. Pre-participation Medical and Injury History Questionnaire. If you have had an injury, please list which side (left or right) and the month and year in which the injury occurred in the correct space. If an item does not apply, please write "none". Do not leave blank spaces.

2. Informed Consent/Equipment Warning. Please read the entire document and sign and date at the end of each statement.

3. Notice of Privacy Practices. Please read the entire document and sign and return the last page. The rest of the document may be kept for your personal reference. Only the signature sheet needs to be returned acknowledging that you received and read the form.

4. Authorization Policy Form. Please read and review the entire document. Only sections 1 and 10 need to be completed by the student-athlete. The rest of the form is pre-checked for all required information.

5. Acknowledgement of Insurance Requirements/Emergency Contact & Insurance Form. Please see the attached cover letter for further explanation.

Please note: If a student-athlete is under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian signature is required on all forms.

In addition, the NCAA has instituted a stricter application of the medical exception policy for the use of banned stimulant medication for the treatment of ADD/ADHD.  This stricter application reflects a strong stand on policy enforcement, protecting the student-athlete competing while using these stimulants and the integrity of the sport.  If you have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and are using stimulant medication, you must provide proper documentation from your diagnosing health care provider in order to participate in NCAA athletics each academic year. The forms can be found on the Athletic Training website along with all other athletic training documents and should be printed and given to your diagnosing health care provider to fill out and return to the Athletic Training Department.
