Athletic Training

Athletic Training ACADEMIC YEAR 2018-2019 Dear Parents and Student-Athlete: We are extremely pleased to have your son or daughter return as a student-athlete at Appalachian State University (ASU) for the upcoming year. Included in this packet are the Health History Questionnaire and other paperwork required for your student-athlete to obtain medical clearance to participate in athletics at ASU. Please assist your student-athlete in filling out these forms to the best of his/her ability. In order to ensure a smooth process through the pre-participation physical exam process, please have this paperwork filled out prior to coming to campus. It is important for parents to retain this letter and all other documentation provided by the ASU Athletics Department throughout the year as it explains our policies regarding the health and safety of your student-athlete. Pre-Participate Exam: Each returning student-athlete is required to submit a Health Questionnaire yearly that is reviewed by our Medical Staff prior to participation in intercollegiate athletics at ASU. After reviewing the submitted documentation the Medical Staff will determine if further evaluation is needed. The final decision on physical qualifications or reason for rejection is the responsibility of the team physician. The decision on when a student-athlete may return to physical participation following an injury is also the team physician’s responsibility. Medical Insurance: Please fill out the Parent Information Form for the upcoming year and attach a copy of your insurance card. Your address and insurance information may have changed in the past year. We want to insure that your student-athlete’s medical records have the most updated information.

PLEASE FILL OUT AND SIGN THE FOLLOWING FORMS ONLINE, EMAIL TO [email protected] OR PRINT AND FILL OUT IN BLACK INK AND MAIL TO THE ADDRESS BELOW. Sincerely,

Jon Mitchell Appalachian State University
