HEALTH UPDATE/PRE-PARTICIPATION DOCUMENTATION

The following attachment contains all pertinent forms regarding health concerns while you are participating in athletics at Wellesley College. All forms must be signed and accurately completed to the best of your knowledge.

Beginning in the fall of 2007, the NCAA passed legislation mandating that all returning student-athletes

fill out a comprehensive updated medical questionnaire in addition to a screening of blood pressure and height/weight. All returning athletes will need to come to the athletic training room for this updated

pre-participation examination (PPE)/review prior to any participation (practices) in intercollegiate athletics. Failure

to comply with these regulations will result in the athlete being ruled ineligible and/or sanctions by the

NCAA.

Additionally, all athletes are required to show proof of medical insurance before participating in any physical activity.

Do not forget to enclose a photocopy of both sides of your current medical insurance card! Families are urged to check with their insurance carriers to be certain that athletically related injuries and injuries while away from home will be covered. If the policy will not cover a dependent while away, or will not cover medical expenses in full, the college encourages families to consider the option of the college insurance policy as a secondary coverage. For more information on the college’s medical insurance option, go to . Please be assured that all medical and insurance information received are confidential.

Once review is completed and passed, a list will be generated and given to your coaches saying you have been cleared for practices. This clearance includes having all of your materials turned in on time and any final clearance from the Health Center prior to competition.
