Forms Review Process

Your Wittenberg University Sports Medicine Department Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) and Wittenberg University Athletic Team Physicians will review your First Year Student-Athlete Health Information Packet, SportsWare Medical Profile, Baseline ImPACT test and (if Necessary) additional documentation for injuries/illnesses in as timely manner as possible. You may be contacted if additional information is needed in anticipation of medically clearing you for participation.

Obtaining your Clearance for Participation

You will receive your clearance for participation during an arranged on-campus meeting setup by your Wittenberg University Sports Medicine Department Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). Your coach will notify of this time and date.

The Wittenberg Sports Medicine office WILL NOT provide you with a physical exam from a physician. You must complete a physical exam BEFORE coming to campus.

Congratulations on becoming a Wittenberg University Tiger!
