Juniata Student-Athlete Annual Requirements
Hello Juniata Eagles! We are so excited to have you join us this year and welcome back to our returners! In preparation for the upcoming sport seasons, student-athletes must complete the following NCAA, Institutional and Sports Medicine compliance processes prior to your arrival on campus and participating in Juniata Athletics. Listed below is a checklist of the items along with the due dates of when you will need to complete the requirements.
Athletic Pre-Participation Physical & Athlete Portal
Prior to participating on a team for Juniata, student-athletes must provide the Sports Medicine Department with their current address, emergency contact, insurance information, health history information and documentation of a current athlete-only physical.
We use an electronic documentation system called ATS and the instructions on how to create a profile can be found on the Sports Medicine webpage (click here) titled “How to Create an ATS Profile.” Incoming student-athletes will need to create a profile. Returning student-athletes will need to login to their current ATS profile and confirm all information is accurate.
Student-Athlete Only Health Forms can be found on the Sports Medicine webpage (click here). These forms must be printed and taken to your doctor for clearance. Completed forms must be uploaded to ATS under the eFiles tab. These forms are different from the entrance physical required by the College and are required for athletic participation.
