Technical Standards
After admission to the pre-professional phase, students must submit a technical standards certification statement indicating that they have read, understand, and can meet the technical standards for athletic training students, either with or without accommodation. These standards outline the essential functional tasks that students must be able to perform to enroll in and complete the program. Students requiring special accommodations are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Services.
Health Examinations and Certifications
Athletic training students are required to have evidence of completion of the three hepatitis B immunizations, a titer report indicating positive immunity, or a signed waiver. Students choosing not to complete hepatitis B immunizations will be required to sign a declination waiver. Some practicum sites require proof of tuberculosis screening in accordance with current U.S. Public Health Service recommendations. Students will be responsible for any costs associated with such screenings. All professional phase students must complete annual blood-borne pathogens and infectious disease exposure training offered in the practicum courses. All students must have Emergency Cardiac Care (CPR, AED) and First Aid certifications before entering their first practicum experience and must maintain these certifications through the remainder of the ATEP. For additional information about ATEP academic policies and procedures refer to the program handbook at http://rht.gmu.edu/atep/forms/
Background Check
Students will be required to undergo a criminal background check at the student’s expense, to enter the professional phase of the ATEP. Some practicum sites require an additional background check before engaging in patient treatment. If a criminal background check fails to meet the requirements of a student’s assigned practicum site, the student will be withdrawn from the practicum site and may be prohibited from completion of the curriculum. Students are encouraged to disclose any criminal background incidences to the ATEP Director and Clinical Education Coordinator prior to practicum placement.
Transportation Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of professional phase ATEP students to arrange transportation to and from their assigned practicum course sites. It is recommended that students have personal transportation. A limited number of sites are accessible via public transportation from the Fairfax campus. In the case that a practicum site is not accessible by public transportation and the student does not have a car, it is suggested the student take public transportation as far as possible and then take a taxi to the site. The student is responsible for all transportation fees including but not limited to gas, parking, bus, metro, taxi and zip car expenses. Students that have financial difficulty are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor to seek additional assistance.
Summer Courses
Students are required to engage in professional phase ATEP courses. Housing and travel arrangements are the responsibility of the student.
