Retention
and Program Progression Guidelines
Retention
All students enrolled in the athletic
training clinical courses must adhere to the program retention policies as
outlined in the Athletic Training Student Handbook. The following policies apply to all students
enrolled in any of the four athletic training clinical courses (PET 3670;
PET 3671; PET 4672; PET 4673):
- Lack of attendance, excessive tardiness, failure
to follow policies and procedures of the program, or the inability to function
safely in a clinical setting is cause for dismissal from the athletic training
clinical course(s) (see current policies and procedures outlined in the
Athletic Training Student Handbook)
- Students must meet the technical standards of the
program in order to remain enrolled in any of the four athletic training
clinical courses. Any student who
withdraws from an athletic training clinical course due to his/her inability
to meet the technical standards of the program is eligible to retake the
athletic training clinical course (and related non-clinical Major courses),
provided proper documentation is submitted to the Director of Athletic Training
Education during the semester of withdrawal.
Students who do not meet the technical standards of the program may
not take non-clinical Major courses without taking related clinical courses
in any given academic year without the written permission of the Director
of Athletic Training Education and the Chair of the Division of Health,
Leisure, & Exercise Science.
- Students who violate codes of moral/ethical conduct
will be dismissed from the Athletic Training Education Program (see current
policies and procedures outlined in the Athletic Training Student
Handbook and the Code of Ethics of the National Athletic Trainers’
Association).
Any student requesting readmission
to the Athletic Training Education Program (ATEP) must go through a formal
appeal process. Students are referred
to the appeal process outlined in the current Athletic Training Student
Handbook.
