Athletic Training Education Program

ATEP Expenses and Special Requirements

Fees and expenses specific to the ATEP are as follows: Pre-professional phase students enrolling in ATEP 229 will be assessed a laboratory fee $110.00. Professional phase students will be assessed a laboratory fee of $100.00 for each clinical education course. In addition, clinical experiences may require students to travel to off-campus sites. Students will be responsible for all costs relating to travel to clinical sites.

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 in order to enroll in and complete the program. Students requiring special accommodations are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Services.

Athletic training students are required to obtain a health exam and immunizations before entering the Professional phase of the program. Students must evidence of completion of the three hepatitis B immunizations and provide proof of tuberculosis screening in accordance with current U.S. Public Health Service recommendations. Students choosing not to complete hepatitis B immunizations will be required to sign a declination waiver. All Professional Phase students must complete annual blood borne pathogens training and may be required to submit to a criminal background check. All students must have Emergency Cardiac Care (CPR, AED) certifications before entering their first clinical experience and maintain these certifications through the remainder of the ATEP. Examples of courses that provide the above certifications are: Professional Rescuer + AED by the American Red Cross or Basic Life Support for the Healthcare Provider CPR + AED by the American Heart Association. Other providers are those adhering to the standards of the International Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care.
