To participate in an intercollegiate sport, all student-athletes are required to attend a preparticipation medical screening with the Ursinus College Sports Medicine Team. Screenings have been scheduled for yourself and your teammates once you arrive on campus. In preparation for your screening you are required to complete a series of documents prior to 7/30/2011. Below is a brief description of the documents you must complete. Be sure to read over each description, as well as the directions which follow, to ensure you complete all required documents.


Preparticipation Physical Evaluation - The student athlete is required to answer the survey questions with honesty and to their best ability in order to pass accurate information on to the UC medical staff.  Submitting a complete and correct medical history will greatly ease the pre-season screening process when these questions are reviewed with your certified athletic trainer.  You will not be allowed to receive your pre-season screening without completing this survey, and all athletes must pass this screening before beginning sport participation.

Insurance Information - The injured student-athlete is sometimes referred by the Ursinus College Sports Medicine Team to outside medical facilities.  In the event of referral to an outside facility your personal health insurance is used as primary payment, with Ursinus College providing a secondary insurance policy for official athletic injury cases.  To facilitate prompt care and effective communication with medical/insurance providers, you must complete the posted document providing information about your current personal health care plan.

  • Student-athletes and their families are required to access this document as needed to update insurance information each and every time a change in coverage/policy occurs.
  • Student-athletes are required to have their personal insurance card, or copy, on campus at all times.
  • The student-athlete will be required to bring this card/copy with them to their team’s Pre-Season Athletic Physicals.
  • The student-athlete should be prepared to produce this card as needed throughout the school year in order to facilitate referral for off-campus care.


Medical Consent - All students must complete and submit this document to be eligible to receive their pre-season screening.

Authorization for Release - Completion of this document authorizes Ursinus College Certified Athletic Trainers to release injury information.

Policy For Athletic Insurance - Please download and keep this form. It explains the policy of the Ursinus College Athletic Accident Insurance.

STUDENT-ATHLETES UNDER the age of 18, must use the links below to access the required documents for completion. Please note; only the "INSURANCE INFORMATION" document may be submitted on-line.
