Special Academic Requirements

To fulfill the upper-division writing requirement in athletic training, the student will submit a writing sample to the program writing committee. The writing sample can be a term paper or research study. It must be accompanied by a form (available in the program office) signed by the student and by the instructor of the course for which the material was written. The deadline for submission of the writing sample is February 1 for students graduating in May or August, and October 1 for students graduating in December. If the writing sample is judged satisfactory by the program writing committee, the requirement is fulfilled. If the writing is judged unsatisfactory, the student is advised to seek help in writing skills from the University Writing Center.

Athletic training professional courses may only be repeated one time.  Inability to achieve the grade of C or higher on the second attempt will result in the student being dismissed from the program.  A student receiving less than a grade of C in any practicum course will result in a student being subject to termination from the program.
