This process takes several steps. The steps below are the actions, forms and/or questionnaires that must be finalized before the student-athlete is medically cleared and allowed to participate in practice and/or events.

****NEW ITEMS FOR 2008 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY****
This year listed with all forms (at the end of each sections) is a link to an interactive form "(emailable form)". This form can be typed in and printed and/or typed in and email to the Sports Medicine Department If you chose to email he informatin just remember that some of the information that is contained on these forms is personal medical information. With that in mind, we (the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and its entities) cannot guarantee the security of that document over an open internet. If emailing is the best option for you, then we would suggest that you provide all the information except for the SSN# or any sensitive personal medical history. This information can be provided upon coming to campus. The other drawback to this option is official signatures, all signatures, including the parent/guardian for those under 18, MUST be completed to be able to participate. The forms can be signed upon showing up to the University.
