Medications Athletes who are prescribed inhalers must bring a second inhaler to be kept in the possession of the athletic training staff. The inhaler must be clearly labeled with the athlete’s name and prescription. Student-athletes who have epi-pens prescribed to them in the event of an allergic reaction must bring a second epi-pen to be kept in the possession of the athletic training staff. The epi-pen must be clearly labeled with the athlete’s name and prescription.
Athletic Training Screening This screening is performed to first year participants in athletics at CCSU. The procedure includes posture evaluation, flexibility evaluation, previous injuries screening, height, weight, and body composition. Each season thereafter, the athletic training facility screening will consist of height, weight, body composition, and a screening of significant injuries sustained from the previous season.
Pre-existing Injuries The athletic training staff screens all first year participants for previous injuries by performing a complete orthopedic evaluation. The orthopedic evaluation is also performed on veteran athletes who sustained a significant injury during the regular season or out of season. The university physician and/or team physician or their designee is the FINAL AUTHORITY concerning when the student-athlete return to partial or full participation.

Medical records are maintained during the athlete’s collegiate career and for 7 years thereafter.
