Medical Clearance Information

ALL student-athletes receive an email via Teamworks during the first week of June detailing the medical clearance process. If you do NOT receive this email, please contact your head coach immediately for further direction. This contains vital information related to the documents and forms you will need to complete this process as well as a FAQ section. ALL printed forms must be uploaded directly into Teamworks AMS. Hard copies will NOT be accepted.

⚠ Submission Deadlines

New Student-Athletes: July 31

Returning Student-Athletes: July 15

All forms must be uploaded into Teamworks AMS by these dates. Late forms will impact your eligibility to participate in any team activity.

Medical Clearance Guidelines

1

NEW student-athletes (freshmen or transfers) — Physical Examination Required

Must obtain a physical examination using only the Biola-issued physical form linked above. All physicals must be performed on or after March 1st of the current calendar year. Physicals performed before this date will not be accepted. (If transferring in the spring semester, contact the medical clearance coordinator directly for an updated date.)

  • Exams must be performed by a licensed M.D., D.O., PA-C, or N.P. If completed by a PA-C, it must be co-signed by their overseeing physician (MD or DO). Ensure credentials are clearly visible via signature or office stamp. Exams completed by RNs or Chiropractors (D.C.) will not be accepted.
  • New student-athletes must also attend Biola University Athletics' annual physical event. This event does not serve as your personal physical examination — its purpose is to receive final clearance from our Team Physician.
2

NEW student-athletes — Sickle Cell Test Required

Must obtain sickle cell test results. Please reference the informational email or the link above for details on how to obtain and upload these results.

3

RETURNING student-athletes — Medical History Questionnaire

Returning student-athletes are not required to obtain a new physical or sickle cell test. However, you are required to submit a Medical History Questionnaire each year. This form will be reviewed by Biola Athletic Training staff and, if deemed necessary, you may be referred to our team physician for further examination.

4

ALL student-athletes — Teamworks AMS Forms

Required to complete all informational forms and documents via Teamworks AMS.

5

ALL student-athletes — Teamworks AMS Account

New student-athletes must create an account; returning student-athletes must update their existing account on Teamworks AMS.

6

ALL student-athletes — Medical Clearance Event

Required to attend the medical clearance event appropriate for their team. See the medical clearance information email for details. Final clearance for participation will not be given until this event. If, for any reason, you are not cleared, you will be notified at this event.

If you have any questions regarding this process please refer to the Medical Clearance FAQ. Should this not answer your specific question, please contact the Medical Clearance Coordinator directly.

Sincerely,

Kayla Yanke
