Policy

Transportation to Clinical Assignment

Students are expected to provide their own transportation to their clinical experiences assignments that are not on-campus. Therefore, students must have reliable vehicle transport and must arrange prior to their rotations to get to their site in a timely manner. Off-campus clinical experiences may occur during any of the clinical experiences assigned during the matriculation through the AT Program. These assignments are necessary for the variability of athletic venues an athletic training professional will encounter during their career. Whenever possible, car-pooling is strongly encouraged and recommended among students. Directions to these clinical sites will be given to each ATS prior to their assignment. ATS may choose to travel with high school teams going to away events, however, this is done voluntarily and not mandated by the AT Program. Students are still responsible for obtaining their clinical hours and therefore, must make alternate arrangements with the Clinical Education Coordinator if they cannot obtain sufficient hours at their off-site rotation due to extensive travel among the high school teams that the student is assigned.
