Academic Advising

Each student has the ultimate responsibility for effective planning and completion of all requirements for the athletic training degree. Each student is assigned an academic advisor who is a faculty member of the Athletic Training Program. The Registrar’s Office will designate you to one of the AT Program faculty. Students may request a different advisor by contacting the AT Program Director and obtaining a “Change of Advisor” form from the Office of the Registrar. Each semester, students are to schedule a time to meet with their designated AT Program advisor to discuss program and academic progression. Students may obtain the name of their academic advisor from the Office of the Registrar. Students who have pre-registered for their classes should immediately seek their AT Program advisor to ensure that the courses that they have been designated are in sync with the AT Program curriculum and pre-requisites for entry into the AT Program. ATS demonstrating difficulty in their courses will be referred to the Office of Student Success (OSS). If needed, the student may be required to obtain a tutor and participate in study hall sessions as deemed necessary by their faculty advisor. ATS experiencing academic difficulty are required to follow up with their faculty advisor consistently to discuss their academic progress. Meeting times may be necessary depending on the faculty advisors policies. It is ultimately the responsibility of the Athletic Training Student to ensure their academic enrichment. ● Athletic Training Program Course Requirements o See Addendum I ● Athletic Training Program Recommended Course Sequence o See Addendum I ● Athletic Training Program Course Descriptions o See Cumberland University Catalog
