Step 4: IF APPLICABLE New prescription requirements for the NCAA

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) bans certain classes of drugs because they can harm student-athletes and could create an unfair advantage in competition. The NCAA will grant medical exceptions if adequate documentation showing the student-athlete has undergone a diagnostic evaluation for a type of drug. Exceptions may be granted for substances included in the following classes of banned drugs: anabolic agents, stimulants, beta blockers, diuretics, anti-estrogens, and peptide hormone. If you are on these medications, CLICK HERE for a letter to give to your doctor to obtain the proper documentation for your medication so that we may have it on file in the Athletic Training Room. The NCAA now requires us to have this information on file.
