Returning Student-Athlete Information
We are pleased to welcome you back to the Willliam and Mary family for another year of exciting Tribe Athletics.  There are a few important items that must be completed and returned no later than June 15th, so that we can update your personal, confidential file with the Division of Sports Medicine and with the Student Health Center.  These items are crucial in medically clearing you for participation in intercollegiate athletics at W&M and establishing your eligibility for coverage under our secondary insurance policy.  Incomplete forms will be returned to you which will delay the process. This process must be complete before you will be allowed to participate.

By June 15, you MUST do the following:

Step 1:  Health Insurance Information
  • Please download, print, and complete the following forms:

    These forms should be completed and returned by June 15:

    Step 2: Student Health Center Insurance Information  

    This forms needs to be completed EVERY YEAR!

    IF YOU HAVE EXISTING HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE for your child and DO NOT wish to purchase the student health insurance coverage offered through the Student Health Center at The College of William and Mary, you need to visit http://www.wm.edu/health/insurance to submit a waiver request. YOU MUST SUBMIT THIS ONLINE! The link for the waiver request form is under waiver information on the left side of the screen. If you do not submit this request by July 1st, you will be automatically enrolled in and billed for coverage under the student insurance administered by United Health Care. Denying the student health insurance DOES NOT affect the ability to be seen at the Student Health Center or the Athletic Department’s secondary insurance coverage.

    IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INSURANCE COVERAGE    , you may obtain coverage at www.esurance.com/home/health.asp  If you are uninsured when you enroll in the College of William and Mary, you will be automatically enrolled in and billed for coverage under the student insurance administered by United Health Care. Please note that this basic plan does NOT cover costs associated with athletic injuries.

    Step 3: 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.
