Guidelines & Policies
When a student-athlete decides to participate in intercollegiate athletics at Wellesley College, there are several steps to complete to be considered “medically cleared” for participation. Once medically cleared, student-athletes should keep the athletic training staff updated at all times with regard to injury status, medication changes/additions, insurance changes, etc. This will be completed prior to the first competition.
