Sickle Cell Trait Test Mandate: The NCAA mandates all Division I and Division II student-athletes be tested for Sickle Cell Trait. If you are a returning student-athlete the athletic training staff will have this on file. As a NEW incoming student-athlete you will need to have this test done or the results of those test could be obtained from the hospital you were born in. |

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: If you have been diagnosed with ADHD and are currently taking medication the NCAA requires you to have your attending physician fill out the attached document. The document then needs to be sent to the athletic training staff at Bemidji State University so they can keep it in your file. This document is needed in case you are selected for random drug testing while participating in intercollegiate sports. |
