Juniata Student-Athlete Annual Requirements

Hello Juniata Eagles! We are so excited to have you join us this year and welcome back to our returners! In preparation for the upcoming sport seasons, student-athletes must complete the following NCAA, Institutional and Sports Medicine compliance processes prior to your arrival on campus and participating in Juniata Athletics. Listed below is a checklist of the items along with the due dates of when you will need to complete the requirements. 

NCAA ID Requirement for First-Years

All first-year students are required to have an NCAA ID number beginning this fall. To do so, they must create a Profile Page account through the NCAA Eligibility Center. The first link below  includes a checklist outlining the required registration steps, along with information on other Eligibility Center account types. Click here for a PDF with more information about creating your NCAA ID. Important note: International first-year students must still complete the Athletics Certification process in order to receive an NCAA ID number.

Athletic Pre-Participation Physical & Athlete Portal 

Prior to participating on a team for Juniata, student-athletes must provide the Sports Medicine Department with their current address, emergency contact, insurance information, health history information and documentation of a current athlete-only physical. 

We use an electronic documentation system called ATS and the instructions on how to create a profile can be found on the Sports Medicine webpage (click here) titled “How to Create an ATS Profile.” Incoming student-athletes will need to create a profile. Returning student-athletes will need to login to their current ATS profile and confirm all information is accurate. 

Student-Athlete Only Health Forms can be found on the Sports Medicine webpage (click here). These forms must be printed and taken to your doctor for clearance. Completed forms must be uploaded to ATS under the eFiles tab. These forms are required for athletic participation.
