Retention
Criteria
Because the athletic training is an allied health
profession, it is important that students are
well equipped with the necessary knowledge prior
to performing skills on athletes during the
clinical education portion of the program. Therefore,
for the safety of the student, and the patients
they are caring for, the following major retention
criteria are enforced.
Sophomore Retention: After freshman year, students must apply to be formally reviewed for retention in the athletic training major. Because there are specific accreditation standards regarding maximum enrollment, retention in the athletic training major is competitive, and will be based on students’ performance in the following areas:
- Minimum cumulative
GPA of 2.75
- Minimum GPA in major courses 3.00
- Completion of
the following courses with a grade of C-
or better: ESPE 140, ESPE 201, ESPE 100,
ESPE 115, and ESPE 142, BIOL 101 or 104
- Interview with
athletic training faculty/staff
Prior to enrolling in sophomore level athletic
training clinical coursework (ESPE 241,242)
students must have the following on file:
- Signed technical
standards (Appendix B)
- Proof of current
CPR for the professional rescuer (or equivalent),
and first aid certifications
- Proof of a current
health history, immunization review (including Hepatitis B vaccine), and physical examination
(performed by an MD, DP, NP, or PA) that
verifies a student is able to meet the physical
and psychological rigors of the program.
- Proof of annual
blood-borne pathogen training
Junior and
Senior Retention: Student performance
will be evaluated each semester, and retention
will be based on the following criteria:
- Minimum cumulative
GPA of 2.75
- Minimum GPA in major courses 3.00
- Completion of
athletic training core coursework with a
grade of C- or better
Prior to enrolling in junior and senior
level athletic training clinical coursework
(ESPE 341,342,441) students must have the
following updates on file:
- Proof of current
CPR for the professional rescuer (or equivalent),
and first aid certifications
- Proof of annual
blood-borne pathogen training
Probation: Students who do not meet minimum retention criteria will be placed on probation, and will have one year to rectify the deficiency. If deficiencies are not corrected within the one year period, the student will be dismissed from the athletic training major.
Transfer Students: Information regarding Adrian College’s transfer policies can be found in the Academic Catalog, under the Admissions section. Students wishing to transfer into the athletic training major will be held to the sophomore retention standards listed above. Transfer acceptance is contingent on space availability, and performance level in the stated criteria.
