Health Insurance Requirement

All SU students must be covered by health insurance. If you do not have health insurance, it can be purchased through Shenandoah’s Wilkins Wellness Center. Learn more about how you can enroll in Student Health Insurance Plan.

Transportation 

Students are expected to provide their own means of transportation to and from all clinical sites and associated program class requirements. This may include gas mileage and vehicle maintenance costs. Students are responsible for all food, housing, and travel costs associated with the clinical site. Shenandoah University Division of Athletic Training is not responsible for, and will not be able to determine, rental and other associated living costs involved with clinical education at distance sites. Such costs incurred by the students will be determined by current market conditions in the town/city and/or country of which the clinical site is located. Students are encouraged to research market conditions of distant clinical sites to determine what additional cost may be involved during those clinical experiences. This will allow students to make informed decisions on costs associated with clinical field experiences.

COVID-19 Admissions Requirement Accommodations

Pass/fail grades for courses taken in 2020 and Spring 2021 will be accepted if your university does not provide grades. Virtual lab experiences taken during 2020 and Spring 2021 will satisfy lab prerequisite requirements.
