SPORTSCENTER TRAINING ROOM
A full time, certified Athletic Trainer is available for all varsity athletes and to care for injuries sustained in and out of season. The athletic trainer cannot provide services to non-varsity athletes unless accompanied by a prescription from a licensed medical doctor. We have available for use (only by Dr.'s prescription) therapeutic whirlpools, hydrocollator packs, ice modalities, and various rehabilitation equipment. Due to staff and time limitations as well as legal ramifications we are unable to provide physical therapy for non-varsity students. With prescription for treatment from a physician, we can provide the student with basic treatments for mild injuries or ones that they would otherwise miss due to classes, time schedules or lack of transportation.
HEALTH INSURANCE
ALL BELOIT COLLEGE STUDENTS:
1. Student Medical Expenses are the responsibility of the student and/or parents. Please check your insurance policy as to the student's coverage while on campus if illness or injury should occur.
2. HMO policies may not cover the student. PLEASE check with your policy regarding HMO restrictions. We have experienced many problems in getting the needed care for students, especially those out of the insurance service area, and due to lack of coverage by HMO's (i.e. doctors' appointments, physical therapy, etc.). If this is a problem you may want to consider additional coverage for the student while on campus.
3. Additional Coverage: The College offers all students an insurance policy through the Dean of Students Office. You should receive this information in mid summer directly from Student Assurance Services. If you do not receive this information, please contact the Dean of Students office at (608) 363-2660.
4. Changes In Information: Insurance, emergency or medical information changes that need updating should be made available to the Health Center . The Health Center may be reached at (608) 363-2331.

We are now required to annually provide you detailed information on the risks associated with Meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B, and the availability and effectiveness of the vaccines against the diseases. The college must also ensure that each student who resides in on-campus housing affirm that he or she has received this information. Also if they have been vaccinated against either disease, the date of the vaccination must be provided. Finally, we must maintain a confidential record of the affirmations and dates of the vaccines. If you are under the age of 18 this information must be provided to your parent or guardian. This information must be submitted along with your health form and on an annual basis while you are enrolled at the college.
Please read the enclosed information and sign the affirmation paper. Please return this form with your completed Beloit College Health form before your arrival on campus. Failure to return this information will result in a hold being placed on your registration. Thank you for your attention to this Wisconsin State Law.
