department of athletics policies & procedures - UNC Wilmington ...

1. The S-A will come into the ATR so that the staff can take a temperature, see if
they have any other flu-like symptoms or any other underlying health issues
(asthma, allergies, diabetes, etc.). Any temp over 100 is considered contagious
and the S-A is not being allowed to participate in athletic activities or class.
2. The athletic training staff will get the s-a name, 850#, place of residence and
whether they are on a meal plan.
3. This information will be emailed to the Director of the SHC, the Medical Director
for the SHC, the Assistant Athletic Director for Academics, Deputy Director of
Athletics, the Director of Athletic Training, the S-A coach and to the S-A. The
SHC will then print this email out and put it in the S-A chart on file at SHC.
4. If the S-A has other underlying health concerns, such as diabetes, asthma,
allergies, the SHC wants this person to be seen so that they can be started on
meds.
5. The S-A will then be told to email their professors and notify them that they will
not be attending classes due to flu-like illness.
6. If they are living on campus and have a meal plan they are to contact their
Resident Coordinator to help with meal delivery through Aramark.
7. The S-A will be given a thermometer to take with them so that they can take their
temperature every 12 hours. The S-A will not be allowed to return to normal
activities until they are fever-free without medications for 24 hours. At that time
they are to come back to see one of the staff athletic trainers and have their temp
taken and make sure they are fever-free.
8. Once the S-A is considered non-contagious, an email is once again sent to
Director of the SHC, the Medical Director for the SHC, the Assistant Athletic
Director for Academics, Deputy Director of Athletics, the Director of Athletic
Training, the S-A coach and to the S-A.
9. Once the S-A is cleared to return to athletics, they will be on limited activity for
their team for the first several days back. They will not have full energy or
strength and should be allowed to progress to full status. The athletic trainer for
the team will monitor the S-A during this time.
