Strength of athletic training student's commitment as reflected in interview responses. [0-4 weight in selection formula = 25%] 2. Students receiving the highest scores in the rating process will be invited to enter the athletic training major. The selection committee is comprised of the AT Program faculty and Weber State University AT students and/or preceptors. Approximately twenty students can be chosen to enter the major each year, in compliance with accreditation guidelines concerning preceptor-to-student ratios. Selection into the AT Program is competitive and satisfaction of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. 3. Applicants not invited to enter the athletic training program may reapply the following year. All applicants who eventually re-apply must meet all requirements in effect at the time of application. Students are encouraged to contact the AT Program Director for current admission requirements. 4. All students selected for athletic training program must provide evidence of being able to meet the Technical Standards for Admission of the program. Only those students who verify that they can meet those technical standards, with or without reasonable accommodations, will be allowed to enter the program. Retention Requirements 1. After students are selected into the Athletic Training Major, retention in the program will be based on the following criteria: 1. Grade 'B-" or better in all athletic training major courses (includes clinical application courses). 2. Grade "C" or better in all the professional knowledge and support courses. 3. Students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.7. 4. Students must maintain a semester GPA of 3.0. 5. Adhere to Athletic Training Policies and Procedures. 6. Adhere to AT Program AT Student Handbook Policies. 2. Students who fail to meet the retention criteria will be placed on probation in the Athletic Training major for one semester. If standards are not met by the end of the probationary period, the student may be dismissed from the major at the discretion of the program director. Students who receive any grade below a "B-" in an athletic training major course, or below a "C" in any professional knowledge course, and/or support course must repeat that course and receive the minimum grade or higher to remain in the major. Failure to repeat the course (when offered) will result in dismissal from the program. Athletic Training Policies and Procedures are available in the athletic training student handbook. 3. Students who fail to earn a minimum grade of "B-" or higher in any clinical application or major required course will not be allowed to progress in the AT Program until they repeat the course and receive a grade of "B-" or higher. Students may only repeat a class once; failure to earn the minimum grade on the second attempt will result in dismissal from the program. 4. Athletic T raining M aj ors may NOT enroll in the on-line offerings of the athletic training courses (with the exception AT 3200). Students WILL NOT receive credit towards the major requirements for on-line AT courses (those which begin with notation 'AT"). If a student has taken any on-line AT courses, prior to or following secondary admission to the AT Program, the student must retake those courses in the traditional face-to-face classroom setting. The hands-on skills taught in these classes are vital to the education of athletic training students.
