Southern Wesleyan's Sickle Cell Policy

All student athletes must provide testing results of their sickle cell trait status.  This is an NCAA policy, and is required for all genders and races of student-athletes.  Sickle Cell Trait screening is normally performed at birth as part of a newborn screen, and can easily be obtained by contacting the hospital where the student-athlete was born.  If records can't be obtained through the hospital, student-athletes will have to get tested and provide the results BEFORE they are cleared for participation.
