Health Forms

Every student attending Rhodes College must submit the required medical information forms and provide proof of comparable health insurance (with coverage in the Memphis, TN, area) before being permitted to enroll in classes. Rhodes College offers a student health insurance plan to ensure that all students have access to comprehensive health insurance in Memphis while attending the college. Additional information is available at First Student – Rhodes College.

Students planning to participate in varsity athletics (baseball, basketball, cross country, field hockey, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming/diving, tennis, track, volleyball) require additional forms. Athletic forms should be submitted by July 15.  See below for more information. 

Rhodes College uses a Health Information System that shares relevant information between the Student Health Center and the Athletic Training Office to ensure quality medical care. Health Forms MUST be uploaded via Medicat Patient Portal. Submitting HEALTH forms by email, fax, or mail  is not allowed.

    2.    If you do take a banned substance, the proper paperwork may be found here.  Please download the forms and take them to your physician visit. Finished forms can be faxed to 901-257-0550 and will be submitted to NCAA for exemption.  Student-athletes are responsible for ensuring the paperwork is completed and returned to Rhodes Sports Medicine.

If the proper documentation for a medical exception is not on file and the student-athlete fails a drug test, the athletic training staff will not be able to appeal for a medical exception. The resulting penalty for the student-athlete may include a suspension of 365 days from the date of the positive drug test. If proper documentation is on file, we will be able to submit the medical exception to the NCAA without any penalties. If you have any questions regarding medical exceptions, please contact us at atr-forms@rhodes.edu.
