Dear Student-Athletes and Parents,
 
As we rapidly approach the upcoming athletics season, the Sports Medicine Department at Fairmont State University would like to inform everyone of the athletic medical information submission process for 2026-27. Fairmont State uses SportsWare OnLine (SWOL) to collect and store ALL REQUIRED MEDICAL INFORMATION.
 
All Student-Athletes are required to submit these forms, as mandated by the NCAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires all athletes to complete, update and sign the entire list of forms on SportsWare OnLine Website yearly. Athletes must complete all forms before being allowed to participate in any team activity.
 
Please visit the following link to complete all required athletic training paperwork: SportsWare OnLine

International Student Insurance Information:
As previously stated, Fairmont State University and the Fairmont State Athletics Department require that ALL STUDENT ATHLETES show proof of Primary Health Insurance that includes coverage for athletic injuries. In an effort to assist in this process, listed below are three insurance companies that meet those requirements. This is by no means an endorsement of any insurance company. It is simply a starting point for individuals that do not have Primary Health Insurance coverage and are looking for options in seeking coverage.
