Student Conduct

Athletic Training Students (ATSs) are expected to adhere to the Student Conduct Code in the current Cumberland University Student Handbook. The conduct code addresses areas of academic and non-academic misconduct and disciplinary procedures. In addition to the University expected conduct, the AT Program expects the following: ● It is expected that each athletic training student is familiar with this handbook and the policies and procedures that it includes. Failure to be familiar with these guidelines will not be an excuse for inappropriate decisions or behaviors. ● Do not socialize in the athletic training room. Use your clinical experience time for education. ● The Athletic Training facilities are considered healthcare facilities and therefore their cleanliness is very important. Both staff and students are expected to maintain a sanitary environment at all times. ● Treat all athletes the same. There is no difference between the star athlete and the fourth string athlete. ● ATSs who are in a “relationship” with a Cumberland University athlete are to maintain professional behavior at all times. Personal relationships should NEVER be brought into the clinical experience. ● Any athletic-related problems should be discussed with a Certified Athletic Trainer. ● Do not attempt to perform any skills that are beyond the scope of your abilities or education. ● While in the Athletic Training Center, athletic training students shall NOT use tobacco products.
