DUE PRIOR TO ARRIVAL TO CAMPUS (MEDICAL FORMS AND COMPLIANCE FORMS)

1. MEDICAL FORMS - NEW AND RETURNING

***STUDENT-ATHLETES SHOULD NOT ARRIVE TO CAMPUS WITHOUT MEDICAL FORMS BEING COMPLETED ONLINE

 Nichols College uses Point N' Click for all medical form's campus wide.

• EVERYONE should use the link here to access their health portal:  https://bisoncare.nichols.edu/
• You will log in using your Nichols OneLogin credentials
• Once you are logged in, you will click "View Forms and Requirements" 
• This will open a page with all the requirements needed.  Some are consent documents, others need to be filled out and signed by a doctor, and then uploaded back into the system
• New Student-Athletes will need:
  • A valid Physical within 6 months per the NCAA
  • A copy of Sickle Cell results
  • A Copy of your Health Insurance Card, front and back
  • Immunization Requirements
  • Complete the other documents in the PNC Portal
• You can access this through your computer or mobile device.  You must take CLEAR pictures of the completed documents to upload.
• Please note that some documents need to be acknowledged once uploaded, so you may not see the RED X turn into a GREEN CHECK right away.

 
PLEASE NOTE: Per the NCAA, EVERY student-athlete must complete a baseline concussion assessment before the start of every school year.  Nichols College partners with ImPact Applications for this.  This is an additional medical clearance requirement not associated with Point N' Click.  All student athletes will receive an email mid-July from ImPact with a link to complete on their own time, prior to arrival.
