Full physical exams are available for clearance to participate in Sport Clubs or other sporting activities. Upon medical clearance, a signed authorization to participate in sports letter will be provided.
NOTE: Sport Physicals are only available at the SHC for a limited time at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters.
To request an appointment, you must complete and submit the NEW Member Medical Packet prior to scheduling a “Sport Physical (Club Sport)”.
- Log in to your MyWellness Portal and click the "Downloadable Forms" tab to complete and upload your New Member Medical Packet. You should already have created a DSE profile before completing this step.
- Once you have completed and uploaded the form to your MyWellness Portal (not DSE), your paperwork will be reviewed by SHC medical staff. Please allow 24-48 business hours for review.
- After your paperwork has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a message in your MyWellness Portal (Messages tab) with an appointment scheduling link and instructions for scheduling your club sport physical.
**Do not upload paperwork to DSE website until packet is completed by a medical provider.**

Local off-campus sites that perform pre-participation sports physicals
* Do not forget to bring your New Member Medical packet with you to your appointment! USD Sport Clubs will only accept physicals completed using the official USD forms. All other formats will not be accepted.
* Most insurance companies do NOT cover sport physicals, so this will more than likely be an out-of-pocket expense. Please plan accordingly.
