NCAA ADHD Medications Reporting Policy
The NCAA bans classes of drugs because they can harm student-athletes and can create an unfair advantage in competition. Some legitimate medications contain NCAA banned substances, and student-athletes may need to use these medicines to support their academics and their general health. The NCAA has a procedure to review and approve legitimate use of medications that contain NCAA banned substances through a Medical Exceptions Procedure. The diagnosis of adult ADHD remains clinically based utilizing clinical interviews, symptom-rating scales, and subjective reporting from patients and others. The following guidelines will help institutions ensure adequate medical records are on file for student-athletes diagnosed with ADHD in order to request an exception in the event a student-athlete tests positive during NCAA Drug Testing.
If you are an incoming student who has a medical diagnosis for ADHD, it is important to report the current medications you are utilizing. The form for reporting medications must be completed by the incoming student-athlete as well as their physician prescribing the medication and the institution. The form for reporting medication use and the NCAA position statement on the use of these medications are below:
