INFORMATION NEEDED TO COMPLETE CLEARANCE**:

Clearance paperwork takes about 20 minutes to complete. Have your Student
ID number and health insurance information ready, including policy number
and take a picture of and scan your physical in order to upload it into
Home Campus (please make sure the physician signs, dates, and stamps it). *Read
all agreements and policies closely.*



Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: I've completed the Home Campus clearance but it still says pending

A: We just got access to the grades and will be checking physicals and
grades and clearing athletes as quickly as possible!


Q: My physical expires during the season

A: Please get a new one before Oct 30


Q: My physical expires during the season but my insurance won't let me get
a new one until it's been a year since the last one

A: We recommend going to a local clinic, click here
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Resources/athlete-registration/local-clinics>.
Some charge as little as $25. You can go to your family physician through
your insurance over the summer to reset the 1 year clock to a more
convenient time in the year. Here is a downloadable copy of our physical
form
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HIiN0ZRw-BqSc_4XMt6L9omqRSLpjwDf/view>.


Q: What happens if I'm not cleared by the first day?

A: You cannot practice/participate. Many teams have competitive tryouts and
this can impact your chances of making the team. Contact coaches
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports> ASAP
if you have extenuating circumstances


Q: I play a fall sport that still has practices and games during the week
of 10/30. What should I do?

A: Contact the coach
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports> of
the winter team you wish to play for to arrange a make-up tryout. It is not
safe (or fair) for you to do two rigorous practices in one day. You are
entitled to a make-up tryout but you must communicate with the coach ahead
of time.


Q: What should I do if I have an unavoidable scheduling conflict with a
tryout day(s)? (other than being a fall athlete)

A: Please contact coaches
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/winter-sports?authuser=0>
immediately
to discuss make-up options if you have scheduling conflicts.


Q: I don't remember seeing an email about my clearance status. How can I
check if I'm In Progress (aka incomplete), Pending (aka everything done and
waiting for ADs to check grades), Denied (aka something is wrong with my
physical), or Cleared?

A: Go to https://www.homecampus.com/login <https://www.homecampus.com/login>

1) Log in using the email and password you set

2) This will take you to the "My Student/Athlete Clearances" page.

Note: check your spam folder if you've never received an email from HOME
CAMPUS

Note: the steps described above will also help you identify if you have
duplicate registrations that can be deleted.


Q: I registered before I had my physical ready. I now have it. How do I
upload it?

Q: I want to play a spring sport
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/spring-sports>.
What should I do?

HOME CAMPUS. We will clear athletes for those sports after semester 1
grades post in January. Spring sports
<https://sites.google.com/berkeley.net/bhsathletics/Sports/spring-sports> begin
on February 6th


Q: How can I support BHS Athletics?

A: Amazing question! There are several ways:

1) Volunteer for team jobs - coaches

have preseason meetings and be soliciting help for tasks ranging from team
parent, drivers, snack coordinators, uniform coordinators, scoreboard
operators, etc.

2) Donate to the Berkeley Athletic Fund
<https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/> (BAF)! You will have an opportunity
to donate during the clearance process. BAF helps support coaching stipends
and funds capital projects, team travel, uniforms and equipment.

3) Come to a BAF meeting. BAF meets once a month. CONTACT BAF
<https://www.berkeleyathleticfund.net/contact-us/> for more info

4) Become a BAF Booster Club member!

cheer respectfully for both sides, model respect for the rules, officials,
and coaches, and help our student-athletes be the best they can be.
