Late Submissions
An incomplete registration could delay the clearance further, so please make sure you make it all the way to the Confirmation Message. An Athletic Clearance registration completed after the due date may delay and/or prohibit the athlete from trying out. A late submission can extend the length of time to review, depending on time allotted outside of responsibilities to the in-season sports and school breaks.
