Sickle-Cell Trait Blood Test

All student athletes must have proof of a sickle-cell trait test. If you are unable to locate your results, you can have your primary care provider perform the test or you can schedule this test at the Student Health Center.

All students born in the United States after 1990 had this test done as part of their newborn blood screening.  Some of these tests may be referred to as “Newborn profile”, “Hemoglobin electrophoresis”, “Hemoglobin S solubility”  as well as “Sickle-Cell screening”.   To avoid repeating this test, you should attempt to locate the results.

Some suggestions for locating the results:

  • Medical Records at the hospital in which you were born
  • Pediatrician
  • Primary Care Provider
  • Parents or guardians

If you are UNABLE to locate your results, you will need to have this test repeated. It is a blood test, which can be done at your primary care provider’s office, or at the Student Health Center by appointment.

If you choose to have this completed at Student Health Center:

  • Bring your insurance card to the appointment or a copy of the card (front and back). 

  • Results can take up to 1 week, therefore please ensure you have this completed prior to the start date of your sport. Failure to complete the sickle-cell testing may delay your participation in the sport.

Note: If you are a new student, you will not have access to this portal until at least 48 hours after your acceptance fee has been paid and processed.
