Athletic Information and Forms

PRIVIT is the online program which collects and manages forms required of all student athletes. Forms, including a student's physical, are good for 12 months from the day the physical is signed and is valid for all Briarcrest teams during that 12 month time period. It is preferred you get a physical in the spring that is dated no earlier than April 15th. Click the link for PRIVIT Instructions.

Once the required information has been completed and e-signatures have been applied to the necessary forms, the signed document will become available automatically to the appropriate staff member for review and approval. The Completion Status bar on the student athlete’s Home screen will turn green and indicate Submission Complete after all the forms have been completed properly. If the status bar is orange and indicating Submission Incomplete, hover your cursor to see what still needs to be completed.
