Entry requirements

Academic Progression Requirements The student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required OT graduate courses with a minimum of a "C+" (77%) or better in all required OT courses. If a student earns less than a C+ in any course, the course must be repeated and earn a grade of “B” or better. If this course is a pre-requisite for another course, the student will not be allowed to continue enrollment. Only one course repeat in the program will be allowed. Therefore, a student who earns a grade below a C+ in more than one course will be dismissed from the OT program. Students may not have a cumulative GPA below 3.0 in the OT didactic courses for more than two semesters (this encompasses semesters one through four). If the cumulative GPA for required coursework is below 3.0 for a third semester, the student will be dismissed from the program. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required to enroll
