Additional Admissions Information
Admission is competitive, with a preferred 3.0 minimum GPA required for consideration. For those meeting that minimum standard, every piece of the application is evaluated and crucial to determining if an applicant will be accepted into the program. Each year we have more applicants than we can accommodate. Some applicants may be offered a place on the waitlist pending available spots in the class.
A student with lower than a 3.0 cumulative undergraduate grade point average may apply to the program; however, the applicant may be requested to petition the department for acceptance into the program. The petition must include the following:
- An explanation for the lower GPA and/or grade; and
- A reflective learning plan, including a description of the steps the student will take to be successful in the program.
The department will review each petition and make a determination on an individual basis. The student will (may) also be interviewed by the Program Director (or his/her designee) by phone or in person. Special consideration will be given to:
- Personal or professional experience in OT-related areas;
- Grades in similar courses (such as other lab science courses for grades in A&P courses);
- Grades earned in the most recent 60 credits;
- The explanation provided for the lower GPA and/or grade; and/or
- The learning plan
