Please note: The program strongly recommends that a prospective student complete 16 hours of shadowing of an OT practitioner. Paid experience as a rehab or OT aide will also be accepted. Shadowing experience hours should be documented using the job shadow/volunteer experience form below.

If a student does not complete the 16 hours of shadowing, OTAT 1300 Occupational Therapy Principles will be accepted in lieu of this requirement provided the student completes the course and earns a grade of B or better.  OTAT 1300 Occupational Therapy Principles is a required program course, however prospective students have the option to take it up to two years prior to admission to the program. Students must receive a grade of B or higher to be accepted into the program regardless of when it is completed. If a student does not receive a grade of B or higher, OTAT 1300 may be repeated only once. A W counts as an attempt.
