The policy for "Transfer Credit Evaluation" in the University catalog states:

"An official evaluation of transfer credit will not be completed until students have been admitted to the University and have submitted official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions previously attended."

The OTA program admits two cohorts of students per year of 25 students each to the technical study portion—Summer admission and Fall admission.  The Summer admission cohort includes the full-time and part-time hybrid tracks with labs at the Ashtabula campus.  The Fall admission cohort is the traditional face-to-face, full-time or part-time with lectures and labs held on the East Liverpool campus.  If there are more qualified applicants than available student slots, applicants will be ranked on a point scale.  Points are assigned based on grade point average (GPA), writin

Professional Background Checks

Incoming students of the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program must acknowledge the mandatory federal and civilian background checks that are administered with acceptance into the program. Following notification of acceptance, but prior to the end of the first semester, students must submit documentation of these background checks. This process must be repeated during the second year for Ohio licensure.

What are the essential functions?

Essential functions describe required skills and abilities for completion of the Occupational Therapy Assistant program and to work as a generalist occupational therapy assistant. This list is a summary of essential functions students are required to meet throughout program coursework and fieldwork experiences.
