Course Exemptions and Credit by Examination

Students may petition for exemption of courses based on previous study or life experience. The Course Exemption or Credit for Life Experience policy and form can be found in the Institute catalog. Before an exemption can be granted, the OT Curriculum Committee will review all petitions to ensure that the content requirements of the appropriate doctoral standards have been met.

The Credit by Examination policy and form can be found in the Institute catalog.

Students may be exempted from or test out of a maximum of two courses or six credits. If an exemption is granted, students are responsible for enrolling in an equivalent credit-bearing course to meet the total credit requirements for the entry-level OTD degree.
