(OCTA). Questions regarding out-of-state candidates
should be directed to the OT office.
Applications will be reviewed by the Occupational
Therapy Admissions Committee.
The department head will notify each applicant regarding
admission status.
Students accepted into the OCTA program are required
to fulfill the immunization requirements of the ULM Student
Health Center. Once accepted into the second segment of
the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program, the student
has one academic year to successfully complete the didactic
coursework of the program. A student who fails to do so will be
required to appear before the University of Louisiana at Monroe
Occupational Therapy Academic Performance Committee for a
hearing to determine continuation in the program.
To progress in the Occupational Therapy Assistant
Program, a student must complete all required didactic
occupational therapy courses with a grade of “C” or better
in one academic year. A cumulative 2.500 on a 4.00 scale
is required for continued enrollment. The student must
observe all prerequisites in the sequential pursuance of
courses leading to an Associate of Science Degree as an
Occupational Therapy Assistant. All OCTA professional
courses must be taken at ULM. Students who fail to
successfully meet all OCTA requirements (due to not meeting
competency or based on grade) will be dismissed from
the program. Students may request to appear before the
Academic Performance Committee to determine continuation
in the program. Before going on Level II Fieldwork clinical
affiliations, students must have a minimum cumulative grade
point average of at least 2.500 (uncorrected). The Academic
Performance Committee has the right and responsibility to
impose sanctions on a student who is not in compliance with
ethical, professional behavior, or patient welfare guidelines
of the program after following due process guidelines of the
program. Sanctions can include dismissal from a course with
a grade of “F” and may result in permanent dismissal from the
program. The Occupational Therapy Academic Performance
committee will determine the re-application status of any
student who does not successfully complete the program.
Students will receive a grade of either “CR” or “F” on Level II
Fieldwork experiences.
A student who does not receive a grade of “CR” on
any Level II Fieldwork placement shall be dismissed from
the program. A dismissal may be appealed before the
Occupational Therapy Academic Performance Committee to
determine if repeated or additional coursework could justify
readmission. All cases before the O.T. Academic Performance
Committee will be reviewed on an individual basis. Students
must complete all Level II Fieldwork requirements within 18
months following the completion of occupational therapy
content courses.
