Students in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy must complete a total of 90 course credits, successfully complete all the courses in the curriculum, be in Satisfactory Standing, and have a CGPA of at least 2.3 out of 4.0 in the Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy curriculum to obtain the degree of B.Sc.(Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Occupational Therapy or the degree of B.Sc.(Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Physical Therapy.

Due to the sequential nature of the programs, the Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs are full-time programs of study. Further information on the curriculum is available at OT Curriculum or PT Curriculum.

The Evaluation System is multi-faceted and under constant review by the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy. The School reserves the right to change rules and regulations at any time, although in general such changes will not come into effect in the middle of an academic year or promotion period. For complete School regulations, refer to the Important Information for Students and Rules and Regulations documents at Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.

For the purposes of evaluation, the three-year curriculum is broken down into the following promotion periods:

• Promotion Period 1 – U1: beginning of September to end of August
• Promotion Period 2 – U2: beginning of September to end of August
• Promotion Period 3 – U3: beginning of September to end of April

Entry to professional practice requires the completion of a Master of Science, Applied, degree in Occupational Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.) or in Physical Therapy (M.Sc.A.PT.). Therefore, students who graduate from the B.Sc.(Rehab. Sc.) – Major in Occupational Therapy or the B.Sc.(Rehab. Sc.) – Major in Physical Therapy degree must continue to the M.Sc.A.OT. or to the M.Sc.A.PT. to obtain entry to professional practice.

Students who graduate from the B.Sc.(Rehab. Sc.) degree with the required CGPA of 3.0 or better may be considered for acceptance into the same discipline of the M.Sc.A. program that commences in the summer following graduation. For full details, refer to the Rules and Regulations documents at Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.

Entry to the Master’s Applied in Occupational Therapy requires students to have a minimum cGPA of 3.0. Even when the cGPA requirement is attained, the Occupational Therapy Promotions and Review Committee (OTPRC) may recommend that a student not be admitted to the Master’s program if, during the Bachelor’s program, (i) he/she has had 3 or more documented performance deficiencies (flags), with or without probationary status; or (ii) the student has not progressed sufficiently toward achievement of the required skills and attributes for entry to practice (see Essential Skills and Attributes)

Students from ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ or elsewhere who do not hold the undergraduate degree of Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Occupational Therapy or Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Physical Therapy must apply to the master's program via a graduate Qualifying year, or have the option to first apply to the undergraduate degree of Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Occupational Therapy or Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Physical Therapy and proceed to the Master of Science, Applied, degree in the same discipline.
