Student Evaluation and Promotion in Physical and Occupational Therapy
Degree Requirements for the Master of Science (Applied) – Occupational Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.), and the Master of Science (Applied) – Physical Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.)
Degree Requirements for the Master of Science (Applied) – Occupational Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.), and the Master of Science (Applied) – Physical Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.)
Student Evaluation and Promotion M.Sc.A.OT. & M.Sc.A.PT.
Academic matters are the jurisdiction of the Occupational Therapy Promotion and Review Committee (OTPRC) or the Physical Therapy Promotion and Review Committee (PTPRC). The OTPRC and the PTPRC review the academic record, professional conduct, and general performance of students throughout the Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs. It exercises final authority to determine a student's competence and suitability for the practice of occupational therapy or physical therapy and, hence, makes final decisions on all matters relating to promotion and graduation.
Program information and documents are updated annually and are available from various ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ and the School’s website at occupational therapy Master of Science (Applied) in Occupational Therapy (M.Sc.A.OT.)| School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ or physical therapy Master of Science (Applied) in Physical Therapy (M.Sc.A.PT.) | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ.

Students in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy must successfully complete a total of 30 credits in the Qualifying Year (QY) in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy, or have obtained the B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) - Major Occupational Therapy or B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) - Major Physical Therapy followed by 63 credits in the corresponding M.Sc.A. degree. They must successfully complete all courses in the respective M.Sc.A. curricula, and be in satisfactory standing to obtain the degree of M.Sc.A.OT. or M.Sc.A.PT.
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 Curriculum | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ or PT Curriculum. Curriculum | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ. Exceptions may be possible provided that students have obtained written permission from the Promotions and Review Committee to register part-time.
Students enrolled full-time in the Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) in Occupational Therapy or Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) in Physical Therapy program must complete all degree requirements within 3 years of the date of initial registration in this program. In the situation of part-time studies, degree requirements must be completed within 5 years of the date of initial registration. Time Limitation | Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ
The School’s assessment and promotions and review policies are 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 xref: Occupational Therapy Master of Science (Applied) in Occupational Therapy | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ and Physical Therapy Master of Science (Applied) in Physical Therapy | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ.
You must successfully complete all the requirements of each promotion period before being permitted to enter the next promotion period. In order to be promoted to the next promotion period, a student must successfully complete all professional courses in each promotion period, as well as all requirements for inter-professional education courses.
The required minimum passing grade is B- (65%) for all courses with the designation of OCC1, PHTH, and POTH. As well, for any course with the designation of OCC1, PHTH, or POTH, which comprises both individual and group evaluations, or both theoretical and practical evaluations, each student must pass every component in order to receive a passing grade for the course (the minimum passing grade is B- (65%)).
No evaluation, examination mark, etc., shall be considered final until approved by the OTPRC or the PTPRC. Only final grades submitted on Minerva are the official ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ grades. myCourses (ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ’s Learning Management system) is a tool but not the source for final grades.
For the purposes of evaluation, the curriculum is broken down into the following promotion periods:
QY:
Promotion Period 1 Fall September -December
Promotion Period 2 Winter January-April
M1 & M2:
Promotion Period 1 M1 Summer May- August
Promotion Period 2 M1 Fall September -December
Promotion Period 3 M1 Winter January-April
Promotion Period 4 M2 Fall - program completion (includes summer research project)
Failure Policy, Withdrawal, or Dismissal from the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy
When a student has failed one course, or one or more course components, or has been found to have been engaged in unethical or inappropriate conduct (i. e. unprofessional behaviour), the OTPRC or the PTPRC will automatically review the student's entire academic record and general performance.
A student will be withdrawn from the University, if the student fails two courses (i. e. two different courses, one failed course plus a failed repeat of the same course or one failed course and a failed supplemental exam for that course). The student’s transcript will thereafter indicate that the student was withdrawn from the University.
Failing a course in a Qualifying Year is equivalent to failing a course in a graduate program, and counts as a first failed course if a student is subsequently admitted to a graduate program in a related field. For full details, refer to the Graduate Studies Failure Policy Failure Policy | eCalendar - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ
Academic offences such as plagiarism and cheating on examinations and unethical or inappropriate conduct are considered serious offences which could lead to dismissal from the program.
A student who engages in criminal activity and/or who is found guilty of having violated the criminal code will have their dossier referred to the OTPRC or the PTPRC; this may be considered evidence of unsuitability for the practice of occupational therapy or physical therapy and grounds for dismissal from the program.
The School has the right to dismiss, at any time, any student who is considered incompetent and/or unsuitable for the practice of occupational therapy or physical therapy.

Requirements
Entry to professional practice requires the completion of an M.Sc.A.OT. or 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 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 Master of Science (Applied) in Occupational Therapy | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ and Master of Science (Applied) in Physical Therapy | School of Physical & Occupational Therapy - ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ .
Entry to the Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) in Occupational Therapy or Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.) Physical 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) or the Physical Therapy Promotions and Review Committee (PTPRC) may recommend that a student not be admitted to the Master’s program if, during the Bachelor’s program, (i) the student 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.
Students from ƽÌØÎå²»ÖÐ or elsewhere who do not hold the undergraduate degree of B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) – Major in Occupational Therapy or B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) – 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 B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) – Major in Occupational Therapy or B.Sc.(Rehab.Sc.) – Major in Physical Therapy and proceed to the Master of Science, Applied, degree in the same discipline.
