Prerequisites & Waivers

Prerequisite Wavier or Substitution

Prerequisites are the academic requirements that must be satisfied before applying to the OT program. The OT program does not tell students specific courses to take or not take.  It is your responsibility to determine if your class will meet our requirements.

Students may request a prerequisite course waiver or substitution via a written petition to the Chair of the Admission Committee via the program email: occtherapy@utrgv.edu.  The student must have a signed waiver/substitution form by the OT Admission Chair, OT Department Chair, or OT representative as proof of approval. Course substitutions and waivers are considered on an individual basis and must be approved before the application deadline. Prospective students may get credit for work/life experiences for prerequisite coursework if requested and applicable. Documentation of the work experience would be required and must be approved before the application deadline
