Abstract

Graduates of the program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), Inc. located at One Bank Street, Suite 300, Gaithersburg, MD 20878. NBCOT’s telephone number is (301) 990-7979 and its Web address is https:// www.nbcot.org/. After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR).

Note that a felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT Certification Examination or attain state licensure.
