Is there a minimum volunteer or work experience requirement?
Yes, you must have a minimum of 50 hours working with an occupational therapist. You must also be involved with two different sites. One of the sites need only be 8 hours (these hours count toward the 50 hours). You must show documentation of those hours as part of your application. Students taking OC TH 3000 Introduction to Occupational Therapy (through the U of U, Division of Occupational Therapy) with a B grade or better, will be able to waive 25 of the 50 hours and will then be required to have contact with one setting other than the class. Students completing an Introduction to OT course at another institution and receive a grade of B or better may waive 15 hours and only need one additional site.
