Application Process for Occupational Therapy Education
Application review: Fulfillment of the basic application requirements does not guarantee admission into the professional program. Special consideration for admission is given to Nebraska, Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming residents and to nontraditional students who apply.
Admission to the program and the privileges of the occupational therapy student shall not be denied to any person because of race, age, color, disability, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin, marital status, Vietnam-era veteran status or special disabled Veteran status. UNMC complies with the Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 governing the privacy of student records.
Alternates: Applicants on the alternate list will not be informed of their ranking. Alternates will be notified as soon as possible about an open position in the class. If positions do not become available for alternates during a given year, they are welcome to reapply, but selection as an alternate does not guarantee acceptance in subsequent years.
Deferrals: The program will consider requests for a deferral of admission from accepted students with unforeseen or extraordinary extenuating circumstances. To obtain our Admissions Deferral Policy, please contact us at the phone or email listed below.
Class Size: Enrollment in the program is limited to 46 students per year, ~30 on Omaha campus and ~16 on Kearney campus.
