Graduates from the Program will be able to sit for the National Certification Examination for the Occupational Therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination.  A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT Certification Examination or attain state licensure.

When you apply to take the certification examination with NBCOT, you will be asked to answer questions related to the topic of felonies.  For further information, you can contact NBCOT at 800 South Frederick Avenue, Suite 200, Gaithersburg, MD 20877-4150, (301) 990-7979.
