NBCOT庐 Exam Results

Licensure

Graduates wishing to practice in the state of California must apply for a state license to practice. State licensure is based on successful completion of the NBCOT聽Certification Examination.

Certification

Graduates of the MSOT Program and OTD program are eligible to sit for the national certification examination for occupational therapists administered by the National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this examination, the graduate will be an Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR庐).

Felony conviction and the National Board Examination

A student having record of a felony conviction is advised to submit necessary documents to the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) for a background review prior to application. This is recommended because a felony conviction may affect a graduate鈥檚 ability to sit for the certification examination administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) or to attain state licensure. NBCOT鈥檚 certification examination application contains character review questions that must be answered by all exam candidates applying for the certification examination. Applicants who answer 鈥測es鈥� to any of these questions must submit an explanation and official documentation regarding their background to NBCOT鈥檚 Regulatory Affairs Department at the time of application to take the examination. This information will be reviewed by the NBCOT on an individual basis prior to determining exam eligibility.

An individual who is considering entering an Occupational Therapy educational program or has already entered an educational program can have his or her background reviewed prior to actually applying for the exam by requesting an early determination review.
