* All fees subject to change each year.

** The cost of textbooks is for new (including recommended) not used or rented ones.

Students are responsible for expenses related to fieldwork and travel.

Students will need to have a reliable computer and access to internet to run various computer programs including: OTA assigned programs, Zoom, Panopto, and Canvas.

To complete assignments we recommend Microsoft applications versus Google applications.

Students must have current health/medical insurances to participate in fieldwork. There will be no exceptions.

Students are expected to dress business casual the first spring term of the OTA program. Students will have uniforms issued during summer semester. After all students receive their items, the expectation is for students to wear the appropriate clothing to multiple simulation scenarios occurring in the OTA lab. The OTA program simulation activities give students a replica of a clinical environment. Simulation provides students opportunities to work on professional and soft skills in a safe environment.
