Academic Progress
The student progresses and promotes through the program of study by completing each required general
education and OTA course with at least a minimum final grade of "C". In Occupational Therapy Assistant
(OTA) courses, a minimum final grade of "C" in theory, laboratory and Level I fieldwork is required. The
student must meet all requirements of each general education and OTA course in the program of study in
order to progress. Passing in all university and/or college courses is determined according to the policies
of the respective institution. A final theory grade of "C" is required by the school for all university and
college courses.

All coursework, including Level I Fieldwork assignments, must be satisfactorily completed before a
student is allowed to enroll in Level II Fieldwork. Students must earn “credit” on Level II Fieldwork I
and II in order to meet graduation requirements. All Level II fieldwork experiences must be completed
within 18 months of the completion of coursework.

An incomplete "I" grade may be made up at the sole discretion of the Program Director. If the
incomplete course work is not completed within the established time frame, the "I" grade becomes a
final grade of "F."

The BHCLR-SOTA utilizes the following grading system to signify student progression through the
program of study. A final letter grade is assigned for each course and fieldwork experience completed.
Each letter grade has a corresponding rating that denotes the quality of student learning. A percent range
is used to determine the letter grade. Value points are used to calculate the Grade Point Average (GPA)
and for other purposes, such as honors awards at commencement and scholarship awards by Baptist
Health Foundation and others.
