January Entry - Course Sequence

Students who are admitted into the Occupational Therapy program in January may register for a maximum of three courses from the occupational therapy core curriculum. These courses include:

HAO 313 Introduction to Occupational Therapy (1 credit)
HAO 363 Computer Literacy (1 credit)
HAS 335 Medical Ethics (1 credit)

Taking HAO 313 and/or HAO 363 at this time will reduce the summer session credit load by up to 2 credits. Taking HAS 335 in this same semester will reduce the students’ credit load by 1 credit during the following spring semester.

Students who are January admits who need to maintain full-time status at Stony Brook University may register for additional courses from the University. Students entering in January must maintain their good academic standing and complete any outstanding conditions by the end of June to continue in the Occupational Therapy program.

Students must also complete 57 credits prior to admissions in the January session.
