NOTE: Approval of prerequisite courses for admission to occupational therapy does not imply that the courses have been approved by other departments/programs within the University of Manitoba. 

Additional equivalency information

Prerequisite equivalencies

If you are unable to find your courses listed on the MOT website you can check to see if the University of Manitoba has previously assessed courses from your home institution. Courses that have been assessed for equivalency are located in the University of Manitoba’s Transfer Credit Equivalencies database.

Prerequisite reviews are not available in advance of an application (with the exception of those applying in the Canadian Indigenous applicant category). Applicants that are found to be in a competitive range for an interview offer will have prerequisite courses not previously assessed reviewed for equivalency by the MOT Chair of Admissions.

Social science or Indigenous content prerequisite requirement

This prerequisite is content specific and most courses from a department of sociology will meet the Social Science requirement. However, Research Methods courses from a department of sociology or Social Psychology from a department of psychology cannot be used as the Social Science prerequisite.

Courses in Cultural Anthropology (not Biological Anthropology or Archeology) and Human Geography (not Physical Geography) will also be considered.

It is anticipated that most applicants to the department of occupational therapy will use Introductory Sociology for this prerequisite.

Applicants with a grade lower than ‘B’ (3.0) in Introductory Sociology, Cultural Anthropology or Human Geography courses can use a higher-level course [with a grade of ‘B’ (3.0) or higher] to fulfill this requirement.

Sociology related courses from other departments and courses that focus on the social situations of specific populations (for example courses from disability or gender studies departments) can be considered.

Courses that address the historical, political, social and/or economic context and contemporary issues of Canadian Indigenous Peoples will be considered for this requirement.

Although only 3 credit hours are required to meet the Social Science prerequisite, applicants may find that having completed additional course work in Social Science will be helpful towards their learning within the MOT program.

Psychology prerequisite requirement

Most courses from a department of psychology will be considered for this requirement. However Research methods from a department of psychology cannot be used.

It is anticipated that most applicants to the department of occupational therapy will use Introductory Psychology for this prerequisite.

Applicants with a grade lower than ‘B’ (3.0) in Introductory Psychology can use a higher level psychology course [with a grade of ‘B’ (3.0) or higher] to fulfill this requirement.

Although only 3 credit hours are required to meet the prerequisite, applicants may find that having additional courses in psychology will be helpful in their learning with the MOT program.

Questions about prerequisites

If you have questions about prerequisites, please don't hesitate to contact us.

 

NOTE: Due to the high volume of inquiries, prerequisite pre-assessments are not available in advance of an application (with the exception of those applying in the Canadian Indigenous applicant category).

How to apply

Virtual admission interviews: Saturday, April 29, 2023

CASPer test

About the CASPer test

Applicants to the Master of Occupational Therapy program in the College of Rehabilitation Sciences are required to complete the CASPer test.

This online evaluation assesses personal and professional characteristics that we believe are important for successful students and graduates of our program.

Assessments offered by Acuity Insights include CASPer and Duet. CASPer is the only one that you must complete.

Test results are only valid for one admissions cycle. Therefore, even if you have taken CASPer in the past, you will still be expected to retake it.

You will need

In order to take CASPer, you must have access to:

  • A laptop or desktop computer
  • Webcam
  • Microphone
  • Reliable high-speed internet connection (speed of at least 1.5 Mbps and upload speed of at least 2 Mbps)
  • Valid email address (the same one you will use to submit your application)

You must also be prepared to present government-issued photo ID.

Registration

To register for the test (CSP-10201 Canadian Professional Health Sciences), visit Acuity Insights and register under your specific country using a piece of government-issued photo ID.

Ensure you have selected Masters in Occupational Therapy, University of Manitoba for distribution before the posted distribution deadline.

When registering, please use an email address that you check regularly and that you have used for your application as there may be updates to the test schedule.

You will be provided with a limited number of testing dates and times, which have been pre-arranged and approved by your program in accordance with admissions timelines.

Please note that these are only testing dates available for your CASPer test based on your program selection. There will not be additional test dates scheduled.

IMPORTANT: To account for identity verification and payment processing timeline, ensure that you register for your test at least three days before your preferred test date and time. Last-minute bookings are not recommended.
