408 BOARD O F T R U S T E E S [March 13 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS T O T H E CURRICULUM IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (5) T h e Dean of the College of Medicine recommends adoption of the following requirements for admission to the Curriculum in Occupational Therapy. His recommendation has been approved by the University Senate for transmission to the Board of Trustees: T h e Curriculum in Occupational Therapy, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy from the College of Medicine, is offered to men and women who are able to meet the requirements as listed below. T h e program consists of five semesters in the College of Liberal A r t s and Sciences at Urbana, and five terms in the College of Medicine in Chicago. T h e work on the Urbana campus is divided into two levels. T h e first year constitutes the pre-professional curriculum. T h e third, fourth, and fifth semesters constitute the professional phase of the work at Urbana. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Admission to the Pre-Professional Curriculum: T h e applicant must meet the following requirements: 1. Be a graduate of an accredited high school and meet the general requirements for admission to the College of Liberal A r t s and Sciences. 2. Rank in the upper 50 per cent of his (or h e r ) high-school graduating class, or pass satisfactorily examinations given by the Personnel Bureau at Urbana. 3. Be under 30 years of age. 4. P a s s satisfactorily a health examination given by the University Health Office. 5. Complete an interview with either the Assistant Dean of the College or the Director of the Curriculum in Occupational Therapy. These items must be certified to the Registrar before a permit to enter will be issued, and should accordingly be arranged well in advance of the date the applicant plans to enter. Admission to the Professional Curriculum: T h e number admitted to the professional curriculum is limited by facilities in the College of Medicine. Selections for admission to this curriculum will be made by the Admissions Committee of the Curriculum in Occupational Therapy. Candidates will be selected on the basis of scholastic record and such examinations and other evidence as the Committee may require, and will be notified of their acceptance or rejection prior to the beginning of their third semester of registration at Urbana. Admission to College of Medicine: Permission to pursue that portion of the work which is given at the College of Medicine is dependent on the achievement in previous university work. A university point average of 3.5 is a minimum requirement. Eligibility will be determined by the Admissions Committee of the Curriculum in Occupational Therapy after a careful study is made of all pertinent evidence. Other factors being equal, preference will be given to candidates who are residents of Illinois. Admission of Transfer Students: Transfer students must complete an interview as indicated in the general admission requirements, and they must also pass the physical examination. T h e results must be certified to the Registrar before a permit to enter will be issued. Before being eligible for admission to the College of Medicine, students, in all but exceptional cases, must complete a minimum of two semesters in residence at Urbana. After admission by transfer, such students will be governed by the same regulations applicable to other students in the curriculum. I concur.
