If yes, please be conscious that an official background check is required of all students
before they can begin their fieldwork experiences. Also, you will need to submit
appropriate information to the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy
(NBCOT) for an “Early Determination Review”. Per the NBCOT: An individual who is
considering entering an educational program or has already entered an education
program can have his or her background reviewed prior to actually applying for the
exam by requesting an early determination review. The fee for this review is $100.00. In
this “early determination review” process, the NBCOT may give early or prior approval
to take the certification exam, as it pertains to good moral character, provided that the
information reviewed is not found to be in violation of any of the principles of the Code of
Conduct.
This review is intended to provide you with valuable information regarding your potential
to practice, to acquire licensure and national certification upon graduation and is not
intended as a punitive or discrimination measure for applicants having a criminal
conviction. Results of an “Early Determination” NBCOT review need not be submitted
to the program. If results indicate that certification or licensure may be a problem the
applicant may be advised to withdraw from the admission process.
NOTE: If you have additional questions or would like additional information you may
contact the Credentialing Services at NBCOT, located at 800 Frederick Avenue, Suite
200, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20877; phone 301-990-7979 or contact
