Students are required to have a computer/device. This cost is factored into "Educational Supplies" above for the first year.
To ensure that you have a computer/device that meets minimum standards to function with UMMC platforms, it must at least function at the following levels:
- Windows 7 or Windows 10; Mac OS 10 or better;
- Must be patched by Operating System Company regularly;
- Modern browser such as the latest Chrome or Internet Explorer/Edge; and
- Must run a modern and updated anti-virus solution.
Clinical rotations
Students are required to travel to off-campus clinical rotations. Therefore, students should be prepared to provide their own housing, transportation, and other incidental expenses during these clinical affiliations.
Program withdrawal/refunds
Please note that the MOT curriculum is designed to be sequential (i.e., all courses for each semester are prerequisites for courses in subsequent semesters). Students are not allowed to withdraw from a single class without withdrawing from the entire program. If a student becomes interested in withdrawing from the program, the UMMC Bulletin provides details regarding the institution's withdrawal policy and related tuition refunds. Additionally, withdrawal dates are highlighted on the academic calendar provided on the School of Health Related Professions webpage.
