Graduation
IHP EL-OTD students' progress through the OTD Program in a lock-step progression with full-time enrollment for every semester of the curriculum, concluding the final year of the program with:
- Summer Level 2 Fieldwork – first placement
- Fall Level 2 Fieldwork – second placement
- Doctoral Capstone (Jan-April)
- May Graduation
Once a student has completed all course work, fieldwork and Capstone requirements, the student will be cleared for graduation. Variances from this sequence and timeline require planning and approval by the Program Director or Chair, and may result in additional costs to the student.
Commencement events are held in May for all students graduating in January, May, or September of a given calendar year. To be considered for graduation, students must submit the required application for graduation. Reminders about this process will be sent from the Registrar’s Office prior to the application period.
