PS Statement of Purpose - The prompt for the statement of purpose can be found through the online application system and is detailed on the Graduate School's website. Click on Degrees and Programs and select Occupational Therapy from the drop down list of programs for the prompt. USE THIS PROMPT RATHER THAN THE GENERIC ONE ON THE APPLICATION ITSELF. CV All graduate programs require a resume or CV to be uploaded within your application. Your resume/CV should provide information about your work and volunteer experiences, research, awards, recognitions and activities pertinent to your proposed program of study. Fee Although you can submit your application without paying the application fee at the same time, you MUST pay that nonrefundable application fee ($85.00) to the graduate school prior to the application deadline. Failure to pay the application fee by the deadline may result in your application being removed from consideration. RL Letters of Recommendation: You will be asked in the online application to provide the name, credentials and email addresses for three references. These references will be contacted directly through the application system and asked to provide a recommendation for your application. Within the email they receive, there will be instructions about how to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. An applicant can tell when the recommendation(s) have been received by logging in to her/his application. You do not have to have all the letters in before submitting your application. Transcript Transcripts - applicants must upload electronic copies of transcripts from any previous college-level institutions at which they have taken classes. Please refer to the admissions instructions( http://gradschool.unc.edu/admissions/instructions.html#purpose) about transcripts on the Graduate School website. All transcripts are to be uploaded to the application. DO NOT MAIL TRANSCRIPTS.
