Everyone,
Our fieldwork experiences were set to begin this week; however, with Nevada Governor's order to close all non-essential businesses on March 18th, we have deferred fieldwork experiences tentatively until April 20th. We are currently within the evaluation phase to determine if the April 20th date is still logical.  We've had a 20% of placements cancel prior to this notification.

Our Level IIs are slated to start around July 1, so we are waiting until mid-May or so to make such decisions.  Fingers-crossed that it will be 'resolved' by then.

I would like to hear from people who are planning a delay in starting FW II in summer and/or postponing to fall.  Our first rotation is scheduled to begin June 8th and the second one September 8th with an anticipated graduation of December 12th.

What are the issues you are facing at the current moment.

Thanks in advance, Dahlia

Subject: [OT-PD List - AOTA] - degree conferral dates

Hello everyone,

Are any of your universities discussing adding or changing degree conferral dates? For example, adding one mid-semester to accommodate students delayed in completing fieldwork.  Our university only confers degrees in August, December, and May- if students miss the August date and finish Level II’s in September, they will have to wait until December. Our Provost has asked for information about what other schools are doing.

Thank you,

Dana
