Indigenous Applicants

深夜福利站 values diversity and we strongly encourage Indigenous students to apply to our MScOT graduate program.

The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MScOT) program at 深夜福利站 prepares future occupational therapists for meaningful occupation-based practice by providing a venue of critical thinking, collaboration, a local-to-global perspective and a focus on social justice and equity. We foster an environment of respect and value where Indigenous applicants can thrive. We deliver on this commitment through equitable admission practices and review and evaluation of Indigenous applicant files that reflect these values. We endeavour to elevate applicants who have demonstrated the academic and personal attributes which will allow for successful completion of the program while prioritizing candidates who can enrich the program and profession through their life experience. 

We have a minimum of 5 designated seats for Indigenous students who are Canadian citizens and who have fulfilled the necessary admission requirements. You must self-identify as an Indigenous student in the ORPAS application to be considered for these seats. Students who self-identify as Indigenous must submit a consent form and documentation to the Office of Indigenous Initiatives at 深夜福利站.

To be successful in the program, we strongly recommend that applicants have a minimum sub-GPA of 3.0.

Please note, self-identifying or applying for a designated seat does not remove your application from the general applicant pool.

The consent form and Indigenous documentation must be received by the Indigenous Student Centre by: February 21, 2025.
