Past and current work experiences can be taken into consideration. The DDP Office allows the option of a credit by challenge to be submitted in place of certain rotations. Credit by challenges are exclusive to the NTPD program and the maximum students are able to submit are three. Students provide evidence listed in the challenge to show they meet the objective of the clinical rotation using past or current experience. There is a statute of limitations on the timeframe of experience which is 6 years prior to starting the NTPD program. This means any and all experience in a credit by challenge must not be older than 6 years.
You can find the topics that are accepted for credit by challenges in the following credit by challenge information. Your academic advisor would also work with you to assist in credit by challenges and let you know what experience you have can be used.
