How do I apply? **Please note that application to and acceptance by Newman University must precede application to the OTA Program. In the case of transfer and advanced-placement students, specific advice relative to course enrollment can effectively be given only after the student has been accepted by the University and the Registrar has completed a transcript analysis and issued a degree worksheet. Early application for Newman University admission is highly recommended as the first step in the OTA application process.** Review applicant handbook (PDF 1,061 KB).
