  • I understand that my ability to start taking courses at LSC is dependent on results of placement testing, if necessary. * Required
  • I understand that I need to request my Joint Services Transcript be sent to Lake Superior College. * Required
  • I understand that I am not eligible for the PTA Program until I have completed at least 6 months’ of work experience as a PT Specialist/PT Tech after Phase 2 military training. * Required
  • I understand that Phase 2 training does not count toward the 6 month work experience requirement. * Required
  • I understand I need to obtain a recommendation from a PT who supervised me for at least 6 months during the required work experience period. The recommendation must be on the specific form required by the LSC PTA Military Bridge Program and must be sent directly from the supervising P.T. to Jane Worley at ptamilitarybridge@lsc.edu * Required
  • I understand my supervising P.T. also needs need to complete a Skills Documentation Log form and send it as part of my program application to Jane Worley * Required
  • I understand that if my military training occurred prior to January 2006, I must petition acceptance of these earlier training dates through the LSC petition process and that the result of such a petition is not guaranteed. * Required
  • If honorably discharged I must submit my DD-214 form to Lake Superior College. * Required
  • I understand I am responsible for securing needed financial aid for this program and that the LSC Financial Aid office can be contacted with questions at (218) 733-7601. * Required
  • I understand I will be required to complete two online orientations; one is for the college (SOAR) and one is for the PTA program (administered through the E-Campus). * Required
  • I have read the program eligibility requirements and attest that the information provided as part of my application to the college and program is complete and accurate. * Required
  • I understand that in order to graduate from the program, I will be required to pass a comprehensive final exam similar in difficulty level to the National Physical Therapy Examination; this will occur during my final semester in the program as part of PTA 2780. I will be given more than one attempt to pass this final exam, but requiring a re-take will most likely delay graduation from the program. The current first-time pass rate for this comprehensive final exam is 40-60%. Each attempt on the exam must be supervised by an approved exam proctor; this will likely require travel and/or time off from work and supervisors may not be used as exam proctors. * Required
  • I understand that if I earn a grade of D, F, or FN (failure for non-attendance) in any technical program course (i.e., PTA 2680, 2682, 2780), I will be considered to be in PTA Program Academic Probation status, and will be moved to the bottom of the priority list for the current academic year for seats in technical program courses. Student who formally withdraw from the course prior to the withdrawal deadline will not be penalized for the first withdrawal from any course. * Required
  • I understand that graduates of accredited PTA programs are qualified to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). Passing the NPTE is a requirement in all 50 states. Licensure in any particular state is controlled by the state licensing board in that state and other factors, such as background studies and criminal history, may affect a graduate's ability to obtain licensure. Students/graduates may find information about licensure requirements in the state in which they want to practice through the web site for the Federation for State Boards of Physical Therapy (www. fsbpt.org) * Required
