ACOTE’s Disclosure Statement regarding Probationary Accreditation Action:
The Occupational Therapy Assistant program at Mercy University, Dobbs Ferry, New York, was placed on Probationary Accreditation effective April 6, 2025, due to noncompliance with 2018 Standard A.6.4 (Certification Exam Pass Rate). This noncompliance is considered so serious that it threatens the program’s ability to provide an acceptable educational experience for students.
The program has been required to submit a Progress Report to return the program to full compliance with the Standards within the mandated time period for correction.

The Occupational Therapy Assistant program at Mercy University has been granted a status of Probation Accreditation-Inactive by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200, North Bethesda, MD 20852-4929. ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its Web address is www.acoteonline.org. This status indicates that the program is not currently enrolling new students and does not plan to enroll new students in the future. While the program is on Accreditation-Inactive status, the graduates of the program remain eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapy assistant administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be recognized as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). In addition, all states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. Please note that a felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.
