The new NBRC Therapist Multiple Choice (TMC) admissions policies require the applicant to “be a graduate and have a minimum of an associate degree issued by the sponsoring educational institution.”
Both CoARC and the NBRC have a mutually‐agreed upon definition of the point at which a student is considered a graduate (and therefore can apply to the TMC Examination). For RCS reporting purposes, programs must record the actual graduation date for each student in the Student Profile section of the RCS (as opposed to when the student completes the program, for example).
