6: Request a Transfer Review

If you have taken master’s-level courses through another institution within a similar field, be sure to check out the information you will need to gather for a transfer credit review and request one from the Office of Admissions. Eligible students may transfer up to 12 credits towards their program.

Get Ready for Classes

Once all your documentation is submitted, there are just a few more things you'll need to do before your first day of classes.

Take advantage of the opportunity to join your cohort's Facebook group, a private Facebook group where you can get to know future classmates – or potential roommates – before classes start. Your admissions counselor will provide your invitation to join the group leading up to your start date.

Purchase or Waive Insurance
All students who already have their own health insurance must waive the Regis student health insurance option. Students who do not waive or purchase insurance will be automatically enrolled prior to the start of classes.

Check Your Class Schedule
All incoming counseling students are pre-registered for your first term of classes. You can select your top course preferences for up to two classes, however placement is not guaranteed. You'll receive your schedule once you've been registered.

Buy Your Textbooks
Textbooks are available one month before class begins. You can purchase—or rent—paperback and digital texts through the Regis Bookstore. Your custom book list can be found in WebAdvisor.

Plan for Orientation
Orientation typically occurs on the first day of the semester, so be on the lookout for more information from your admissions counselor. You’ll soak up some last-minute reminders, meet future classmates and get ready for the new exciting phase of your life.

Doctor of Physical Therapy
Technology Requirements

One of the primary resources that students will use in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program is technology. Students use computers throughout the curriculum for communication, access to course materials, submission of assignments, computer-based examinations, movement analysis projects, clinical education, and many other professional and academic tasks. At minimum, students are required to have a laptop (Apple or PC) OR a tablet (iPad or Microsoft Surface Pro).

Apple has set up an academic storefront for Regis University. Microsoft offers a student discount on the Microsoft Surface Pro.

Technology must meet these specifications:

The minimal technical specifications of your laptop computer should be a 2.0 GHz Intel processor or equivalent, 8 GB memory, 256+ GB or larger hard drive, and sufficient USB ports to connect back-up drives and other connections.
If you purchase an iPad, it must support iOS 11 and have a minimum of 64 GB storage.
If you purchase a Microsoft Surface tablet, you should purchase a new Microsoft Surface Pro.
We highly recommend you have broadband (cable or DSL) internet access at your home and during your clinical rotations so that you can access files through the University system.
Operating System: 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Windows 10.
Alternate versions of Windows 10, such as Windows RT and Windows 10 S, are NOT supported with the Program Exam software.
Only genuine, U.S.-English versions of Windows Operating Systems are supported.
The DPT Program exam software (ExamSoft) does not support tablet devices other than Surface Pro or iPad (iOS 11, iOS 12, and iPadOS 13)

We expect that students have the resources to produce work using Microsoft Office, either Office 2013 or Office 365, which includes: Word, Excel, Power Point, and Outlook. All Regis students will be able to access Office 365 online and/or download Office Professional Plus to their personal computers at no cost (more details at orientation). Students will receive suggestions for other essential applications from the program during orientation sessions in the first week of school.

The DPT program uses computer-based testing for all examinations across the curriculum. The software used for this testing is ExamSoft. The testing is done using either your laptop (PC or Mac, NOT Chromebooks) or tablet (iPad or Windows-based tablet, NOT Android-based tablets). Electronic testing has several advantages including quicker access to exam results, performance reports across the curriculum, and simulation of on-line testing for the national board examination.

Although the University is still primarily a PC-based institution, an increasing number of students and faculty use Apple Mac computers. While students are responsible for maintaining a functioning computer, the University IT Department provides limited support for student Mac and PC issues through Ranger Tech services.

Students have found value in having a smartphone to access RegisNET email, calendars, and other online resources and applications that are used in the program. While smartphones are not required, many students find access to mobile devices helpful on campus and in clinic.

Since all public spaces on the Regis campus have wireless Internet access, any device with wireless Internet can allow students to access Internet resources necessary for the program, such as library databases, course resources that may have audio and video supplements to course content, and specialized databases. Many physical therapy-related textbooks are available electronically for use on a computer and/or tablet.

In your first week of the fall semester, sessions will be held addressing the use of the iPad and applications within the program in the classroom. If you have any questions regarding technology requirements, feel free to contact the administrative assistant in the School of Physical Therapy at (303) 458-4340.
