I'm currently attending a SUNY right now hoping to transfer to the OT program at York College. I have heard about the program's accreditation was put on probation because of low pass rates. But I checked the AOTA website and the program is listed as an accredited OT program now. Has it been recently accredited?

IIRC, York was on probation but never lost their accreditation. It's very hard to lose accreditation, and I think they are the only CUNY school offering OT so I doubt they'd lose it (affordable, accessible). I hope the changes they are making going forward will increase their NBCOT pass rate.

Thanks for your reply, so are graduates from their program eligible to sit and take the NBCOT exam?

Yes! Here is their pass rate from 2013: https://secure.nbcot.org/data/schoolstats.aspx
York College, The City University of New York NY 93%

Much better! I hope they continue on with this trend, the alumni I've met from York are great practitioners.
