Slippery Rock University Doctor of Physical Therapy students go through the program as a cohort. Unlike undergraduates, DPT students do not register for courses each semester. Rather, the department secretary registers students for courses with input from course instructors. This diminishes registration mistakes and decreases the amount of time required of students in attending to administrative activities while going through the program.

Most 1st and 2nd-Year DPT students live off campus in Slippery Rock. Students often share apartments or houses with other DPT students. For those DPT students sharing an apartment or house with one or more other students, it is recommended that roommates also be in the DPT program. On-campus housing is also available.

Students are responsible for arranging and paying for any housing or transportation required during clinical rotations. Most clinical sites used by the SRU DPT program do not provide housing. Students should consider neighborhood safety and ease of transportation in addition to costs when making housing arrangements.
