Graduate Handbook

This handbook describes current academic departmental regulations and program area requirements for graduate education in psychology. The University has minimum requirements for all graduate students, but these requirements are superseded by the more specific departmental requirements and/or program requirements. In some cases the program requirements take precedence.

Students are accountable for familiarizing themselves with department requirements as well as academic responsibility. Staff are available to assist and guide students; however, it is the students’ responsibility to know what the University, college, and departmental policies and procedures expect from students.
