Professional Performance Criteria
The American Counseling Association code of ethics requires counselors and counselor trainees to maintain standards of professional competence and possess good moral character. Therefore, the Counseling Program requires these Professional Dispositions.
APA Guidelines
All students taking Counseling courses are expected to use APA style described in detail in the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association, (6th Ed., 2010) for all written work. Students are expected to purchase this book.
Attendance Policy
Two or more unexcused absences may result in no credit for the courses that are 3 credits or more. For 2 credit courses, one or more unexcused absences may result in no credit for the course. For 1 credit courses, no unexcused absences are permitted.
Readmission Policy
Admitted students who do not attend classes for two consecutive semesters (excluding the summer term) are automatically dropped from degree-seeking status. These students must apply for readmission to the program in order to return to degree-seeking status. To apply for readmission, students must:
- Submit a statement describing (a) reasons for seeking readmission, and (b) current professional goals and activities.
- Submit a minimum of three letters from professional references who can address your readmission to the Counseling program.
- Submit a current transcript
- Complete a Graduate Re-enrollment Form.
- Observe the regular GSE admission deadlines.
Students requesting readmission may then be invited to an admission interview. Readmission is granted only upon Counseling full-time faculty's evaluation of the applicant's qualifications, interview, and past program participation.
