Examination must be passed prior to enrollment in Level V
courses (PSYC 836: Practicum in Counseling Psychology; PSYC 861:
Seminar in Counseling Psychology; PSYC 858: Internship in
Counseling Psychology).

concurrently. However, students must complete the 100-hour

Students may not enroll in these Level V courses until they have

If a student has not completed the internship experience by the end of
the semester, he/she must enroll in a one (1) credit hour independent
study course (PSYC 801).
