revised August 2007
This handbook is designed to provide information on all aspects of the Program for current and prospective students and to facilitate student progress through the Program. Current students are expected to be familiar with the material contained here and in the CUNY Graduate Center handbook, as well as in the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. In accord with the Guidelines and Principles for Accreditation of Programs in Professional Psychology, this handbook includes information about Program and CUNY Graduate Center policies and procedures regarding degree requirements, evaluation, due process and grievance procedures and grounds for termination. The Program recognizes the rights of students and faculty to be treated with courtesy, respect, collegiality and ethical sensitivity. Note that students enrolled in the program prior to 2007 can choose to follow policies and procedures of a past version of this Handbook, i.e., the handbook that was in effect when enrolled. Suggestions and comments about this handbook are welcome and should be directed to the Subprogram Head or Director of Clinical Training.
