M.A. in Counseling Psychology
Special Student Status
Special Student Status may be granted by the Program Director to individuals who either have an application in progress or are interested in selected courses without intending to become matriculated. To be eligible to register as a Special Student, a student must have completed a minimum of six (6) undergraduate psychology courses and must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 overall, and in their psychology courses.
A student is allowed to take up to four (4) Counseling Psychology courses as a special student. Special Students are not allowed to register for additional courses until they have been accepted into the degree program. Permission to enroll in graduate courses as a Special Student does not guarantee an individual admission to the Counseling Psychology program nor does it guarantee that all of the courses taken will be accepted in fulfillment of degree and/or licensure requirements. The Dean of the Graduate School reserves the right not to grant credit toward a degree for courses taken before admittance into the degree program. Courses taken by correspondence will not satisfy prerequisite or program requirements.
