The second stage occurs when the student is considered for admission into the Professional Development program of the Department. Theories of Counseling must be completed. All written application materials must be on file, and screening data and course work are taken into account. Faculty advisors are assigned, and Candidacy forms are completed. Application may be brought to screening or mailed in.
All participants receive feedback from the department.
Should the department's assessment indicate that there is not a good fit with the program for any candidates, they will not be permitted to enroll. Students permitted into the class are assigned pre-admission advisors. Each semester the department distributes preregistration materials to all enrolled students. After requests have been checked against the department data base to ensure that all credit and course requirements have been met, students are issued white Course Request Forms with the department stamp. Students should stay in close touch with advisors.
