This document presents a statement of the M.A. Counseling Program's primary policies and procedures. The Program Handbook is intended to (a) assist students in planning each phase of their studies, (b) familiarize students with the faculty's general educational policies, expectations, and standards, and (c) assist faculty in their advising of students and in assuring that the program's policies are applied systematically and fairly.

While the Handbook's policies are applicable to all current students in the M.A. Counseling Program, the required coursework pertains only to those who have been admitted for the Fall of 2007 and thereafter. Students who began their studies prior to 2007 are generally responsible for completing the curricular requirements that were in effect at the time of their admission. Such changes have been Summarized in separate memoranda.

This document is designed to compliment College of Education and University policy statements and catalogs, and to clarify those academic matters that are unique to the M.A. Counseling Program. The Program Handbook is an evolving document that will be revised periodically. Recommendations for clarifications in program policies and procedures, or suggestions for improving the usefulness of this Handbook will be graciously received by the Program Director.
