Academic and Competency Standards
The Department of Professional Psychology and Family Therapy follows University graduate policies on Academic Good Standing. In addition to this University policy, students must show continued evidence of academic achievement by maintaining a 3.0 GPA at the master’s level and a 3.25 GPA at the Ed.S. and Ph.D. levels. Students who drop below these averages, as measured at semester intervals, are referred to the academic standards committee for review. The committee decisions range from a warning to dismissal; and, students may not register until a final decision has been rendered by the committee. The Ph.D. program in Counseling Psychology has a separate set of academic standards that are outlined in the program’s Doctoral Student Handbook.
Adequate academic performance is necessary but not sufficient for continuation in a program. Students must demonstrate technical, ethical, interpersonal and effective competence in their chosen fields, particularly through practica and internship experiences. Despite adequate academic performance, as measured by the GPA, students may be denied a recommendation for certification or prevented from continuing or graduating if, in the judgment of the faculty, they have not demonstrated particular competencies or have violated the ethical principles of the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Counseling Association (ACA), or the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). All students entering programs in the Department of Professional Psychology and Family Therapy are expected to become familiar with Department Policies available on our Seton Hall Web page, particularly the department’s policy on Retention and Remediation of Students.
Statement on Student Disclosure of Personal Information
As part of their professional training, students are expected to be reflective in relation to themselves, their own families of origin, and to other systems with which they interact. Further, it is expected that students will engage in appropriate self- disclosure during classes, training, and supervision. This is for the purpose of increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills as family therapists, counselors, and psychologists.

Comprehensive Examination
The passing of the comprehensive examination is considered a prerequisite for doctoral internships. The examination is normally taken after the student has completed at least 60 credits of graduate work, including all coursework in the core and research areas.
Students who fail any part are required to take that part over. A second failure may result in dismissal from the program. Students should check individual program requirements, since these policies may vary by program.
Continuous Registration
Students must register continuously for CPSY 9991 Diss Advise I-CPSY 9999 Diss Advise IX Dissertation Advisement, until the thesis is completed and the final oral examination is passed. Students who are not taking courses or those who have failed the comprehensive exams must register for additional research study or maintain registration. Students also should refer to the general catalogue statements on continuity with regard to leaves of absence and continuation. Failure to register without being granted a leave of absence constitutes resignation.
Final Oral Examination
Following completion of the dissertation, a final dissertation defense is conducted. The examining committee is composed of each student’s dissertation committee plus two additional faculty members. The final oral examination focuses upon, but is not necessarily limited to, the dissertation. Students who fail this examination may request another examination but not earlier than three months from the time of the original examination. Students should check with the Graduate Admissions Office in the College for deadlines for submission of final copies and defense dates.
Time Limit
