As part of an ongoing performance-based assessment process, students are evaluated with respect to academic skills, practice competencies, and professional/ethical conduct.
Student fitness and performance are evaluated throughout the Program by faculty members, advisors, and supervisors.
The criteria used by the faculty to make professional judgments include:
Course instructor evaluations of students’ performance on academic and simulated practice requirements, as well as professional behavior.
Field supervisor evaluations of students’ performance in practicum and internship situations.
Student adherence to the profession’s codes of ethics.
Students who are not making satisfactory progress or who are not meeting program standards may be asked to complete an improvement program and, if necessary, to withdraw from the program. Students may be counseled to leave the graduate program at any time it appears that continuation in their program seems unwise. Information about required withdrawal can be found in the next section.
