Doctoral students in Clinical Psychology who are accepted into, and participate in full-time clinical internship programs as part of their required degree program, may request to have their tuition reduced by 50% during the internship period of one calendar year. If the internship is half-time, the reduction is available for two calendar years, and is 25%. The discounts are only available for the appropriate calendar year length, regardless of the internship's true end date.

Students enrolled in the Respecialization in Clinical Psychology certificate program may request to have their tuition reduced by 95% once they have completed all academic and clinical requirements for the certificate, excluding the internship. Students who have completed all requirements including the Pre-Internship Evaluation, but continue on practicum prior to internship will be entitled to an 85% reduction. Once the respecialization student begins their full-time or half-time internship, the reduction is reduced to or continues at 85%. The 85% reduction remains in effect for the remainder of their student tenure.

Neuropsychology certificate students who do not complete their clinical portion of the program within two years, and remain enrolled a third or fourth year, will receive an 85% reduction on tuition while they complete their clinical work.

Clinical Psychology doctoral and Respecialization students who enroll in an internship program that is accredited by the American Psychological Association or listed by the Association of Psychology Internship Centers automatically qualify for these reductions upon request.

A Clinical Psychology doctoral or Respecialization student may be considered for the internship tuition reduction if the following conditions are present:

1) The fulfillment of the internship is a regular expectation of the profession.

2) The internship is a requirement for the degree/certificate and was mandated by an external certifying body in the profession of that person.

3) The internship involves an organized series of experiences and regular supervision by an experienced professional in the field.

Since internships are not a requirement of all programs, individual applications for other programs will be considered on a case-by case basis.

Effective 9/1/06: Clinical Psychology doctoral students who are advanced to candidacy prior to or while they are on reduced tuition during internship, will recaive the cumulative benefit of both the internship and advancement to candidacy discounts.
