Information for Current Students

Student Forms
First year students will find the required research and community service contracts and logs. The contracts are due at the beginning of the year while the logs are due when the hours have been completed. Make sure you return these to Barbara Passudetti in Marillac SB36.

Third year students will find the instructions for using the School Psychology Service Delivery Analyzer (SPSDA) which is used to keep track of externship hours. SPSDA is also available to be downloaded. The monthly totals (table and pie chart) are due to Barbara Passudetti in Marillac SB36 the first week after the end of the month for the previous month. They must be signed by the student and the supervisor. Hours do not count for forms that are not returned on time. Students are required to complete at least 750 hours on externship.

General Information for Students
School psychologists are eligible for loan forgiveness after working in a public school setting for ten years. Please see the information provided by NASP.

All entering students receive a student handbook and should take the time to carefully read through them. Students are responsible for knowing all information and for following all the procedures contained in their respective handbook. Information such as course sequence, planning forms, program philosophies, program policies, evaluation forms, contracts, and much more can be found in the handbooks. Please note that each entering class has their own handbook.
