Course
registration for each term needs to be done online through the University’s
TitanConnect homepage at https://tc.udmercy.edu/cp/home/displaylogin.
Students will be supplied with a username and password by the university to
complete registration at time of admission into the program. Consult the online
class schedule to determine the names, dates, times, and locations of classes
for each term.
The
Clinical Psychology MA Program Director serves as academic advisor to all
Clinical MA students. The Director has access to your student folder and
provides authorization for online registration and, where needed, the
signatures necessary for registration and other administrative documents.
The Academic Advisor will help you select your courses for the next term and will keep track of your progress in the program. You are encouraged to contact your advisor at the first indication of academic difficulties. Your Academic Advisor provides advice regarding administrative aspects of the program and may not necessarily be your Thesis Advisor.
Commencing
in the 2006-2007 academic year, the progress of all first year students will be
reviewed by the Program Director or faculty designate. A feedback and advising
meeting will then be held with each student in term 2 (i.e., winter term).
Official
add, drop, and withdrawal from classes can be done through TitanConnect, or by
following these steps:
1.
Obtain a Change in Registration Form from the Registrar's
Office or the Psychology Office in Reno Hall.
2. If
adding a course, complete the form and, if necessary, obtain the instructor's
signature (only needed if the course is closed or if classes have already
started) and advisor’s signature. If
dropping a course, obtain your advisor’s signature.
3. Return
the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
Note: If you do not officially drop or withdraw from a class within the
specified time period - even if you do not attend the class - you are
responsible for payment of full tuition and fees for that class.
Students
requesting tuition charge adjustments for withdrawing from classes after the
Add/Drop period because of medical or personal reasons must provide the Student
Service Center with a statement from his/her physician clearly stating that the
student cannot attend school for the current semester. The Physician's statement must reach the
It is
extremely important to keep the Registrar's Office and the Psychology
Department informed of changes in your address, telephone number, and
e-mail address. You may miss important
information by failing to submit a change of contact information to both
offices.
Students must file Graduation Applications and pay
graduation fees before they will be officially graduated. They must be filed by the deadline as listed on
the university’s website. The exact deadline for any given year can be obtained
from the Program Director or CLAE Dean’s Office if it cannot be found online.
Applications are available online or through the
Registrar’s office or the Psychology Office. There is a fee for the university
to process the application. The fee is applied to your student account.
Students are permitted to submit an Application for
Graduation by the deadline for the year in which they are going to complete all
program requirements. However, Program Director approval is required before a
student is allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony (typically held in May of
each year). Approval of the Program Director will be contingent on (a)
satisfactory completion of all course work up to the Winter term of the
student’s last year in the program (i.e., the term during which students begin
practica), (b) positive feedback from instructors in all courses taken during
the last Winter term, and (c) positive feedback from clinical supervisors
regarding the student’s performance while on practicum.
NOTE: Graduates who are financially indebted to the University cannot receive their diplomas or official copies of their transcripts until all outstanding balances have been paid. Failure to file a Graduation Application in a timely manner will result in the postponement of graduation for an additional semester.
