This review is guided by the ethical principles and professional standards of both the American Psychological Association (APA) and the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
Professional functioning is evaluated across multiple domains that reflect these ethical frameworks. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Some students may not be able to continue in or complete the program should the program faculty determine that, despite acceptable grades, they cannot consistently align with the non-academic professional expectations of the program.
