INTERNSHIP
A
1600 hour internship, accredited by the Canadian Psychological
Association or the American
Psychological Association, or an internship that meets
equivalent standards and requirements,
is required. Students may have to fulfill the
internship requirement at a site outside of the Lower
Mainland of British Columbia, as local sites are limited.
PROGRAM
ADVISOR AND COMMITTEE
Through
the admissions process, the program undertakes to
assign a student to a program advisor
who will normally become the student's research advisor.
The program advisor is assigned based on
common interests of the student and the faculty member
and input from both are used in this assignment.
Subsequently, the student in consultation with the
advisor will identify two additional faculty members
to guide and support successful passage through the
initial year of the program. After the first
year,
the advisor will continue as the student's research
supervisor or help the student find another research
supervisor. The research supervisor is responsible
for guiding and supporting the student through the
remainder of the doctoral program. The research
supervisor and student consult to establish a dissertation
committee. An annual written evaluation is provided
to each doctoral student.
RESIDENCY
REQUIREMENTS
Residency:
In order for students to meet deadlines for comprehensive
examinations and candidacy,
the department requires students to be engaged in
full time study for a minimum of two calendar years.
This means engaging in paid work not connected to
your graduate program for less than 12 hours per week.
ADMISSION
TO CANDIDACY
(a)
Students normally will be Admitted to Candidacy when
they have completed the residency period, completed
all required coursework, and passed the comprehensive
examinations and their research supervisor has certified
that their thesis proposal has been accepted by their
supervisory committee.
(b)
The Faculty of Graduate Studies expects that a typical
doctoral student will be Admitted to Candidacy on
completion of a two-year full time study period. A
student who is not Admitted to Candidacy within a
period of three years from the date of initial
registration will be required to withdraw from the
program. Extension of this period may be permitted
by the Dean of Graduate Studies under exceptional
circumstances.
