Important Updates

Faculty is working on reactivating our Chi Sigma Iota (CSI) chapter, so we can have our induction ceremony this May. Who is eligible to join CSI? Students who have completed at least one semester of full-time graduate coursework in a counseling program, have earned a grade point average of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 system, and who were recommended for membership by the faculty. Eligible students will be identified by faculty, notified in writing, and given further instructions on application.

Also, it has been suggested that the exit exam (CPCE) should be available for graduating students twice a year: during fall and spring semesters (currently it is available only in spring). The decision about adding another date for the exam in the fall will be made by the faculty (they will discuss it on February, 16th).

Stay tuned for further updates and feel free to contact the Club if you have any questions.

Congratulations, students!

It is official!
Our Counseling program is now CACREP accredited!
