Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

Administrative Withdrawal will be noted on the transcripts of students, who
have been administratively withdrawn. Students, who wish to return to their
studies, must submit a new application for admission no sooner than one year
after their dismissal and, if admitted, must follow the regulations and program
requirements in effect at the time of the new admission. Students readmitted
to the School may be eligible to receive up to 24 credits for coursework
completed either at the Adler School or another institution. Students, who wish
to appeal the decision of Administrative Withdrawal, can follow the procedures
of the Grievance Policy posted online at www.adler.edu.
Withdrawal in Good Standing
Students may withdraw from the School in good standing by submitting a
letter of request to the Registrar’s Office. To withdraw in good standing,
students must be in good academic standing at the time of withdrawal, have
completed all requirements for courses and clinical work for which they are
registered, have made full payment of all outstanding tuition and fees, and not
be subject to any pending disciplinary, ethical, or academic inquiries.
Withdrawal in good standing is noted on the transcript.
Former students, who wish to return to the School after withdrawing in
good standing, must submit a new application for admission and, if admitted,
must follow the regulations and program requirements in effect at the time of
the new admission. Students readmitted to the School may be eligible to
receive up to 24 credits for coursework completed either at the Adler School or
another institution.
Satisfactory Progress
Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to maintain good
academic standing. To maintain satisfactory progress, students must first
remain consistently registered until completion of all degree requirements.
Students who fail to maintain active matriculation (i.e. register each term) will
be administratively withdrawn from the School, and Administrative Withdrawal
will be indicated on the transcript. Students are considered to be making
satisfactory academic progress if they are taking a course load that ensures
steady movement toward degree completion within the maximum time limits
for degree completion, and if they are meeting all academic and clinical
standards. All students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0
on a 4.0 scale in order to be in good academic standing, to participate in
practica and internship (doctoral students), to receive financial aid, and to
graduate. In addition, students must successfully complete (“B” grade or
better) 70% of attempted coursework in each term they are enrolled in order
to be eligible for federal student financial aid.
