Adler School of Professional Psychology Catalog 2008 – 2009

Application Deadlines
Priority Deadlines
The Adler School employs a rolling admissions process. While applications
are accepted throughout the year, a February 15th priority deadline is in place
for the doctoral program. Programs fill early, so applicants are strongly
encouraged to begin the application process at least six to twelve months
before their desired term of entry.
Applicants seeking admission to the Psy.D. program for Fall semester
should submit a complete application by the priority deadline of February 15th
in order for interviews to be scheduled and notification of acceptance to be
completed by April 1. Those who are admitted must notify the Office of
Admissions and submit the tuition deposit no later than April 15 indicating their
intent to matriculate in the subsequent Fall term. Space permitting, applications
submitted after the deadline will be accepted subject to the Council of Graduate
Departments of Psychology (COGDOP) criteria. These criteria state that
acceptance of an offer of admission that is given or left in force after April 15
commits students to not solicit or accept an offer from the Adler School without
first obtaining a written release from any institution to which a commitment has
already been made. The February 15th deadline does not apply to certificate
and master’s level programs.
