The APA Commission on Accreditation (CoA) has issued a Notice of Actions indicating that the NAU Doctor of Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.), has been granted initial Accreditation, on contingency. The Accreditation on contingency expiration date is February 25, 2027. According to the CoA Accreditation Operating Procedures, “‘Accredited, on contingency’ is granted to a doctoral program when the program demonstrates initial evidence of educational quality consistent with the SoA [Standards of Accreditation] and the capacity to meet all accreditation standards in the designated time frame. Review for this status requires matriculation of students, clinical evaluations of students in practicum, evidence of the integration of science and practice, and significant resource allocation.”.
Students who complete a program that is recognized as “accredited, on contingency” effective before their graduation date will have completed an APA accredited program. Accreditation is effective from the last date of the site visit, February 25, 2022. The CoA will conduct its next review of the NAU program in 2025, at which time the program will be considered for full accreditation status.
