Procedures are specified in the Graduate Student Manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation of Students<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Student evaluations are conducted annually by the program. Your progress in the program is assessed in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Through formal yearly evaluations by the clinical program faculty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual review by the student&#8217;s program committee.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The clinical faculty evaluation consists of reviewing the student&#8217;s completed annual evaluation information form, course grades, practicum evaluations, other clinical evaluations, research evaluation, teaching or other assistantship evaluations, and departmental\/program service. The faculty discuss this information and complete a written evaluation form which is returned to the student. Students have the opportunity to discuss the evaluation with either the DCT or their major professor. The student, DCT, and major professor sign the form acknowledging receipt of the information. A copy of the evaluation is kept in each student&#8217;s file. The annual evaluation form indicates whether a student&#8217;s progress is outstanding, good, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory. For students whose progress is less than satisfactory, specific program requirements which are to be completed and deadline dates for completion are indicated, as well as consequences for noncompliance. A remediation plan may be instituted including guidance regarding specific steps necessary to address identified problems. Feedback is provided as to whether the student has successfully met the goals of the remediation plan. If remediation has not been successful, a possible consequence is a recommendation to the graduate school that the student be terminated from the program. In addition to the above procedures, the graduate school requires annual status reports of student progress to be submitted by the student&#8217;s major professor and program committee. Additional information is contained in Section 10 of the Graduate Student Manual on scholastic standing. To facilitate the evaluation process we require that students submit an annual evaluation form and copy of their curriculum vita for the year. The evaluation form is designed to update us about activities during the past year. This form will be distributed by email during the spring semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Professional Licensure Disclosure<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><small><em>In accordance with the 2019 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, URI hereby discloses only that the curriculum for this program meets the <strong>educational requirements<\/strong> for licensure as a Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Program in <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1282\/Psychology-licensure-List-of-States.pdf\">all U.S. States and Territories<\/a>.
