Program Policies

Periodically, program faculty adopt policies to clarify decisions that may directly affect students. The following policies have been enacted by the program after consultation with students:

Policy on Grading

Student proficiency is graded by letter grades as follows: A indicates superior attainment, B indicates average attainment, C indicates below average attainment, D indicates far below average attainment. Grades of B will be assigned to students who demonstrate mastery of the curriculum content but whose performance is not exemplary. Grades below B will be assigned when students do not demonstrate mastery.

Adopted by Program Faculty, November 19, 1998. Endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Graduate Organization of School Psychology Students (now SASP), July, 1999.

Policy on Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a serious ethical violation. Any attribution of another鈥檚 work as one鈥檚 own without appropriate credit is considered plagiarism. This applies whether information is obtained from print, presentation, or electronic sources.

Faculty members have the responsibility to report all cases of student plagiarism. Information regarding what constitutes plagiarism and what actions can be taken can be found within the university policy on plagiarism. If a faculty member believes that a student's act of plagiarism was more a result of poor research and/or writing skills, and not a deliberate act of academic dishonesty, they may refer the student to Plagiarism School.

Adopted by Program Faculty, September 27, 2012. Endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Student Affiliates in School Psychology, October 10, 2012.

Policy on Sequence of Courses

Beginning with the Spring, 01 semester, students may not enroll in Year 2 coursework prior to completion of Year 1 coursework unless (a) an exception has been agreed to by the student's advisor and the course instructor, and (b) the student, advisor, and course instructor each sign a memo of understanding that outlines the ramifications of the early enrollment, which may include an increased need for self-study in prerequisite areas.

Adopted by Program Faculty, November 9, 2000. Endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Student Affiliates in School Psychology, February 7, 2001.

Passing Score on NTE Praxis Exam

A score on the Praxis Examination for School Psychologists that meets or exceeds the passing score specified by the Ohio Department of Education is necessary in order to apply for the provisional license as a school psychologist in Ohio. The program and SASP have adopted the following policy on passing the NTE Praxis Exam:

"It is the program's intent that graduates will be eligible for relevant credentials, including the Ohio Department of Education provisional license as a school psychologist and the NCSP, both of which require specific cut-off scores on the NTE Praxis exam. However, attainment of a specific score on the NTE Praxis will not be required to receive the Ed.S. degree."

Adopted by Program Faculty, November 9, 2000. Endorsed by the Executive Committee of the Student Affiliates in School Psychology, February 7, 2001.
