School Counseling Advancement to Candidacy
Master’s Degree students may file an Application for Advancement
to Candidacy with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research (ED 1, Rm.
7) once the Writing Proficiency Examination (WPE) is passed and a series
of required courses is completed (see the 2006-2007 CSULB Catalog for updated
curriculum). Read the CSULB Catalog section(s)
dealing with Advancement to Candidacy carefully. Failure to file the Advancement
to Candidacy form can have significant negative consequences. When you
have been advanced to candidacy, you will have "catalog rights,”
and may be formally admitted to the Master’s Degree program. Students
who are advanced to candidacy remain subject to periodic review by program
faculty.
Please note: Periodically throughout the program, all students are evaluated
based on their knowledge, dispositions, and performance. Consistent with
the College of Education Strategic Plan, such review and retention procedures
consider students' demonstration of professionally acceptable values,
beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors toward their potential students/clients.
Applications for COUN 695C and Comprehensive Examination or Thesis
must be on file in the Graduate Office according to deadlines published
in the University Catalog.
It is highly recommended that you become familiar with the University
Catalog. It will assist you in the planning of your program as
well as understanding the policies and procedures governing the University.
It is your responsibility to know and follow those policies and procedures.
The Catalog is available online and for purchase in the University Bookstore.
