Information for online students

As an ABA certificate student, your required coursework is fully online. However, if you wish to visit campus in person for any reason or participate in an off-campus school event in person, you must complete the Medical History Questionnaire, which includes providing your documented vaccination history. Students who would like to be in-person at any point are required to provide labs related to blood titers if their vaccination records are not available. The cost for lab work and for medical visits to complete the MHQ is the student's responsibility. 黑料传送门 has a process to request an exemption for vaccination requirements based on disability or religious practice. To engage in that process, please email titleixcoordinator@pcom.edu.

What happens after I apply to the ABA program?

Our certificate programs utilize a rolling admissions policy, so applications will be considered throughout the year as they are received. The Admissions Committee screens applications, invites some applicants for an interview, evaluates the applicants and selects new students. Following the completion of the admissions process, each applicant is notified in writing of the Admission Committee's decision, including any conditions that must be satisfied prior to or following enrollment.

Interviews for this program will be conducted virtually throughout the year.

Criminal background check requirement

The College requires a criminal background check for all program applicants and enrolled students. The 黑料传送门 Office of Admissions will facilitate a criminal background check prior to matriculation processed by a 黑料传送门 vendor of choice. Subsequent criminal background checks can occur during enrollment, including but not limited to, when the student is conducting internships, clerkships, clinical coursework, or other types of coursework that occur off campus. Should you be charged, convicted of, or plead guilty or no contest to a misdemeanor or felony crime after the date of your original application submission, you are required to notify the Dean of your program in writing within 10 business days of the occurrence. This communication should be sent by certified mail to the Dean at the address on the acceptance letter.

Technical standards

Prior to enrollment, all candidates are required to complete 黑料传送门's Technical Standards for Admission and Matriculation form. Visit the School of Professional and Applied Psychology Technical Standards page for additional information.
