Continuing Education: Policies and Procedures

Introduction In addition to providing a quality educational program to our students, a component of our mission as an educational institution is the provision of continuing education programs for professional school psychologists. Professional development is vital to effective service delivery and practicing school psychologists need to have access to such information in a continuous basis.

The Psychology Department of California University of Pennsylvania is an approved provider of continuing education credits for psychologists by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs and State Board of Psychology. Additionally, California University of Pennsylvania is an approved provider of Act 48 credits (CEUs for educational professionals) by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

Plan To help meet the professional development needs of area psychologists, the School Psychology Program will provide at least one CE activity on campus per academic year. Additionally, through cooperative arrangements with local agencies, we will co-sponsor a minimum of three activities off campus throughout the academic year. In particular, we have an agreement with Intermediate Unit I (a state funded, regional provider of psychological and special education to school districts) to provide and/or co-sponsor CE activities during the school year for school psychologists employed in the surrounding tri-county area.
