Notice of Actions — Accreditation Status: Fall 2011

The following serves as a notice of actions related to accreditation status taken by the Commission on Accreditation (CoA) of the American Psychological Association at its October 20-23, 2011, meeting.  As a reminder, granting of accredited status is effective from the date of the site visit; thus, the year of the next site visit is calculated based on that date. This list does not include actions on programs that did not receive an accreditation decision (i.e., deferred for information or for cause), or programs who submitted other correspondence or interim reports for review at the fall meeting. Definitions of all accreditation statuses can be found on pages 6-7 of the Accreditation Operating Procedures (PDF, 145KB).

The official listing of all accredited doctoral, internship and postdoctoral programs appears in each December edition of the American Psychologist. An electronic list of all currently accredited programs in psychology is also available.
