PsyD in Leadership Psychology New Student Checklist

Leadership Psychology PsyD Checklist

This checklist was developed to assist entering students with their transition to graduate study. Please read it over carefully and be sure to complete all the items as noted.

The IT Department will send an email  with instructions on how to set up your WJC email  and how to access all WJC systems. It is important that you set up your email and check it on a daily basis. You should use your WJC email to communicate with the College.

You will also receive a welcome email from the Directors of the Leadership Psychology PsyD program, Dr. Brandi Derr and Dr. Suzanne Devlin. This email provides many details such as asynchronous orientation materials for review including the first semester book list and the opportunity to meet your cohort in the Cohort Introductions Discussion Board. You will also learn more about the expectations for the 2-day, required, on-ground orientation.
