Personal Experiential Counseling Requirements
Students in the clinical counseling and rehabilitation counseling programs are required to participate in personal counseling and experiential activities. These include participation in a small personal growth group, a group counseling course, counseling pre-practicum and practicum courses, and an option of individual personal counseling by the student counseling center or from another mental health professional to meet part of an optional requirement in the counseling practicum course. All of these personal counseling experiences are oriented toward increasing personal and interpersonal growth of the student in order to become a competent professional clinical counselor.
Retention Standards
Good academic standing in accordance with ECU Graduate School guidelines is required.
- Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in all required courses for the degree to graduate.
Students not maintaining the criteria above may be placed on academic probation in accordance with Graduate School policies.
In addition, the program has the following specific regulations:
- In courses graded on the S/U system, a minimum grade of “S” must be earned before progression to subsequent S/U graded courses; and
- No more than six semester hours of U or C or lower grades in any required or elective courses for the degree.
Students receiving a grade of U or C or lower in more than six semester hours of required or elective courses will be dismissed from the program in accordance with departmental policies.
In courses graded on the S/U system, the grade of Unsatisfactory (U) is assigned when the equivalency of a C grade or lower is earned. If a student receives a U grade in a course, the student may repeat the course one time. If an S grade is not earned on the 2nd attempt, the student is dismissed from the program.
Licensure/Certification Requirements in North Carolina
