Student Performance and Dispositions Review

Faculty have the responsibility to both monitor students’ academic progress and their professional competence. While an individual may have the academic ability to successfully complete a graduate program at Richmont, some students remain unsuited for the necessary responsibilities of a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist. The faculty take this gate-keeping responsibility seriously. Students are evaluated based on their performance professionally and personally during their training at Richmont. Clinical performance, academic performance, and general personal deportment are all factors considered each semester by the faculty and staff as part of the Student Performance and Dispositions Review. The full description of the Student Performance & Dispositions Review process is outlined in the Graduate Catalog.
