The School Counseling Master’s Degree Program has
adopted a formal Admission, Retention, Suspension, and
Dismissal (ARSD) policy. This policy details all admission
requirements. It also provides comprehensive information
regarding retention, suspension, and dismissal matters regarding
students who have been admitted to the program. The
ARSD policy is available on the program website (homepages.
se.edu/gus/graduate-programs/master-of-education-degreeprograms/m-ed-in-school-counseling).
Student’s Right to Due Process (Appeals):
Due process in higher education refers to the provision of
a fair and just opportunity for students to explain and defend
their actions against charges of misconduct or to challenge
decisions made on their behalf with regard to university and/
or program admission, retention, suspension, or dismissal
decisions. In essence, due process provides the student with
an established course of action and proceedings designed to
safeguard his or her rights.
Professional Associations
School counseling students are strongly encouraged to
become student members of the American Counseling Association
and the American School Counselor Association, along
with the Oklahoma affiliates for both of these organizations.
