Description of Respecialization Process
Once a student has been accepted into the program, due consideration will be given to graduate work done at other accredited institutions and some transfer of credits may be permitted. The Graduate School allows no more than six semester credit hours of graduate work, or 20% of coursework, whichever is greater, to be transferred into a master’s degree program. Such credits must be in courses which were clearly at the graduate level with grade B or better, and which duplicate coursework in Alfred University's School Psychology Program.

Students entering the program with a previous Master's degree in School Psychology may be able to transfer credit in the same manner. These students must still complete at least half of their required course work (excluding Internship and Dissertation credits) at Alfred University and attend for at least two years.

1. The 2010 NASP Standards for Graduate Preparation of School Psychologists defines a school setting as “…one in which the primary goal is the education of students of diverse backgrounds, characteristics, abilities, disabilities, and needs. Generally, a school setting includes students who are enrolled in Grades pre-K–12 and has both general education and special education services. The school setting has available an internal or external pupil services unit that includes at least one state-credentialed school psychologist and provides a full range of school psychology services.”
