Applicants with criminal convictions should be aware that felony convictions will likely make it difficult for you to complete the external agency training experiences (i.e., external practicum, internship) required for the Ph.D. If you are unable to obtain and complete these required experiences, you will not be able to complete your program of study and graduate. In addition, be aware that you may not be eligible for licensure by the State of Michigan Board of Psychology or the boards of other states. The Michigan Board of Psychology has indicated on their webpage that applicants who have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor will be “reviewed on an individual basis” and that they “take into consideration the type of conviction, the age at the time of the incident and the time elapsed since the conviction.” Thus, it is also possible that future employment would also be limited.

Your application will be reviewed only if your file is complete by the application deadline.
