These resources are intended to help current and prospective psychology students understand our degree requirements and experiential opportunities.

You can access our anonymous input survey here.

The Graduate Handbook (PDF) provides updated information about requirements for the different graduate programs, the processes for moving through the program, opportunities, and the general rights and responsibilities of graduate students.

The purpose of this handbook is to describe the structure and operations of the Department of Psychology's graduate program. It is intended to give new students the information they need to help find their way in the department.

It is also intended to serve as the official statement of the rules and requirements of the program. As such, we recommend that you consult this guide throughout your years in the program. Download the latest version above.

Students are also responsible for reading the University's Graduate Handbook (PDF) and for checking the most recent University requirements at the Office of Graduate Education website.

The Clinical Handbook (PDF) complements, but does not replace, the Department of Psychology and graduate school handbooks. Students need to be familiar with the rules and requirements in all three handbooks as all are applicable to them.

The Council of University Directors of Clinical Training (http://www.cudcp.us/) has adopted the following guidelines (PDF) for offers into doctoral clinical psychology programs.  If you are applying to a CUDCP program, you should expect the policies will apply.

The department presents the Harry Gollob Award to a current graduate student for the best first author publication describing work done at the University of Denver and either published or in press in the past 2 years.

The award is named after former faculty member and Department Chair Harry Gollob. As a statistician, Harry played a huge role in almost every graduate student's training here. So, the department honors his memory by having this award for graduate students.

The call for submissions for the Harry Gollob Award is made each spring. The requirements are:

• The student must be the first author.
• Only current graduate students can submit.
• The article must cover work done at DU.
• The article must be published or in press during the past 2 years.

Members of the department's Graduate Affairs Committee read all the papers submitted and choose the winner. The winner receives an engraved plaque, and his or her name is added to the plaque displayed on the first floor of the department.  Resubmissions are encouraged.
