1.0 Purpose of the Manual
The manual contains the policies and procedures of the National Council of Schools and Programs of
Professional Psychology-abbreviated NCSPP. This manual is to serve as a reference for the officers and
members of the organization as they carry out the work of the organization.
1.1 Policy Exceptions. Exceptions to the policies can be made by a majority vote of the Executive
Committee, except for those policies which are contained in the by-laws. By-law exceptions can be
made only by a majority vote of the membership.
1.2. Changes. Changes to the Policy and Procedures manual can be made by a majority vote of the
Executive Committee. Procedural changes can be made by a majority vote of the Executive
Committee.
1.3 Set Review. Every two years (even-numbered years), this manual should be reviewed and updated
with any new or modified policies or procedures.
2.0 Membership
2.1 Membership Categories. NCSPP has two classes of members: Member and Associate Member.
Membership is held by programs.
2.1.1 Member. Any program in psychology which is primarily designed to produce doctoral-level
practicing psychologists and is accredited by the American Psychological Association shall be
eligible for election as a member.
2.1.2 Associate Member. Any program within an institution with either provisional or full accreditation by a regional accrediting body recognized by United States Department of Education which
offers doctoral training in professional psychology but which is not accredited by the American
Psychological Association shall be eligible for election as an Associate Member.
2.1.3 Observers. Any program or incorporated group in the process of developing an APA- or
regionally accredited program of professional psychology shall be eligible for denomination as an
Observer. An Observer shall not be a member of the Council. At the discretion of the Council,
an Observer may attend Council meetings and receive publications and other printed material.
An Observer shall not be entitled to privileges of the floor nor shall an Observer be entitled to
vote. An Observer delegate shall not be eligible for election to the Executive Committee. An
institution or group denominated as an Observer shall be assessed an annual charge to be
determined by the Executive Committee. The privileges of an Observer may be revoked by a
majority vote of the members or by a majority vote of the Executive Committee.
2.2 Representatives (Delegates). Each program, by a procedure it adopts, shall designate at least two
delegates from that program who shall represent the institution in any meeting of the Council. In the
absence of the designated delegates, the program may designate an alternate delegate(s) from that
program who shall have all the rights and privileges of the designated delegates. Each program may
Revised November 2014

increase its delegation to three if at least one delegate contributes to the ethnic/racial diversity of the
meeting, or if such a delegate is unavailable, at least one contributes to gender diversity. Each
program may increase its delegation to four, if at least one delegate contributes to ethnic/racial
diversity and at least one other delegate contributes to gender diversity.
2.3 Voting Privileges. Each delegate of each Member program in attendance shall be entitled to one
vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Council and shall be eligible for election to the
Executive Committee. No delegate from an Associate Member or Observer organization shall be
entitled to vote nor shall be eligible for election to the Executive Committee. A delegate from an
Associate Member or Observer program may serve on Committees of the Council, if any, at the
appointment of the Executive Committee.
2.4 Dues. The basic annual membership is $1,300 for Member and Associate programs, and $450 for
Observer programs. (See 11.0 Financial Policies for dues structure.) The Executive Committee sets
the amount of membership dues and reviews the amounts each year. Each program within a school
that meets the criteria for membership must pay dues. If both Ph.D. and Psy.D. programs are offered
by the same school, the school must clarify which program is the member of NCSPP or pay dues for
both programs. The dues statement will clarify this issue to the member programs.
2.5 Recognition of NCSPP affiliation. If delegates are officially representing NCSPP at conferences,
committees, or other organizations where documents or publications are produced, the delegate’s
association with NCSPP should be noted on the document or publication.
2.6 Elections of Members. All applicants for membership shall file with the Central Office a written
application in such form as the Executive Committee shall from time to time determine. All
applicants for membership shall be presented promptly, but not less than once a year, for
consideration and investigation to the Executive Committee, or to the Membership Committee if a
Membership Committee has been appointed by the Executive Committee; and if a Membership
Committee has been appointed, it shall report its recommendations promptly to the Executive
Committee. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Council shall be required for
election.
2.7 Termination of Membership. When any member shall be in default in payment of dues for a period
of twelve months from the beginning of the fiscal year or period for which such dues became
payable, membership may thereupon be terminated by the Executive Committee in the manner
provided in Article III of these Bylaws. This section shall not prohibit the Council from immediately
terminating subscriptions to its publications when a member has not paid dues on the date prescribed.
2.7.1 Resignation. Any member may resign by filing a written resignation with the
Secretary/Treasurer, but such resignation shall not relieve the member so resigning of the
obligation to pay any dues, assessments, or other charges theretofore accrued and unpaid.
2.7.2 Reinstatement. Upon application by a former member filed with the Secretary/Treasurer, the
Council may, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the delegates, reinstate such former member
to membership upon such terms as the Council may deem appropriate.
Revised November 2014

2.7.3 Change in status. Members are required to notify the Secretary/Treasurepromptly of any
change in qualifications for member status. An Associate Member must apply for status as
Member by making application as previously described in 2.1.1. Any member program that loses
or withdraws from APA-accreditation shall automatically change in status to Associate Member
without making an application or request to do so.

3.1.2 Procedures for nominations and election of NCSPP Officers.
Nominations for President-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer and the NCSPP CoA Representative shall be
solicited in the Council in a manner to be determined by the Executive Committee.
In March of each year, the NCSPP Administrator, in consultation with the Past President, will send a
call for nominations to all delegates from MEMBER programs for the election openings for the
following year. Nomination ballots will be returned to the NCSPP Administrator, tabulated and
the results forwarded to the Past President. The Past President develops the slates for election and
coordinates with the candidates. Each candidate, for any executive office, needs to have more
than one nomination to be considered on the slate. Candidates’ statements are solicited, and
distributed with the ballot to all delegates of MEMBER programs. Ballots are returned to NCSPP
Administrator, tabulated and the results forwarded to the Past President. The Past President
notifies each candidate of the results of the election. Prior to the business meeting in August, but
usually in May or June, the Past President notifies all those who have run for election of the
results. The results of the election are formally announced via email shortly thereafter, and again
at the business meeting in August at summer conference.
3.2 Standing Committees. Elected chairs will be invited to attend the next EC summer meeting. There
shall be three standing diversity committees of the organization: (1) The Ethnic/Racial Diversity
Committee, (2) The Women’s Issues Committee, and (3) The Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender
Committee. The Executive Committee shall designate the duties and responsibilities of these
committees(3.2.1, 3.2.2, & 3.2.3).. These committees elect their own chairpersons and viceRevised November 2014

chairpersons who shall assume the position of the chairperson if that person is unable to complete his
or her term of office or until such time that the committee can elect a replacement chair. Only
delegates from full member programs are eligible to be nominated for chairs of standing committees.
All elections for standing committees will occur at the midwinter conference/annual meeting.
Diversity committees rotate the fund of $1500/year to utilize for committee-specific awards and
recognitions that can be used for a chosen award recipient (an individual or an institution) who show
significant contribution in the areas of ethnic/racial diversity issues, women’s issues, or LGBT issues.
3.2.1 Ethnic and Racial Diversity Committee (ERDC)
Mission: The Ethnic Racial Diversity Committee (ERDC) was formulated for the purpose of
advising the Executive Committee on behalf of the membership concerning issues which impact
the organizational and training agendas of the Council. Explicit in this charge is the social
responsibility to ensure that representation of diverse ethnic and racial groups is reflected in the
organization’s membership and committees. Through such advocacy the Committee promotes
and insures the integration of issues of ethnic/racial diversity throughout all programs and
activities, facilitates and consults on the development of ethnic/racial diversity in the programs
and curricula of member programs and schools, and helps NCSPP to implement the resolutions of
the Puerto Rico Conference.

Mission: The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Committee is committed to diversity as concerns
the psychological welfare of individuals who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgendered
(GLBT). The committee promotes awareness and sensitivity to GLBT issues among NCSPP
member schools and programs, promote such awareness within the profession and within broader
society. The GLBT Committee also promotes and encourages research that adds to the extant
body of knowledge about GLBT persons and issues, and stimulates more competent service
delivery to individuals, families and organizations where GLBT issues are often invisible but
salient relational factors. We see this concern as more than a matter of professional knowledge,
skills and attitudes, but also a matter of quality of life and equaility. Thus, social responsibility,
relational competence and advocacy for GLBT concerns are an important component of the
Committee.

5.10 Conference Diversity Scholarships. NCSPP has a strong commitment to ensure continued cultural
and ethnic/racial diversity representation among its member programs’ delegates. Diversity
scholarships are available to member and associate member schools and programs, which send
racially/ethnically diverse delegates or faculty to the midwinter conferences. One scholarship per
school is funded. The actual dollar amount available depends on the number of scholarship
applications received. All viable applicants receive an equal share of the scholarship money
appropriated for that budget year, with the share not to exceed actual expenses incurred.
Member programs should forward the name of their diversity delegate and copies of the total expenses
accrued to the Secretary/Treasurer no later than 30 days following the end of the Midwinter
Conference.
5.11 Conference Student Fellowships. NCSPP funds student participation at the midwinter conference.
NCSPP funds eight students each year at the rate of $800.00 per student. Additionally, there will be
$1,000 support for the returning student coming from the previous delegation in order to provide
continuity of student participation from year to year. Costs incurred beyond this amount are covered
by the home institution. Student Delegates are not required to pay the registration fee for the
conference. NCSPP will also fund a dinner for the students and the Student Liaison, costs not to
exceed $600. The method of selecting the returning student is determined by the student delegates in
Revised November 2014
- 23 -
consultation with the Student Liaison. Each year, eight programs are eligible to send one student.
Other students are not allowed to attend the conference.
5.11.1 The NCSPP President appoints a delegate to serve as a Student Liaison. The Student Liaison
notifies programs of their eligibility to send a student delegate, identifies and communicates with
the chosen student delegates, and coordinates the student delegate activities at the conference.
The Student Liaison hosts the dinner for the students at the conference, usually the evening before
conference activities. The Student Liaison organizes the rotation of program and student
eligibility and attends EC meetings with Committee Chairs.
5.12 Conference Budget. The conference committee will plan to present the conference within the
constraints of the budget provided. Invited presenters may have their expenses reimbursed for the
duration of the conference, but only in unusual circumstances would an honorarium be presented. If
additional expenses beyond the budget are required for a conference, it is expected that additional
revenue, in the form of conference registration fees, exhibitor fees, or sponsor donations will be
sought to support the additional expense.

GLBT Committee Professional Psychologist Award Announcement and Review Procedures
The GLBT Committee Professional Psychologist Award is presented to a psychologist who is a
member of the faculty or the administration of a NCSPP Member or Associate Member program. The
GLBT Committee invites the nomination of psychologists in NCSPP member schools who have

socially responsible and aware professional who is an advocate for GLBT issues and concerns.
The intent of this award is to increase awareness and sensitivity to GLBT issues among NCSPP

to the extant body of knowledge about GLBT persons and issues, and lead to the provision of more
Revised November 2014

competent service delivery to individuals, families and organizations where GLBT issues are often

of professional knowledge, skills and attitudes, but also a matter of quality of life. Social
responsibility, relational competence, advocacy and social responsibility are the core of this award.

GLBT Committee Student Award Announcement and Review Procedures

currently enrolled in a member school and has demonstrated noteworthy commitment to issues of
diversity as concerns the psychological welfare of individuals who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or

Revised November 2014
- 27 -
The intent of this award is to increase awareness and sensitivity to GLBT issues among NCSPP
member schools and programs, promote such awareness within the profession and within broader
society. The members of the GLBT Committee also believe that a student award of this nature
promotes and encourages research that adds to the extant body of knowledge about GLBT
persons and issues, and stimulates more competent service delivery to individuals, families and
organizations where GLBT issues are often invisible but salient relational factors. We see this
concern as more than a matter of professional knowledge, skills and attitudes, but also a matter of

award.

7.0 Liaison/Monitors Policies
Revised November 2014
- 30 -
NCSPP identifies each liaison and monitor and the rationale for their participation in NCSPP activities.
A liaison to NCSPP is a person who represents another organization and participates in Annual Meeting
and/or midwinter conference. A monitor is a non-participant who may attend Annual Meeting and/or
midwinter conference upon invitation by the President. Neither may vote. No liaisons or monitor shall
attend the Executive Committee meetings except by invitation. Liaisons and monitors must be approved
by the Executive Committee.
Liaison appointments. The President of NCSPP shall appoint liaisons and monitors annually to represent
NCSPP at other group and organizational functions approximately one month after the Annual Meeting.
Liaison attendance. The ERDC, WIC, and GLBT Committees will send liaisons at least once each year to
CWP, CLGBTC, and CEMA at APA consolidated meetings. A second liaison activity is anticipated
yearly which may be these organizations or another choice of the committee chair and the EC, but a third
liaison must be approved by the EC for funding.
Liaison responsibilities. Liaison responsibilities include not only attendance at meetings but also active
participation on the organization’s listserv rear-round. Also, liaisons are expected to post a summary of
the meeting on the NCSPP listserv within 30 days of attendance to the meeting.
8.0 Publication Policies No person who participates in the authorship of any NCSPP publication has any
right of ownership, nor are they owed any royalties or financial interest in said publication. Participation
in such projects is considered to be voluntary. Substantial participators in the production of a publication
may be identified on the final product as acknowledged contributors.
9.0 Electronic Communication
9.1 Internet Listserv Policies. There are NCSPP listserves for the Executive committee, delegates, and
faculty. The uses of these listserves include information sharing, collaborative research postings, and

15.0 RESOLUTIONS AND ASPIRATIONAL DOCUMENTS ADOPTED BY NCSPP
Diversity Competency
Diversity refers to an affirmation of the richness of human differences, ideas, and beliefs. An inclusive
definition of diversity includes but is not limited to age, color, disability and health, ethnicity, gender,
language, national origin, race, religion / spirituality, sexual orientation, and social economic status, as
well as the intersection of these multiple identities and multiple statuses. Exploration of power
differentials, power dynamics, and privilege is at the core of understanding diversity issues and their
impact on social structures and institutionalized forms of discrimination.
Training of psychologists should include opportunities to develop understanding, respect and value for
cultural and individual differences. A strong commitment to the development of knowledge, skills, and
attitudes that support high regard for human diversity should be integrated throughout the professional
psychology training program and its organizational culture.
Competence in diversity issues may be best accomplished with a multifaceted approach, including
integration throughout the curriculum, as well as through specific required coursework and experiences.
Students and faculty benefit from exposure to the knowledge base, theories, and research findings that
serve as a foundation to guide their understanding and skill development, utilizing this knowledge to
critically analyze all aspects of practice. Attention to social and cultural values influencing the
profession, as well as development of awareness of individual differences and values within the
practitioner, are themes to be interwoven across the training of professional psychologists. Students
benefit from the opportunity to explore integration and adaptation of models necessary for work with
diverse, marginalized, or underserved populations.
Students should have varied opportunities for acquiring knowledge and skills as well as understanding the
professional values and attitudes that reflect social responsibility, social justice, and respect for human
diversity. These experiences may include among others: classroom learning, programmatic activities,
practicum experiences, supervision, and internship training. It is expected that this competency is
integrated across all aspects of education and training and forms an integral part of each student’s
professional development and identity. (August, 2002, Bus)
Advocacy as a Professional Value
“Be it resolved that NCSPP endorse the inclusion of advocacy as a professional value and attitude.
“The education and training of 21st century psychologists aspires to incorporate exposure to, and experience
with advocacy that extends beyond action supporting the direct service needs of clients. Advocacy also
activates public policy considerations, advances improved service, training, research and funding,
promotes practice to the full extent of our education and training, and raises the awareness of issues that
affect the well-being of the public at large. From grassroots activism to local, national and international
lobbying, the informed, effective advocate provides expertise on challenging human welfare issues while
strengthening the voice of psychology in public policy decisions.
Revised November 2014
- 37 -
“Advocacy as a professional value and attitude promotes the knowledge and skills of the professional
psychologist toward promoting the interests of individual clients, systems of care, public health and
welfare issues, and/or professional psychology itself. Activities are directed to governmental and
legislative bodies, licensing or credentialing boards, other organizations representing psychology,
organizations representing higher education and other entities. A systems perspective complements this
area and the broad values put forward by NCSPP related to diversity as previously defined are to be
considered as consistent with the goals and foci of advocacy activities. This area is also concerned with
the creation of a socially responsive voice for the underserved, economically disadvantaged and
powerless.
“By endorsing this motion we are encouraging NCSPP member programs to develop through a multitude of
mechanisms these professional values and attitudes in ourselves and our students. This does not demand
the addition of required courses to the curriculum. Rather, it is expressed through promoting the
development of active citizen psychologists and enhances the education and training of NCSPP students.
