Department of Psychology
The Department of Psychology is made up of three doctoral degree programs, including an APA accredited Clinical w88 casino games login, the Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login and the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) accredited Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login. The Cognitive and Brain Sciences w88 casino games login and Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login also offer Master’s degrees. An additional number of students are enrolled in Satellite Master’s degree programs in Behavior Analysis in the United States and elsewhere. The Master’s degree programs in Behavior Analysis are also accredited by ABAI.
Behavior Analysis Master's w88 casino games login
Behavior analysis is a sub-division w88 casino games login discipline of psychology, distinguished by a unique philosophical, theoretical and methodological orientation. The philosophical orientation is one of naturalistic monism. Historical and contextually-situated behavior-environment relations constitute its subject matter. Its method is experimental, with aims of description, prediction and control of its subject matter. It has also a distinctive, widely applicable and highly effective technology.
Mission statement
The mission of the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login at the University of Nevada, Reno is to strengthen behavior analysis as a scientific discipline and as a professional occupation.
w88 casino games login goals
The Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login is committed to academic and financial success. It is the top priority and thus the first goal:
Goal 1: To assure the success of the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login.
Some of the means by which this goal may be accomplished include engendering support for the w88 casino games login from the university, securing additional faculty positions and graduate assistantships, providing service to the University through committee work and supplying outreach to the community.
Strengthening the discipline and profession of behavior analysis entails operating in such a manner as to demonstrate continuous improvement in the w88 casino games login’s effectiveness in achieving success. Hence, the second goal:
Goal 2: To demonstrate continuous improvement in w88 casino games login outcomes indicative of the accomplishment of its mission.
The means by which we may accomplish this goal is to articulate, implement, monitor, evaluate and modify our practices based on continuously collected data. The w88 casino games login operates in accordance with an ongoing w88 casino games login Evaluation System for this purpose.
To accomplish these first two goals, it is necessary to enlist the participation of all w88 casino games login members and to do so in such a way as to foster enthusiasm and collegiality. Hence, the third goal:
Goal 3: To engage all w88 casino games login participants in a genuine partnership, dedicated to the achievement of the w88 casino games login’s mission.
Some of the means by which this goal is accomplished includes involving all w88 casino games login members in w88 casino games login governance, operating in accordance with open-book financial management practices, and working toward improved w88 casino games login evaluation outcomes.
w88 casino games login objectives
Our objective for the w88 casino games login is to provide comprehensive training in behavior analysis, out of which more specialized basic, applied and theoretical interests in behavior analysis may be developed. A balance of basic, conceptual and applied training is sought. More specifically, the objectives of the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login are:
-
- To preserve the accumulated knowledge of behavior science by imparting it to others.
- To develop the science of behavior through the production of new knowledge.
- To contribute to the betterment of society by the application of this knowledge.
- To assure the viability w88 casino games login profession through participation in its governance.
Administration and management
w88 casino games login director
The Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login is administered by the w88 casino games login director, who reports to the chair of the psychology department and serves as a member of the department’s executive committee. The w88 casino games login director provides leadership to the w88 casino games login in the accomplishment of its mission.
Behavior Analysis training committee
The Behavior Analysis Training Committee (BATC) is the policy and decision-making body for the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login. The BATC is chaired by the w88 casino games login director, and is composed of all behavior analysis faculty plus two elected student representatives, one from each degree w88 casino games login. The financial officer is an ex-officio member of the BATC. The operations of the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login are managed by way of a number of standing and ad hoc committees, including Admissions, Marketing, Courses and Curriculum, and w88 casino games login Quality Assurance among others, as needed.
Administrative assistant
The financial operations of the w88 casino games login are managed by the administrative assistant, who reports to the w88 casino games login director (Ramona Houmanfar). This person manages the BA office, and provides assistance associated with management of academic operations such as graduate admissions process, and acts in an advisory capacity to the BATC.
Faculty
The Behavior Analysis faculty presently consists of four core members, including: Bethany Contreras, Ramona Houmanfar, Matthew Lewon, Matthew Locey and incoming faculty members: Anna Ingeborg Petursdottir and Jonathan Schulz. Linda Hayes, Steven Hayes, Patrick Ghezzi and Larry Williams serve as emeritus faculty.
The Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login is w88 casino games login-based, meaning that the faculty members are available to advise the students in their respective labs on matters related to their education and training. Faculty serve as models in this regard for scholarship, professionalism, citizenship and stewards of our science and its institutions.
w88 casino games login
We seek w88 casino games login who are committed to a behavioral orientation in psychology and who show research and scholarly potential as teachers, scientists and practitioners. We value both ability and accomplishment in our selection process and in our continuing support for our w88 casino games login. We work closely together, and it is thereby important to us that w88 casino games login fit in well with the group, both intellectually and interpersonally.
Students are expected to function independently, to take the initiative in developing research plans, and to assume responsibility for the direction and specific goals of their learning experiences. Students are expected to be able to schedule and manage their time effectively. The first two years of the w88 casino games login are much more structured than any later ones, as students are expected to complete most of the required courses during these years. It is important that classes and exams be completed on schedule, making it necessary for students to take required classes when they are offered. Students are expected to devote themselves to their studies full time, including summers throughout their tenure in the w88 casino games login.
We also believe students learn a great deal from each other. Consequently, we seek a heterogeneous w88 casino games login population, of younger and older students, both male and female, with racial and cultural diversity.
Preparation for graduate study
It is expected that graduate students enrolling in the w88 casino games login have solid backgrounds in psychology. If a deficiency is noted, students are required to eliminate the deficiency, either by taking courses or through other suitable means. In any case, students should indicate in a written proposal to the BATC how they plan to meet a particular deficiency. The w88 casino games login consists of course work, research and practical training. These activities are described in detail in this handbook.
Didactic courses
Course work in the w88 casino games login consists of 24 required credits in behavior analysis, as shown below. In addition, there are 6 credits of practical experience and 6 credits of thesis, for a grand total of 36 credits. Please visit the University catalog for full w88 casino games login requirements.
Transfer of credits
Students may wish to substitute graduate courses taken at another institution for courses required by the w88 casino games login. (This includes courses taken as a Graduate Special at the University.) The BATC approves transfers on a course-by-course basis, wherein transfer approval depends on the substitutability w88 casino games login course to be transferred for a specific course required in the curriculum. A transfer of credits proposal must include the University course to be substituted, the transfer course syllabus including reading lists/textbooks, and a description w88 casino games login level w88 casino games login course and its prerequisites (copies of relevant pages from the catalog w88 casino games login school involved are helpful on this point). Practical training credits are not approved for transfer, regardless of where they were accumulated. The w88 casino games login must have earned a grade of “B” or better to transfer the course (a grade of “B-“does not satisfy this requirement.)
Master's students wishing to propose credit transfers must submit a proposal with relevant documentation to the BATC by the end of the first semester of their graduate training at the University. The maximum number of transfer credits allowed by the Graduate School is 9 semester credit hours. Once approved by the BATC, a transfer of credit form must be filed by the w88 casino games login with the Graduate School at the University.
Practical training
Aim and purpose
The purpose of the practica is to provide supervised applied training to graduate w88 casino games login. These experiences are of different sorts and are arranged in part to support w88 casino games login’ career interests and, in part, to broaden their interests.
Placements and procedures
Practicum experiences may involve clinical, educational, research or organizational and w88 casino games login development work. Placements are arranged and assigned by the BATC and are managed and monitored by the faculty to whom the student is assigned. Students may neither apply for nor accept an offer from a practicum site without the written approval of the BATC.
One semester of practicum is equivalent to 150 hours, or 10 hour per week for 15 weeks. Students are required to log their time and activities and to make these data available to the relevant faculty on a weekly basis. Practicum faculty are responsible for specifying w88 casino games login's responsibilities, signing their logs, and for guiding, monitoring and evaluating students’ performance. Students, in turn, are responsible for evaluating practicum faculty. If the w88 casino games login does not log 150 hours by the end of the practicum semester, they will receive a grade of “Incomplete” for the semester and will be required to finish the hours during the subsequent semester.
Academic advisement
When students enter the w88 casino games login, they are assigned to one of the core behavior analysis faculty who serves as their academic advisor for the first semester of study or until such time as a research advisor is arranged. Student and advisor should work out a tentative w88 casino games login of study, including the transfer of previous graduate courses. The academic advisor also serves as the liaison between the student and the BATC, and source of support for counseling, tutoring, or other assistance.
Research lab selection
First year students are required to attend the lab of their appointed advisor during their first semester to align with the research enterprise of the w88 casino games login. During this time, first year students are also encouraged to visit other research labs in the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login for the purpose of familiarizing themselves with faculty research interests and advisement styles. By the beginning of their second semester, each graduate student should, with the permission of faculty member involved, settle into what is to be their primary research lab.
Academic advisement and mentorship
Each student in the w88 casino games login has an academic mentor whose primary responsibility is to assist the student in completing their degree requirements. This includes facilitating the student’s research, promoting the student’s professional development, and preparing the student for employment as a behavior analyst. The advisor also serves as the liaison between the student and the BATC. If at any time a student needs counseling, tutoring, or other assistance, the mentor is the person to help him/her make the appropriate arrangements. The advisor is also responsible for initiating disciplinary procedures in the case of a student’s ethical or academic misconduct.
It also is the responsibility of a faculty member to provide appropriate guidance and oversight with respect to each of their student’s course and other credit registration completions each semester, including approval of grant-in–aide or other w88 casino games login tuition payment agreements. Such payment arrangements must be completed within the time-lines specified by the graduate school each semester.
Lab participation
Research experience is accomplished through participation in faculty research labs. All faculty members hold weekly lab meetings and w88 casino games login are required to participate in the activities of their adviser’s laboratory.
Master's thesis
The Master's thesis is supervised by a committee of three graduate faculty members, including one outside w88 casino games login Department of Psychology. Thesis research must be approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Nevada, Reno, prior to participant recruitment and data collection. That approval is contingent upon a committee-approved thesis prospectus.
A thesis is usually proposed during the second year of the student's w88 casino games login and completed by the end of the third year. The student works with his/her mentor to develop a research proposal. Upon completion of the proposal to the satisfaction of the mentor, the proposal is distributed to the other members of the student’s committee and a date for a prospectus meeting is established. At this meeting, the student makes a presentation on the proposed research, followed by a question and answer period, after which the student is excused while the committee makes its evaluation. Three outcomes are possible: (1) Pass: The prospectus is approved as is or with minor modifications; (2) Conditional Pass: The prospectus is approved with more extensive revisions which must be summarized in an amendment to the proposal; or (3) Fail: The prospectus must be revised in accord with the committee’s recommendations, after which a second meeting must be held.
While desirable, a Master’s thesis need not make an original contribution to the science of behavior or its applications. It is the responsibility of the w88 casino games login and the thesis mentor to conduct the study as approved by the thesis committee at the time of the proposal meeting. Thesis proposal meetings and defenses may not be scheduled in the anticipated absence of a member of the committee. In special circumstances the missing member must have approved of the proposal or defense document and that approval must be received in writing by the committee chair (the w88 casino games login’s mentor) prior to the meeting.
Upon completion w88 casino games login thesis to the satisfaction w88 casino games login mentor, it is distributed to the committee members and a date for the defense is established. The defense is conducted similarly to the proposal meeting, and has the same three possible outcome.
w88 casino games login are encouraged to present their theses at a professional meeting or conference, and to submit their work for publication.
Professional development
Board Certification for Behavior Analysts (BCBA and BCaBA)
The w88 casino games login’s curriculum is approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) as meeting the training requirements necessary to sit for the examinations for certification at the BCBA and BCaBA levels. Students for whom this professional credential has immediate or longer-term professional significance are expected to have completed the requirements necessary to sit for the BCBA exam within three years of their admission to the w88 casino games login. These requirements include completion of all necessary courses, a completed thesis, an awarded degree and the proper number of hours of supervision. (Students are referred to the BACB web site for complete information regarding Board Certification.)
Those faculty who are BCBA and who opt to supervise students in their lab do so in strict accordance to the guidelines of the BACB. A w88 casino games login’s responsibility in this regard includes making the relevant forms available to the faculty member supervising their applied experience and making sure they are current, complete and accurate.
Supervision for board certification purposes may be available in the community at large. Any arrangements of this sort must first be discussed with w88 casino games login’s mentor, who must approve of the arrangement in consultation with the BATC.
Intellectual development
Students are expected to take advantage of opportunities for intellectual development available to them. Opportunities of this sort include departmental colloquia, conferences and receptions for visiting scholars. Students are also expected to present their research and scholarly work at professional meetings or conferences, and to take advantage of these opportunities to become acquainted with the professional community. Travel funds are often available through the Department of Psychology and the Graduate w88 casino games login Association.
Professional service
Professional development also occurs by way of participation in service activities for relevant professional societies, such as volunteering to serve on committees, task forces, and conference organizing committees, newsletter staff and the like. Numerous opportunities of these sorts are available to students by way of faculty involvement in professional societies, special interest groups and committees. Service to the Department of Psychology and the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login, especially in roles as student representatives, is also especially valuable.
Financial literacy
Students are expected to develop financial literacy with respect to the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login and its various entities, and to demonstrate this competence in their professional placement activities and in Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login meetings.
w88 casino games login performance evaluation
Students’ academic and professional performances are evaluated at the beginning of each year according to the w88 casino games login Evaluation System. Students are evaluated in the following five areas: (1) academic performance, (2) w88 casino games login citizenship, (3) research and scholarly activities, (4) professional performance, and (5) professional development. These evaluations result in a permanent product that is signed by both the student and the student’s mentor. Students must provide their mentor at that time of their annual evaluation with a current vita, an (unofficial) academic transcript and a formal w88 casino games login of Study.
All students from their second year forward must provide the following materials to the BATC by the latter part or September of each year: 1) an updated w88 casino games login of Study (available from the Graduate School website); 2) a current CV; and 3) a current transcript.
Satisfactory progress
Maintaining a full course of study, achieving at least a "B" grade in all behavior analysis core courses, satisfactory performance in w88 casino games login-sponsored employment and a sterling record of ethical conduct constitute satisfactory progress. Unsatisfactory performance in graduate courses may result in student’s dismissal from the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login. Please review the Graduate School’s Academic Standing and Dismissal Policy.
If a student has demonstrated misconduct of an ethical sort, continuation in the w88 casino games login may be denied, or graduation delayed, until the BATC is satisfied that the student will be able to function in the future in a responsible and ethical manner.
The Master’s degree is ordinarily achieved in three years, although particular types of research and unforeseen difficulties may result in a longer time to completion. Master’s w88 casino games login will be notified, at the end of three years regarding the recommended timeline for completion of their Master’s degree. Please review Appendix A for details.
w88 casino games login performance evaluation
In order for the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login to show continuous improvement in the accomplishment of its mission, we need to know how well we are doing on critical outcome measures. For this purpose, we maintain and review Key “Dashboard” measures (those required for ABAI w88 casino games login accreditation and others) concerning overall student milestones, research and scholarly productivity and w88 casino games login financial operations. All students and faculty in the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login participate in this w88 casino games login evaluation system.
Financial operations
The Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login operates in part on a self-capitalization plan. This means that the w88 casino games login is partially funded by the entrepreneurial efforts of the faculty and graduate students. Most of the resources for the w88 casino games login, including student support, staff support, equipment, and operations expenses are generated through these efforts. The success and vitality of the w88 casino games login depends on the effectiveness of these efforts.
Financial management
To enable faculty and graduate students to participate in these efforts, the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login operates on a financial management plan. This means that all faculty and students are informed as to the financial status of the w88 casino games login on a regular basis. Graduate students are encouraged to participate in financial analysis, planning and intervention. These are important skills to develop as a graduate student, as financial literacy is becoming increasingly important for professionals in our field.
w88 casino games login funding
Students admitted to the Master’s w88 casino games login, and students who remain in the w88 casino games login, do not receive any guarantee of financial support in any form (e.g., employment, assistance with tuition, fees, etc.). Students may nonetheless receive support by working in one of the programs or projects managed by a core faculty member (e.g., ECAP, PATH). A Terms of Employment form plus several other w88 casino games login employment documents must be signed by the w88 casino games login each year in order to secure this funding.
Domestic students are expected to have established residency in Nevada by the beginning of their second year in the w88 casino games login. Failure to establish Nevada residency will result in the University requiring tuition to be paid at the out-of-state rate. Such rates are not covered by any funding offered by the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login. It is the responsibility of the student to pay the difference between the in-state and out-of-state rates. International students are exempt from the Nevada State residency requirement. Funding guarantees offered by the Behavior Analysis Faculty do not include paying tuition and fees at the out-of-state rate. It will be the responsibility of the w88 casino games login to pay the difference between the in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees.
Before taking (or creating) a paid position in the community, a student must first gain the approval of their mentor and then must submit a written notice to the BATC regarding their plans, including how taking a paid position will affect earning their degree in a timely manner. Students contemplating taking a paid position in the community should know, first, that working in the community for an individual or agency which competes directly with the programs and projects in Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login is discouraged, and second, that there are legal restrictions and regulations governing their activities and the manner in which they represent themselves to the community.

Appendices
Appendix A: Policy regarding course time limits
The Graduate School requirements regarding graduation time limits specify that course work for a master’s degree must be completed within six years preceding the granting w88 casino games login degree.
Time limits ordinarily start once a student begins taking courses relevant to their graduate degree. This is not the only point at which the time limit begins, however. It also applies to courses completed as a graduate special, to courses completed in a previous graduate w88 casino games login, and to courses transferred from another institution. (Credits from a previously completed master’s degree approved to apply to the doctoral degree are exempt from time limits.)
The consequences for exceeding the time limit are that the course(s) in question may no longer be eligible to be counted towards the degree.
The Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login (the w88 casino games login) must abide by the Graduate School policy. The policy gives the w88 casino games login some latitude, however, in recommending to the Graduate School a temporary exception to course time limits on a case-by-case basis. Since the vast majority of students complete their degree requirements well before the course time limit takes effect, exercising this latitude should rarely occur. In other words, timely progress toward graduation is the rule, and students are strongly advised to follow it without exception.
Re-registering for the course(s)
A student may elect to re-register for the course(s) that exceeds the time limit. The effect of this is that the old course(s) will be replaced by the new course(s). A grade of “B” or better must be earned in the new course(s). The preference is to have the student take the course(s) at the University. Other arrangements may be acceptable, including re-registering through the University’s off-campus w88 casino games login or registering at another institution that offers the same course(s).

- Other duties as assigned by BATC to foster the continuous improvement of the BA w88 casino games login.
Appendix C: Policies regarding disciplinary actions
Circumstances warranting disciplinary action
Disciplinary actions taken by the Behavior Analysis (BA) w88 casino games login faculty members with respect to students may pertain to such issues as:
- Failure to remain in good standing. The BA w88 casino games login does not accept any grade lower than a “B.”
- Unsatisfactory academic progress (e.g., failing classes, carrying less than a full
load of credits, inadequate progress toward completion of degree, poor lab
attendance, etc.) - Unsatisfactory performance in a professional placement (e.g., flagrant disrespect
for authority, inappropriate interactions with clients, failing to show up for work,
failing to attend supervision meetings, etc.) - Academic violations listed out in the 6,502: w88 online casino Standards
Please review the Graduate School’s Academic Standing and Dismissal Policy for full policy details.
Disciplinary actions
Actions may include reassignment of professional placement, reassignment of mentor, loss of funding, dismissal from the BA w88 casino games login or other such actions as deemed reasonable and appropriate given the offense. All materials pertinent to disciplinary action (supervisor's claim, student's response, etc.) shall be placed in the student's personnel file. These materials shall be purged from the file only if the claim is found unwarranted and no disciplinary action is thereby taken.
Proposals to initiate disciplinary actions
Proposals to initiate disciplinary procedures against a student shall be brought to the BA w88 casino games login faculty members by the student's supervisor (i.e., the student's advisor or professional placement supervisor), or by another member of the w88 casino games login who has witnessed actions that potentially warrant discipline. The disciplinary action proposed, along with the reasons for it, shall be presented to the BA faculty members in writing. Normally, such proposals shall be presented within two weeks of the alleged offense. Initial consideration of the claim shall be made by the faculty members in the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login in the absence of the student.
w88 casino games login's response to the claim
Some proposals to initiate disciplinary action may not result in action by the BA w88 casino games login faculty members. Should the BA w88 casino games login faculty members elect to discipline the student, however, the student shall be notified in writing. The claim against the student shall be forwarded to the student within two weeks of the BA w88 casino games login faculty’s decision. The student shall be given the opportunity to prepare a statement concerning the allegations made in the claim, and to forward this statement to the BA w88 casino games login faculty within two weeks of notification.
Hearing of arguments
At the first available opportunity, a hearing shall be scheduled to consider the case, at which the student shall be present. Following the hearing, at the first available opportunity, the BA w88 casino games login faculty members shall meet to determine whether or not the proposed disciplinary action, some other action, or no action is warranted. The decision of the BA w88 casino games login faculty shall be made known to the student within 24 hours of this meeting, and the Graduate School is notified. Upon receiving the notification, the Graduate School will conduct further review of the case and appeal process.
Appendix D: Policy regarding w88 casino games login complaints and requests for reconsideration
Students are advised to seek solutions to problems they are encountering first with their advisor, who serves as the student's advocate to the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login faculty. If the student's problem is such that the advisor cannot be approached for solution, the student is advised to discuss the problem with the w88 casino games login Director. In the event that neither of these attempts is successful in solving the problem, such complaints and requests for reconsideration of decisions shall be presented to the Behavior Analysis (BA) faculty in writing for resolution.
Complaints and requests pertinent to individual w88 casino games login
Should such actions pertain to an individual w88 casino games login, the w88 casino games login shall submit a signed a letter to the BATC explaining their case. The w88 casino games login should also indicate whether or not they wish w88 casino games login representatives to have access to these materials.
Complaints and requests pertinent to more than one w88 casino games login
Should such actions pertain to more than one w88 casino games login, the students involved may submit a signed letter to the BATC explaining their case. Students preparing such documents shall indicate whether or not they wish w88 casino games login representatives to have access to these materials. Alternatively, complaints may be presented to the BATC by the students' representatives.
Consideration by the BATC
Prior to consideration of these materials, the individual(s) named in the complaint shall be given access to them, and shall have an opportunity to prepare a response. Thereafter, complaints or requests for reconsideration, along with faculty members' responses, shall be considered by the BATC at the first available opportunity, with or without w88 casino games login representatives present, as indicated in students' materials. Upon consideration of the materials and the faculty member's response, the BATC shall meet in the absence of w88 casino games login representatives to consider solutions to the problem. The outcome of this discussion shall be made known to the students involved, or to the w88 casino games login representatives, in writing, within two weeks of the complaint.
Response to consideration
If w88 casino games login are satisfied with the BATC's response to the complaint, no further action shall be required. If w88 casino games login are not satisfied with the response, further action may be initiated by individual or multiple w88 casino games login, in accordance with University grievance procedures.
Appendix E: Course grades and their consequences
Good standing
To be counted toward a graduate degree, each graduate course must be completed with a grade of “B” or better. Moreover, to remain in good standing in the w88 casino games login, students are required to maintain a 3.0 “B” grade point average in both the core and specialization coursework.
Probation/dismissal
If the graduate grade-point total is 2.31-2.99 the w88 casino games login will be placed on probation and must then raise the cumulative graduate GPA to 3.0 by the end of the following semester or the w88 casino games login will be dismissed from graduate standing. If the w88 casino games login’s GPA is 2.3 or less the w88 casino games login is dismissed from graduate standing, or if the w88 casino games login’s GPA remains below 3.0 of two (2) consecutive semesters, the w88 casino games login is dismissed from graduate standing.
A student may register for and begin a course only two times. A student who has registered for the same course twice and has withdrawn, or received a grade less than a “B”, is ineligible for progression, and will be recommended to be dismissed from the Behavior Analysis w88 casino games login. The student is ineligible for readmission unless approved by the Behavior Analysis Training Committee, and the Dean of Graduate School.
If a student fails (receives less than a “B”) and/or has withdrawn from a combination of two or more courses, they will be recommended to be dismissed from their w88 casino games login of study. The student is ineligible for readmission unless approved by the Behavior Analysis Training Committee, and the Dean of Graduate School.
