Virginia-licensed psychologists have an annual license renewal deadline around the end of June every year
?Let us take a look at the requirements
CE Required: 14 hours per year
Online CE Allowed: 8 hours (6 hours must be interactive)
License Expiration: 6/30, annually
National Accreditation Accepted: APA
Notes: 1.5 hrs in ethics, standards of practice or laws governing the profession of psychology
The American Psychology Association doesn't accredit any wholly online programs, The APA only accredits doctoral (PHD) programs and requires students to spend two or three years on campus (clinical) and complete a full-time residency
Regarding psychology, some doctoral programs around the U.S. do not require in-person interviews or campus visits (see online courses¹ ) so applicants must meet the other requirements after applying online....
Doctoral programs typically require 4 or 5 years of postgraduate work in order to obtain a Ph.D
For transfers up to a certain number of (credit) hours of equivalent graduate coursework can be transferred for either a psychology doctoral program or a psychology master’s program dependent on what the college/department requirements are...
The APA is typically used for in order to find equivalent course requirements
?Does PCSAS have the same rigourious standards as APA when it comes to online courses and or transfer course equivalency?

When PCSAS Accreditation was recognized by Veterans Health Administration in September 2016 I was slightly concerned
At this time I do not support the petition for rulemaking
