The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is due at least three months preceding the term for which you are applying. Completing your taxes before filing your FAFSA helps to ensure accuracy and speed of processing. You may submit the FAFSA closer to your start date, but processing may be delayed.

The Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology programs at Anaheim, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. have a rolling admissions process. Students are notified of acceptance shortly after the interview. Admitted students must make a deposit to retain a spot in the program. Students are required to deposit by April 15 to secure their place; after this date, offers are based on availability. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early, as space in the program is limited.
