POLICY FOR APPIC PROGRAMS
REQUESTING INACTIVE STATUS APPIC allows programs to go "inactive"
when they no longer meet APPIC criteria, such as not having the required number
of interns for the training year or being unable to pay dues due to administrative
restructuring or financial hardship. To initiate inactive status with APPIC,
a program needs to send a letter or email on program letterhead that states the
final date the site will cease training interns or postdoctoral fellows. If
inactive status is requested, programs still need to be a dues-paying member of
APPIC during the time they are training interns or post-doctoral fellows in order
to fulfill their contract with interns/postdoctoral fellows regarding APPIC membership.
It is a condition of membership to be in good standing with regard to payment
of dues while still training interns/postdoctoral fellows. Thus, if a program
requests inactive status during a given year, they will be expected to pay dues
for that year if they are still training interns/postdoctoral fellows during part
of that year. If dues are not paid, it may impact interns' ability to seek licensure
in some states. While programs are inactive, if dues are paid, programs
will continue to receive the following benefits: - APPIC Newsletter
-
Training and Education in Professional Psychology (TEPP) Journal
- Member status
for APPIC workshops and Conference
- Listed in the online and print APPIC Directory
with a note stating: "Site is not training interns through (xx, xx, xxxx)
date."
- Access to APPIC list serves
Important Notice:
Programs that withdraw from the Match in the same year they request inactive status
must submit a letter via email or fax that includes the date current students
will complete their internship. If inactive status extends beyond one year
from the date of notification and the site requests to become an active member
again, the site must submit application materials to the Membership Review Committee
and pay the current year's dues. 30
