5. Justification (must cite accreditation and/or assessment by the graduate faculty) for new course or course revision or course renumbering:

The graduate faculty of the Counselor Education program met and determined that COAD 6992 must be revised to be aligned with current accreditation and state licensing standards and professional language. It has previously been used as an optional course for students, but will now be a required course for all students. CACREP requires that counselor education students complete 600 hours of professional experience with weekly group and individual supervision. In order to

Note: Before completing this form, please carefully read the accompanying instructions.

remain able to recruit part-time and currently employed students, the faculty met and determined that splitting the required hours of service across two courses offered in consecutive semesters would allow both full-time and part-time students to successfully complete the service requirements dictated by CACREP accreditation. Making COAD 6992 a required course would allow for this plan to be implemented. These changes are also critical for the Counselor Education program to be in compliance with academic requirements for licensure by the NC Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. Consequently, without these changes, our students will not be able to be academically eligible for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor in NC.
