Transition Rule: DPsych Students enrolled prior to June 2010

There has been some confusion regarding the exact time point in which Doctor of Psychology students (who were enrolled prior to june 2010) are eligible to apply for endorsement. That is, do students need to wait until after the actual graduation ceremony to apply (usually many months after completing all components of the degree) or do students only need to complete all of their degree before applying.

The PBA provided this response to a DPsych student who was enrolled prior to June 2010:

As you were enrolled prior to 30 June 2010, you are eligible to apply for endorsement once your Doctorate is complete (this includes the thesis being marked). Your academic transcript should indicate that the degree has been completed. You don’t have to wait for the graduation ceremony some months later.

There is no deadline for you to apply for endorsement.
 

The deadline applies to people who completed the Doctorate prior to 30 June 2010.

Note, the above advice only applies to Doctor of Psychology students who where enrolled prior to June 2010. The transition rules for Masters and Combined students are different.
