Default APA-accredited programs under probation

UPDATED 11/4/2012

A post on another thread prompted me to look this up, and it appears a handful of programs are seemingly suddenly under probation for APA accreditation. It makes me wonder if the APA is slowly starting to get stricter.

From the APA website:

Clinical
Alliant International University—Fresno and Sacramento** (PsyD)
(formerly listed as California School of Professional Psychology-Fresno; Alliant International University—Fresno)
Fresno, CA 93727

Next site visit scheduled Spring 2013
**Will be reviewed as two separate programs in 2013


Argosy University, San Francisco Bay Area (PsyD)
(formerly listed as Argosy University, San Francisco Bay Area Campus)
Department of Clinical Psychology
Alameda, CA 94501
May 6, 2003
Accredited, on probation
Next site visit scheduled Fall 2013


The City College of New York, City University of New York (PhD)
Department of Psychology
New York, NY 10031

ETA: Cuny has this note on their website:. I guess the APA is behind on updating their website?

The program has just been informed that it has been fully reaccredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association.

Relatedly, the following programs have decided to withdraw applications for initial accreditation:

APA note on probationary status:
Quote:
An accredited program cannot have its accreditation revoked without first being placed on “accredited, on probation” status. Programs placed on “accredited, on probation” status will be reviewed in no less than 1 and no more than 2 years. This provides the public with notice that the program is not currently consistent with the G&P.
Revocation of accreditation occurs when the Commission on Accreditation (CoA), in its review of a program on “accredited, on probation” status, has evidence that the program continues to be inconsistent with the G&P.
The effective date of the revocation is the date of the CoA meeting in which the decision was made. If the program appeals the CoA's decision to revoke, and that decision is upheld, the revocation will take effect 30 days after the appeal hearing is held. Individuals completing the program after that date are not considered to have completed an accredited program.
