Overview
The GCAP courses are created with the distance student in mind and are offered primarily online, in summer institute format, or as field placements with weekend seminars. Students are able to take advantage of the flexibility of the program design to integrate graduate studies into their career paths. The GCAP courses are all offered in a paced delivery model (fixed start and end dates) to provide opportunities for shared learning and interaction. Innovative learning technologies are employed to facilitate discussion, collaborative projects, presentations of student work, and so on. To facilitate the integration of theory and practice, work-based assignments are encouraged, particularly in the option courses. The mode of delivery of these courses depends on the areas of specialization. All are designed to accommodate distance learning, although some additional institute or weekend seminars may be involved.
All GCAP courses are open to non-program students.* You may apply to take a maximum of two courses as a non-program student. Courses taken as a non-program student may then be applied towards a Certificate or Masters degree if you choose to apply to one of these credentials at a later time. You may not use GCAP courses, however, to raise your grade point average (GPA) as part of your formal program application or to meet program prerequisites. Individuals wanting to take more than two courses should consider applying to take one of the certificate programs, which can be tailored to meet your needs.
*Only students currently registered in a graduate program in counselling or applied psychology at a recognized institution and obtaining permission of their home institution and GCAP may be considered for a practicum as a non-program student.
