Upon approval of an Licensed Psychologist (LP) application, first-time applicants will receive a non-renewable license as a Licensed Psychologist with Provisional Status, valid for 2 years from the date of approval. This provisional status allows an individual to complete the require post-doctoral supervised experience and passage of the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). For those first-time applicants who have already passed the EPPP and have completed the supervision requirements, staff will skip the provisional status step and automatically issue a full LP license.
Following passage of the EPPP and completion of the post-doc supervision, Provisional LPs must submit the Request for License Issuance application and supporting materials showing completion of the license requirements. If approved, applicants will be granted full LP license.
