Graduate School Links
Marquette University Graduate School has two pages that you will find useful. One contains most if not all of the forms you will need as a graduate student, and the other is for new students.

Graduate Student Handbook
The following link is to the Graduate Student Handbook and appendices. The handbook is updated regularly. While it is not necessary to print the handbook, you should refer to it regularly for information about classes, research requirements, regulations of the university and the school, how to file grievances, and other useful information. The appendix contains most if not all of the forms that the program requires you to complete throughout your tenure here.

Documenting Practicum Hours
When you apply for internship (in your fifth, sixth or seventh year), you will be asked to provide highly detailed information about the patients you have seen over your tenure in the clinical program. The Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) has adopted a standardized application form. One part of the application contains definitions of practicum hours, and another part requires the detailed information about practicum experience.
Dr. Gina Owens and Dr. William Stillwell at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) developed and share the Practicum Hours Data spreadsheet for recording and for reporting on practicum hours, which can be downloaded here. The practicum hours record form has two separate Excel spread sheets. The first file contains the practicum hours spread sheet for two semesters worth of practicum hours. The second file contains a weekly narrative spread sheet. Most of the headers are those which we have found to be useful in completing the APPIC application forms. We suggest that you use this weekly narrative spreadsheet on a weekly basis.
Briefly, the spread sheet is set up for 21 columns as follows:
* the first column of the spread sheet follows the categories on the APPIC form. The category headers are bold and follow the outline of the APPIC form;
* the second column is entered by the student at the beginning of the semester and is the "previous cumulative total site hours". Usually, this column will contain the value "0". However, when a student is continuing at the site for a second semester, this column will contain the total site hours from the previous semester;
* the third column is the total practicum hours for the semester;
* the fourth column is the total practicum hours for the site. As you enter the data for each week, the spreadsheet formula sums the hours in columns three and four;
* the fifth through 21st columns are the data entry fields.
