Ph.D. Residency Requirements
Academic residencies are face-to-face sessions with faculty and academic support staff held throughout the year at various locations.  Ph.D. students fulfill their 20-day residency requirement by participating in two 4-day and two 6-day residencies at appropriate times when they have reached specific Milestones in their academic progress.  Students may choose to attend any of the 4-day or 6-day residencies that are available when they reach each of the four Milestones, or generally one residency a year.  Residency programs for each Milestone are available at every residency. Advanced students can choose to participate in a Professional Conference with Walden faculty to fulfill a 4-day Milestone 4 residency. 

Psychology students in the licensure programs (clinical, counseling, and school psychology) have specific requirements for residency which are related to the Academic Year in Residence (AYR); academic advisors are available to discuss the requirements of the AYR in more depth.

New Students
Residency attendance is expected within 90 days of completing the foundations course.
