General Information About the APPIC Match

 

MATCH ELIGIBILITY

Applicants: APPIC policy states that internship applicants must (a) be enrolled in a doctoral program in professional psychology that requires internship training, and (b) expect to complete practicum experience by the start of internship. Applicants who do not satisfy these requirements may not register for the Match or apply to APPIC-member internship programs. In addition to these requirements, an applicant's academic program has the authority to determine the applicant's eligibility for participation in the Match.

APPIC's policies on student eligibility for Match participation may be found here. Students who do not meet these policies and who wish to consult with APPIC may do so by using APPIC's Informal Problem Resolution process.

Programs: All APPIC-member internship programs are required to participate in the Match. Policies for participation by non-member programs may be found here.

 

MATCH REGISTRATION

Internship Applicants may download registration materials directly from the National Matching Services (NMS) web site.

Internship programs that are APPIC Members will automatically be sent registration materials during the summer. Non-APPIC member internship programs that are interested in participating in the Match must contact NMS directly to request a program registration packet.
