University Honor Code/Code of Conduct
The University’s Honor Code is a condition of employment, and individuals must adhere to it in order to participate in the pre-doctoral internship.

The University expects that all employees will maintain the behavioral standards of the school, including the Honor Code. These include high standards of honesty, integrity, chastity, morality, and dress and grooming, in addition to abstinence from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, and substance abuse. To review the Honor Code, please go to https://honorcode.byu.edu/ or go to the Honor Code Office website.

Adherence to the Honor Code/Code of Conduct and Dress and Grooming Standards (https://policy.byu.edu/view/dress-and-grooming-standards), is a condition of employment at BYU. Prior to selection as an intern, applicants who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints must have a current temple recommend and receive an endorsement from their ecclesiastical leader. Their current LDS Bishop will be contacted by BYU Employment Services for this endorsement. Formal membership restrictions or withdrawal of church membership or disaffiliation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints automatically results in the withdrawal of the student's ecclesiastical endorsement and the loss of good Honor Code standing. Disaffiliation is defined for purposes of this policy as removal of an individual's name from the official records of the Church.

Applicants not affiliated with the LDS Church will be contacted by BYU Employment Services to appraise their commitment to comply with the Honor Code. If questions arise about this requirement, potential applicants are encouraged to contact the Director of Training of the BYU-CAPS Psychology Internship.

The application deadline for the 2024-2025 year is November 1, 2023.
