applicants to Psi Chi:
- Must be enrolled as
a graduate student at your school in a psychology graduate program
- Must have
established a GPA at your school
- Must have an overall
GPA of at least 3.00 on a 4-point scale in all graduate courses,

** Graduate students who have transferred to a new institution and are
interested in becoming a Psi Chi member must complete one semester at
the new institution to establish a GPA in addition to the above
requirements.
Undergraduate or graduate students transferring to a new institution who
are already a Psi Chi member may transfer their membership to the new
institution's Psi Chi chapter by making contact with the Psi Chi faculty
advisor, completing a Transfer
of Membership form, and having the advisor sign and forward the
transfer form to the Psi Chi National Office.
Psi Chi chapters may not impose any type of service activity as
a condition for membership in Psi Chi—membership eligibility is
based on academic performance.
Psi
Chi chapters may use more stringent academic criteria for
membership than those required in the Psi Chi Constitution, but they cannot
use lower academic standards than those required in the Constitution.
