All MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling students are required to purchase a student membership with the American Counseling Association (ACA) by the end of their first quarter in the program. The membership costs $105 per year and includes student liability insurance, which is necessary for providing counseling services in the United States during the course of the program. Proof of ACA membership must be submitted in your Professional Orientation class. Failure to meet this requirement may affect your ability to engage in clinical training and other program-related activities.
