two hours per week of direct supervision for each intern. University internship
supervisors must maintain an ongoing relationship with field-based internship
supervisors and shall provide at least one field-based contact per semester
with each intern.
(ix) The internship site shall inform interns concerning the
period of the internship and the training objectives of the program.
(x) The internship experience must be systematically evaluated
in a manner consistent with the specific training objectives of the program.

licensure as a psychologist, the following requirements for licensure may
be applied:
