Dissertation Boot Camps
Information on Fall 2021 Boot Camp coming soon. If you have any questions about Boot Camp, please contact Dr. Theresa Lindsay at tlindsay1@twu.edu.
The application process
- Applications will open October 1 (Fall) and March 1 (Spring). An email announcement will be sent to all TWU currently enrolled graduate students. The announcement will contain a Psychdata application link.
- Completing an application does not guarantee a seat.
- Space is limited.
- Preference is given to participants who have not attended a previous Boot Camp.
- We normally notify all applicants of their status via email on the first Monday of November (Fall) and April (Spring). If we are unable to accept you, we can place you on a waiting list, and will notify you of any spaces that become available by the Friday before camp.
- If selected, confirmation of attendance is required within two weeks of notification. If you are accepted and cannot attend, let us know immediately.
- It is strongly recommended that you will complete the Pre-Boot Camp Survey to help us better serve you.
