Background: The Committee on Early Career Psychologists (CECP) appreciates the opportunity to review the proposed revisions to the guidelines for voluntary withdrawal from APA accreditation. CECP Comments: After review, members of CECP offer one recommendation - please define the acronym “SoA” used in the third bullet point for clarity to all readers. Conclusion: The CECP supports the proposed revisions to support the process of voluntary withdrawal from accreditation with one minor point of feedback.
