- To be considered an active member of the UMD chapter of Psi Chi, you must attend 4 points (Before Spring 2022: 3 points Required) worth of meetings every semester after you are inducted. Meetings eligible for points include regular meetings, service events and events conducted by the Psychology Department that are co-sponsored by Psi Chi. Members who fulfill these criteria are eligible to receive a Psi Chi honor cord at graduation.
- Honor cords will be distributed at the end of a major semester (Fall/Spring), to graduating Psi Chi active members on a "first come, first serve" basis, due to the limited amount of honor cords. Members who are just shy of active membership will be considered next given honor cord availability.
- If you would like to order an honor cord from the Psi Chi National website, you can follow this link: https://store.psichi.org/international-honor-cord
- If you are studying abroad during a Fall or Spring Semester after you have been inducted, you will be exempt from the point requirement for that semester if you provide Psi Chi with official documentation (transcript) of your studying abroad.
- Please note: Members are responsible for signing the attendance sheet at meetings to document their attendance and obtain points. Psi Chi is not responsible for assigning points to members who do not sign in.
