When to Take Certain Classes

The goal should be to finish the core curriculum as soon as possible, so you can incorporate courses for the minor and foreign language sequence as you work your way through the major.

Freshman Year

Concentrate on completing core curriculum courses.

Before you can take your first psychology class, PSYC 2300 Psychology and the Human Experience, you must first finish RHET 1311 Composition I.
Be sure to take MATH 1302 College Algebra (or MATH 1321) and earn a C or better. This is a prerequisite for PSYC 3435 Statistics & Methods I.

Sophomore Year

Once you complete RHET 1311 and MATH 1302 (or MATH 1321), take PSYC 2300. In your second semester, you are ready to take PSYC 3435 Statistics & Methods I and PSYC 3320 Applied Psychology. Start working on your foreign language sequence courses and choose a minor.

Step 1: How to Get Advised

Below is a guide for the advising process. It may be opened in a browser or downloaded.

Click on the image for step-by-step instructions on the advising process.

Late Advising starts after Regular Advising ends and will continue through the first week of classes. Late Advising has different procedures than regular advising. Students who are advised during Late Advising may be less likely to be able to enroll in courses of their choice and they are more likely to have to join waitlists.

Step 2: Complete and Submit the Course Selection eForm

The Late Advising form can be found here. This form is required for an advising appointment and must include your course selections for next semester. Please use this link to find your courses.

Once submitted, the form will be reviewed by an advisor. If the form is approved you will be sent a link to set up an appointment. If the form requires corrections, you will need to revise and resubmit the form before you can set up an appointment.

If the advising appointment is canceled, for any reason, the Course Selection Form must be resubmitted. The form must be resubmitted even if the appointment is with the same advisor.
