The Department of Psychological Sciences has a set of advising procedures in place to empower all majors with the knowledge necessary to graduate with their degree. Please consider the information provided here to ensure you understand the process.
Please verify that there are seats available in the courses you select. If not, please indicate whether you will join a waitlist. Also, consider listing alternative courses in case you do not get a seat in your preferred course. If so, please indicate in the notes which courses you are considering as alternatives.
Late advising will begin Thursday, May 14. Please watch your university email for additional instructions and information.
The drop-down menu and headings below will guide students through the steps of the advising process.
