We recommend you watch this overview of departmental advising (Psychology):
Psychology major advisors generally provide guidance with:
- Changing to a Psychology Major (PSYC BA) [or adding 2nd major]
- Adding a Psychology Minor (PSYC or Human-Systems Integration)
- The Psychology Honors Program
- Reviewing MyºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø MyAcademics "progress toward degree" output
- Using non-ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø courses to meet psychology major/minor requirements (including study-abroad, CLEP, AP, etc.)
***NOTE: for General Education (GE) advising or non-Psychology requirements you should contact the relevant department or the College of Social Science Student Success Center.
HOW TO GET ADVISING:
1. Meet In-Person or Online (via Zoom) with a Psychology Major Advisor
To meet with an advisor, scroll down to see their availability and use the links by their name to make an in-person or online Zoom appointment. You may also visit during their drop-in hours without an appointment.
***NOTE: Summer is drop-in or email only. Fall/Spring appointments are made via Spartan Connect. If you have not used Spartan Connect before, see this (requires an ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø email; the appointment confirmation will provide the zoom link if online)
2. Email Advising
Students may also email an advising question to:
Advising-Psychology@ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø.edu
- If you wish to email a specific advisor, put their name in the subject line (Subject: Dr. Chancellor-Freeland – [topic of email])
- Please DO NOT send emails to the advisors’ individual email addresses. All emails
should be sent to the general advising address: Advising-Psychology@ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø.edu
