This website is not intended to take the place of seeing a faculty adviser.
If you're a Psychology major, you should see a faculty adviser early in
your career to make sure you're on the right track even if you think you
have everything well in hand. At any point in your career you can get advice from your faculty adviser about course requirements in the programs offered by the department, transferring courses into programs offered by the department, selection of a degree program, interpreting requirements for graduation, making career plans, getting into grad school, and other areas. Students needing assistance with General Education requirements and other non-major graduation requirements should seek advice from the University Advising Center located in the Student Services Hub. Psychology students may select any tenured or tenure-track professor (but not lecturer) as a faculty adviser. Brief biographies can help you select a professor with interests similar to yours. Select an adviser simply by dropping in or calling during office hours, or sending an e-mail message. Phone numbers, offices, and e-mail addresses are listed on the office hour link. Faculty members will schedule appointments outside their regular office hours if you contact them directly; the Psychology Department staff cannot make appointments for you. The Department Chair handles only special problems in advising. You are required to see an adviser only once, two quarters before you graduate, in order to complete a "graduation check." But do see an adviser long before that. |
