Psychology Undergraduate Advising

Advisors are Here to Help You! 

The Psychology Advisors are available to assist you with psychology major & minor requirements, degree audits, academic policies & procedures, research information, course planning, and other psychology-related questions. We're also here to connect you to a variety of campus facilities & resources such as the career center, community centers, disability services, teaching & learning commons, study abroad, and more.

Advising Hours & Location: 

  • Students may use the "Ask a Question" feature within the Virtual Advising Center (VAC) to submit questions to the psychology advisors. Advisor's responses can be found in the student's "Contact Record" area of their VAC. 
  • Our Frequently Asked Questions page has a wide variety of information and will most likely answer your question.
Drop-In Advising is currently being handled in person and via Zoom. 
  • Remote: sign in to your Virtual Advising Center (VAC), select "Meet with Advisor," scroll to "Psychology Dept." and you will be placed in the psychology advisors' queue for a Zoom meeting.

NOTE: During weeks 7 & 8, drop-in advising will be for 10-minute quick inquiries related to major/minor requirements, degree audits, or upcoming quarter planning. Long-term planning or more complex inquiries will not be addressed during weeks 7 & 8.

Current Students: 

  • Please use the "Ask a Question" function in your Virtual Advising Center to ask questions about the psychology majors and minor. An advisor will respond to you within 4-5 business days (note: advisors do not answer VAC messages on weekends, evenings, or University holidays).
  • Sample academic plans can be found on each of our major pages; due to the flexible nature of our majors, we are unable to create individual plans for students. For academic planning, please bring your proposed academic plan to our walk-in advising hours for you and the advisor to review together.

First-Year Students:

  • We will begin meeting with first-year students in week 3 of the Fall quarter. Prior to meeting with an advisor during the Fall quarter, students are required to attend a Psychology Department Orientation session.
