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.

  • 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 Remotely 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.

  • Sample academic plans can be found on each of our major pages; due to the flexible nature of our majors, we cannot 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.
