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. 
  • In-person: the Psychology Advising Office is located at 1533 Mandler Hall.
  • 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.

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.

Return to Required Letter Grading Policy Begins Summer Session 1, 2021

The Psychology Department is no longer allowing flexible P/NP grading for Psych Major or Psych Minor coursework beginning Summer Session One 2021 and forward (including Fall 2021). The last quarter for flexible grading options was Spring 2021. Beginning Summer 2021, we will revert to our usual grading requirements as outlined on our web pages - psych majors: statistics and all upper-division major courses must be letter-graded and psych minor courses.
