Undergraduate Advising

Declaring a Psychology Major (or Minor):

• To Declare a Psychology Major: You can declare the Psychology major online at the CLAS Online Program Change.
  • NOTE: If you submit for the Psychology major during pre-registration in any semester (mid-March until early- April; and mid-October until early- November), your submission should be approved by CLAS, but your major will not be officially changed until after pre-registration is over.
• To Declare a Psychology Double Major or Psychology Minor: see the Undergraduate Program Assistant in Room 100A.

Meeting With Your Advisor:

• 1st-4th Semester Psychology students will be automatically assigned to the academic advisor, Greg Champion. Appointments may be made online HERE.
• Students in their 5th semester must be reassigned to a Psychology faculty member who will serve as their advisor through the completion of their program. Please see the Undergraduate Program Assistant in Room 100A to complete this assignment.
  • Before being assigned to a Psychology Faculty advisor, students should watch this brief screencast.
• Students must fill out the Student Data Sheet and bring it to see Kelsey Keefe in BOUS 186D to complete the faculty advisor assignment.
