  • This form replaces emailing the professor directly. Students do not have to contact the instructor.

Note:

  • Permission numbers are not guaranteed for a class where a student does not meet the pre-requisites.
  • Most PSYC courses cannot skip over pre-requisites.
  • Permission numbers will not be granted for the following reasons:
  • PSYC 1100 and PSYC 1101/1103 will not be overlooked for any 2000-level+ PSYC Course.
  • STAT 1000Q/1100Q and/or ENGL 1007 will not be overlooked for PSYC 2100WQ.
  • This form replaces emailing the professors directly. Students do not have to contact the instructor.

Important Notes:

  • If you are planning on declaring one of the majors or minors that requires an Area IV PSYC Lab, please keep in mind that it can take up to one week for the change of major/minor to be processed and reflected on your transcript.
