Note:

  • Permission numbers are not guaranteed for a closed class.
  • Students will likely be instructed to monitor Student Admin for an open seat in their desired course.
  • This form replaces emailing the professor directly. Students do not have to contact the instructor.

Pre-Requisites

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.

Area IV/Group 4 PSYC Labs

Important Notes:

  • If you are planning on declaring one of the majors or minors that requires an Area IV/Group 4 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.
