Undergraduate Research Conference Web Links Students interested in becoming psychology majors should see the chairperson of the Psychology Department who will make a decision on each student's request for admission to the department. Upon approval, the student's academic records will be kept in the Psychology Department's main office, Thompson W357. Although advisement is required only during preregistration periods, the department encourages students to meet with their advisors as often as they feel necessary.
Faculty members are available during office hours to give advice on academic matters.
Faculty office hours are posted on faculty members' bulletin boards. If at any time you cannot reach your advisor or you feel that your advisor is unable to help you, you should see the chairperson of the department who will be glad to assist you in solving the problem or assigning you a new advisor. To aid in advising, faculty members have academic progress outlines which indicate students' progress through the departmental and college programs and allow the advisor to quickly notice any problem that might develop concerning the student's academic situation. It is recommended that students continually update their copy of the academic progress outline included in this booklet and bring the outline with them to meetings with their advisors. Remember that advisors are there to help you meet all college and departmental requirements in the most academically sound manner possible.
