Undergraduate Advising

The undergraduate advising team is happy to discuss the details of the Psychology major, Psychology minor, or the Consumer Psychology minor. We can also help with various issues throughout your undergraduate experience, such as course selection, research guidance, and post-college discussions.

Students may meet with any member of the undergraduate advising team.

For College-wide requirements , including general education requirements, course loads, and college policies, please consult your College advisor.

Junior advising

All Psychology Majors have a mandatory Junior Advising meeting in the Fall semester of their Junior year. This is an opportunity for questions, and launching broader discussions about your future. In this meeting, we review your performance in the major, discuss your progress, and consider your future plans.

Junior advising is mandatory. Juniors will be placed on registration hold for the forthcoming Spring semester until after this meeting. This registration hold will be waived only in cases of study abroad during the Fall semester of Junior year. These study abroad students are required to come in for Junior Advising when they return to campus.

Time slots will be posted for Junior advising appointments with Dr. Apicella or Dr. Cooperberg by October 1st.
