Other FAQ

Q: Can I have psychology as a minor?
A: No, the psychology department does not offer a minor.

Q: How can I have a dual or double major with psychology?
A. Get a double major form from your college advising office, fill it out, and bring it to the departments that need to sign it.

Q: How do I get a hold on my record removed in order to register?
A. The CLAS Academic Advisement Center removes all holds for psychology majors. The Psychology Advising Office will not be able to remove any holds.

Q: A psychology class that I need to take is closed – can the advising office add me into the class?
A. No. There is no waitlist or reserved seats for courses. Many seats open up during drop/add, so check ISIS frequently during that period. It is also important to attend the class during the first week, even if you are not yet registered, so that you do not get behind. If no seats become available, talk to the professor directly about allowing you to add the course. There are no guarantees, so make sure to have a backup course that you can take instead if necessary.

Q: What do I need to do to avoid a late fee for registration?
A. You will only be assessed a $100 late fee if you have not registered for ANY classes before the drop/add period begins. As long as you are registered for at least one course you will not be assessed a late fee for adding/dropping course during drop/add, or adding any individual work courses onto your schedule.

Q: I am a double major, and when I try to sign up for a psychology lab, it says "missing a pre-req" – what should I do?
A. Being a psychology major is considered a prerequisite for taking a psychology lab. If the computer system does not recognize your primary major as psychology, you will receive that message. If you are sure that you have taken the required prerequisite courses, come in to the Psychology Advising office to have an advisor add you into the lab (if seats are available).
