Because of the popularity of the Department, we have established our own preregistration procedure, which allows psychology majors to register for some psychology courses before the regular college registration process begins.

In order to be sure you get the classes you need and the classes you want, there are several things you should do:

1. See your academic advisor. Make an appointment early. The time just preceding preregistration is often a very busy one, and you should not expect that your advisor will be available if you do not make an appointment in advance.

2. Attend the Psychology Department General Advisement Meeting. This meeting occurs before pre-registration each semester. At it, departmental requirements are reviewed, faculty are introduced, information is presented about planning your schedule, and materials for the departmental preregistration procedure are presented. Watch your e-mail and departmental bulletin boards for announcements about this meeting, and be sure to attend.

3. Participate in the departmental pre-registration procedure. That procedure allows psychology majors to be placed in psychology courses before the general college registration process begins. Be sure to fill out and submit the request forms before our departmental deadline, because this can greatly increase your chances of getting into the courses you want.
