When to schedule an appointment:

  • Changing your major to Psychology
  • Adding Psychology or another major as a double major
  • Minor petitions to be signed if you ARE a PSC major (other majors with PSC minors may drop in)
  • Need a degree check
  • Need an academic plan
  • If you are on academic probation or have been disqualified and are working with a dean's office counselor to be readmitted and need an academic plan (green form) or have a “pass through” form
  • If you have an athletic plan form
  • If you have questions about your record that may take some time for discussion
