Drop-in Psychology Advising
Drop-in Advising is intended to help you address quick (5-10 minute) questions or concerns related to our psychology programs. We do not review student records during drop-ins; questions related to completing your psychology major requirements will be referred to a full appointment or you may request assistance by email to our team at [email protected].
Office Services
The Psychology Undergraduate Advising Office provides opportunities to engage virtually and in person. Our appointments and drop-ins are available in both modalities. As always, we are available by email at [email protected].
