Psychology Advising

If you are new to our department (freshman, transfer student, change of major) you will either meet with Jeffrey Nelson or Tracy Ackeret, the Social Sciences Academic Advisors. You can schedule an appointment with Jeffrey or Cassie here. 

As a new student in our department, your Academic Advisor will be Jeffrey Nelson for your freshman and sophomore years. After the completion of your second year, you will be assigned to a Faculty Advisor. Your Advisor is able to help you with a variety of issues, such as course scheduling, degree requirements, class registration, graduation, career advising, and can provide information on potential Graduate Schools. To make an appointment with your Advisor, please contact them directly. If your assigned advisor is unavailable, you may contact another advisor for assistance.
