The Department of Psychology advising office supports current students with major-specific questions such as:

  • Enrollment questions/concerns regarding the Psychology course
  • Department approval for dual degrees, double majors, and upper-division major changes.
  • Psychology-related research, internships, teaching experience, and senior thesis opportunities.
  • General advice related to graduate school options in psychology.
  • Approval of psychology-related courses taken abroad/at another institution.

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS & SCIENCES, ACADEMIC ADVISING CENTER (AAC)

The Academic Advising Center (AAC) serves all CLAS students and is the place to go for information about non-psychology requirements for your bachelor’s degree such as:

  • Prospective student with admissions questions
  • University/College requirements for graduation (general education, foreign language proficiency, etc.).
  • Universal Tracking and course planning for timely graduation.
  • Explanation of academic holds.
  • Explanation of placement and prerequisites for CLAS courses.
  • Academic probation.
  • Petitions for an exception or waiver of a college/university rule/regulation/requirement.
  • College approval for dual degree, double majors, and major change
  • Transient requests

The AAC advisors are professionally trained and can assist with interpreting your degree audit and advise on your “program plan” concerning majors/minors/certificates, etc. For more information on general UF academic advising, please visit the Academic Advising Center at UF.

It is advisable to have the Academic Advising Center staff conduct yearly academic progression checks on CLAS requirements. Students should also meet with a psychology advisor regarding the progression of psych major requirements.
