Undergraduate Psychology Frequently Asked
Dual Degree/Double Major Requirements for PsychologyStudents interested in pursuing a Dual Degree/Double Major in Psychology MUST fulfill (earning a passing grade) all 1-5 critical tracking criteria. We are overenrolled in all psychology tracks; therefore, students should submit their request immediately after completing all 1-5 critical tracking courses- it cannot be in progress. If approved, students must enroll in the major during semester 6 and complete major requirements in semesters 6-8. Requesting to add the major with less than 3 semesters left to graduate is subject to denial due to course offerings and limited space.
- See CLAS AAC Information on Dual Degree/Double Majors: Requirements & Eligibility
Please note: Those who delay requesting to add the major but are taking courses for the major are also at risk of being denied due to space in senior-only courses. Students actively enrolled in our major are top priority, so it’s best to be proactive in getting approval. Psych advisors cannot force students into full courses. Students interested in psychology as a second degree aren’t a priority when registering for major coursework.
- Changing Majors in Terms 1-5: Students who want to change to a CLAS major in terms 1-5 must meet with an advisor in the AAC.
- Transfer Students: As an overenrolled program, students must originally be admissible to the psychology program to request departmental support. There are no guarantees that students meeting the admissions requirements will be approved. Students should meet with a CLAS AAC advisor beforehand.
- Changing Majors in Term 6 or Later: The further along a student is, the harder it may be to change majors and progress and graduate in a timely fashion. Students wishing to change to a CLAS major in term 6 or later must meet with an advisor in the AAC.
- Petitions must be sent to psych-advising@ufl.edu. Students should not attend advising Zoom hours unless a psych advisor informs them to do so.
Meet with a Psych Advisor
Psychology advisors are available only through Zoom drop-in sessions (no scheduled appointments). Check our site for available days and times to connect virtually.
Advance Registration Advising (Oct 28th- Dec 4th): During this period, advisors are focused on:

- Spring 2025 Registration
- Psychology major requirements
- Student Petitions
Students seeking psychology course equivalencies for previously taken courses or Study Abroad MUST email. We will not review via Zoom advising.
After December 4th: For assistance with topics such as adding psychology or a non-psychology major as a dual degree/double major, graduation planning, course planning, graduate school guidance, or combined degree inquiries, please email your questions to psych-advising@ufl.edu or plan to attend Zoom advising after December 4th.
Note: Responses will be delayed as we prioritize Fall and Spring semester matters, so please plan accordingly.
Please be aware that Psych advisors cannot remove ANY holds. You must contact college advisors in CLAS AAC.
