ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• 3/27/2012   To all students considering switching into or adding our MAJOR:
  We have a new policy regarding major changes. We will only sign major change forms during one week of each semester. If you're interested in entering into our major, you MUST attend one of three orientation sessions, which will take place the second or third week of September. For more information, please see the Information for Prospective Students page.
• 3/27/2012   Web drop/add period:
  Web drop/add will open on April 21 and close May 11.  Please note that the ONLY way to add a class when it is full is to regularly check the timetable and wait for another student to drop the course.  Also note that psychology minors DO NOT have access to majors-only sections; if you are a minor, you need to click on ALL of the Timetable CRNs and find sections that are not major restricted.  For almost all 2000- and 3000- level psychology courses, there are more 'open' sections than major restricted sections.
