Advising in Psychology

Students who have declared psychology as their major field of study will be assigned an advisor within the department of Psychology.
  • If you have been assigned an advisor, but don't remember their name, you may find it listed in your student folder located on the web.
  • If you have not yet been assigned to someone on this list of advisors in psychology, or if your folder indicates that your advisor's code in invalid, go to Hill Hall 313 and ask to be assigned.

Advising Honors Students

Honors College students do not go through the departmental advisement process. You are assigned an advisor by the UHC Office. Drs. Bender and Lutz are currently the two main Honors Advisors. Dr. Shoptaugh also takes some Honors Advisees. You should see your advisors immediately and frequently. Your advisor will have a great deal of valuable information about the requirements of the Honors College, the Psychology degree, and other opportunities. You will most likely stay with your assigned advisor for your Freshman and Sophomore years. After that, you may wish to transfer to an advisor whose training more closely matches your professional goals.
