PSYCHOLOGY ADVISING
*****
1.Registration Begins Next Week!Fall 2016 registration begins soon! Be sure to check your MyU account to find the date and time you can begin to register for classes. To prepare for this year's early registration, meet with both your College advisor and your Psychology Major Advisor. Keep in mind that registration is the busiest time of year for advisors, and thus appointments tend to fill up 1-2 weeks in advance.
*****
2.Schedule an Appointment NOW!
If you would like to speak to a psychology advisor about course planning prior to registration, you will need to schedule an appointment. Please be aware that our appointments book out far in advance this time of year. To ensure you are able to meet with an advisor prior to your registration queue, please plan ahead and submit an appointment request at least two weeks before your registration queue time. It is also very important to notify our office if you are no longer able to make a scheduled appointment so that we are able to open those appointment times up to other students.
*****
3.Drop-In Hours--What To Expect
Psychology Undergraduate Advising holds designated drop-in hours for 5 - 10 minute questions. To run efficiently and serve our students best, it is important that we recognize and respect these specified drop-in times and the scope of what can be covered in them. Questions that may be addressed during drop-ins include: research contract signatures, policy verification, and resource referrals (note: some topics in these categories may be unique and require an appointment). If your question takes more than 10 minutes or requires a certain level of preparation (such as determining what you have left in your major), you will be asked to schedule an appointment with an advisor for a later date. This semester's drop-in hours for the Psychology Advisors can be found on our website.
*****
--------------------------------------------
COURSE PLANNING
*****
4.Course Catalog vs. Course Offerings
There are a number of psychology courses being offered in a different term than the Course Catalog and Graduation Planner indicate. Please be aware that, while these tools may provide good estimations for course offerings, courses are not guaranteed to be offered during the term listed in Grad Planner or the Course Catalog. This is especially true for PSY 5xxx level (graduate level) courses. The Class Search should always be viewed as the most up-to-date and accurate resource for when classes will be offered during upcoming terms.
*****
5.What To Do If A Course You Planned To Register For Is Closed
Permission numbers are not available for closed psychology courses. There are only so many seats available in each class, and someone needs to drop in order for a seat to become available. We do not make exceptions to registration policies based on individual circumstances. However, here are some steps you can take to increase your likelihood of securing an open seat:
1) DO register for an alternate course - Because there is no guarantee that you will get into a closed course, it is best to register for another course. That way you can hold yourself a place in a back-up course while you take steps to try to get into your first choice.
2) DO keep checking the registration system for an open seat - There is usually a little fluctuation in course enrollment as people adjust their schedules between now and the start of the term (especially in the week right before the term starts). Check the registration system daily in case a seat opens up.
3) DO attend the first week of class - University policy is that if anyone who is registered for a course does not show up for the first day (without prior arrangement), they forfeit their seat. It is a good idea to approach the instructor right before the class begins to let them know that you are hoping for a seat, in case one opens up. Also, people drop and add classes up through the cancel/add deadlines, so continue to attend class and check the registration system regularly throughout this period.

IMPORTANT: REGISTRATION INSTRUCTION
*****
6.Did You Take A PSY 3801 Equivalent At Another Institution & Do You Plan On Taking PSY 3001W Summer Or Fall Term? 
Are you a declared Psychology major (or Individualized Degree Seeking Student with a declared Psychology concentration) who has successfully completed an approved statistics equivalent to PSY 3801 at another institution? Do you intend to enroll in PSY 3001W Summer or Fall semester? If you meet these criteria, please read on.
Our registration system only recognizes several approved equivalents as meeting the stats pre-requisites for PSY 3001W, and you may be blocked from enrolling in open seats. To increase your chances of securing an open seat for this course, you will need to follow these instructions:
1) Email psyadvis@umn.edu at least three days prior to your registration start time. In the email, provide your student ID number, your registration time, and state that you would like to enroll in PSY 3001W and have taken a PSY 3801 equivalent at another institution.
2) We will respond to your email verifying that you have successfully completed an approved equivalent.
3) You will keep this verification email and respond directly to it a half-hour before you plan on registering. In this response, you must include your student ID number and your top two choices of open 3001W sections (NOTE: there MUST be an open seat in the section for us to provide a permission number).
4) If a seat is available, we will respond as soon as possible with a permission number that you must use promptly.
*****
7.PSY 4993/5993 Research Lab Registration Instructions 
Are you planning to participate in PSY 4993/5993 this Summer or Fall? If so, please note that the registration process for this experience differs greatly from that of standard PSY courses. Please read and follow the registration guidelines outlined on our website to secure an experience and become enrolled.
*****
8.Planning PSY Major Project Summer Or Fall Term?
If you plan to take PSY Major Project (Psy 3901w, 3902w, 3903w) this summer or fall, please check your email for an important message from our department regarding enrollment in this course! To enroll, you will need to meet the prerequisites of:

RSVP to psyadvis@umn.edu, subject: Grad Session Considering graduate school? The University of MN has two clinical master's programs that compliment and build on your Psychology undergraduate degree. Master of Professional Studies in Addictions Counseling--MPS: ADDC (30 credits) - The evolution of substance abuse counseling from an intuitive, layperson endeavor to an evidence­-based practice has been remarkable. Advancements in neuroscience, pharmacotherapy, and clinical practices have expanded the body of research in the field and made it even more critical for counselors to stay informed. The MPS: ADDC provides a rigorous, applied clinical program that meets the up-to-date education and training needs of individuals seeking to acquire Minnesota's Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MNLADC) license. Master of Professional Studies in Integrated Behavioral Health--MPS: IBH (60 credits) - The high prevalence of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders virtually guarantees that counselors, no matter the treatment setting, will encounter clients struggling with not one but two or more disorders. The MPS: IBH merges mental health and substance abuse education and training into a single, comprehensive and cohesive program, and is designed to fulfill education and training requirements for two licenses: the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and the Minnesota Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MNLADC). Intrigued? Join us on Tuesday, April 19 at 12-1 p.m. in N219 Elliott Hall to hear more about these two graduate programs and the exciting career forecast for both. Pizza will be served!
