Psychology Advising 1. Designated Drop-in Hours Start Today Psychology Undergraduate Advising has designated Drop-in Hours during the academic year. During the first two weeks of the term, we have been taking drop-ins all day, but normal drop-in hours take effect this week (week of September 21st). While other units may have advisors available at all times, each advisor in our unit holds drop-in hours once a week and cannot address walk-in issues outside of these. While it may seem like a quick issue (such as signing a research contract), it often takes more time than expected and adds up when considering our large student population. To run efficiently and serve our students best, it is important that we recognize and respect these specified drop-in times. Please see our website for more information on our Office Hours & Availability. Check the Psych Scoop each week for possible change in availability. 2. Psychology Advising Open House TOMORROW!
