The Psychology Department hopes to make registration an easy process by providing insight and direction to each student who walks through the door. Normally, Freshmen and Sophomores are cleared for registration by Dr. Yvonne Wells, Coordinator of Undergraduate Advising for the Psychology Department. In the Sophomore year, upper level mentor/advisors will be suggested for each student to begin in their Junior year, based on interests and future plans. The upper level advisor will then clear the student for registration and provide any other advising needs. It is important to note that students may seek advising at any time from whichever Professor they feel most connected with, in order to optimize professional and career goals.

The objective of the Psychology Department advising procedure is to increase advising availability and continuity for Freshman and Sophomores, and to allow Juniors and Seniors to connect with faculty advisors who work in their areas of interest. Junior and Senior year advisors can better guide students toward graduate school or other professions after graduation. Juniors and Seniors may also choose to keep Dr. Wells an advisor. Dr. Wells will be a point person for all undergraduates if they have specific questions about courses and course registration. The Chair of the Psychology Dept. Dr. Gary Fireman will also be available should any students seek more mentoring or advising beyond that provided by Dr. Wells and other faculty members.
