CSU Students Who Wish to Change Their Major to Psychology

To change (or explore the option of changing) your major to Psychology, you must schedule a Psychology Major Information Session with an advisor here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904084BAFAC23A3FF2-50444088-psychology. Attending this session is required to make the switch. Questions will be answered during the session and the advisor will give you course recommendations and your advising code if applicable. Advisors will not be available to meet with you prior to this session, but you are encouraged to review Psychology course requirements on the  CSU Catalog and make plans for your schedule/graduation plan accordingly.
