Seeing your Advisor?

Use a Major Requirement Checklist to plan your program for the year ahead and to monitor your progress toward completion of your major or concentration. Always bring a completed Checklist when you meet with your faculty advisor. To give you an idea what a completed form might look like, a sample is provided below.

Web-submittable checklists

The table above provides links to Checklists that you may fill out online and then submit electronically. When you click on the Submit button, you'll receive a web acknowledgement showing all the information you entered. In addition, the same information that is sent to Pamela Jackson in the Psychology Dept. Office will be sent to your email address. If you would like to send a copy to your advisor as well, include your advisor's email address, separated by a comma, after your own on the form.

Web-submittable checklists may also be printed. Print a copy for yourself and/or your advisor after you've entered all information.

If you prefer, you can download a pdf version of the checklist (format 2) and complete it by hand.
