How does advising work in PBS?
For First Year Psychology Majors:
First year psychology majors are assigned an advisor in the CNS First Year Advising Center. Check Navigate for your assigned advisor and to make an appointment.
For Sophomore, Junior and Senior Psychology Majors:
Psychology majors are welcome to consult with any of the advisors. You are not assigned to a specific advisor.
