Academic Advising

As a Psychology student, you have access to a team of academic advisors.

Advisors can help you with:

• Course scheduling (e.g., planning courses to take for upcoming semesters)
• Petitions (e.g., waiving a required course or request for upper-division credit)
• Progress toward degree (e.g., confirming that you have met all requirements for graduation)
• Appeals (e.g., completing an Appeal of Academic Suspension form)
• Referrals to other UIS offices and resources
• Internship possibilities (e.g., Should I do an internship? What internships are available?)

You should meet with your academic advisor at least once each semester to plan courses for the next semester. To schedule a meeting with your advisor, go to Advise U.

Any psychology faculty can also advise on:

• Graduate school counseling (e.g., choosing the right graduate degree and program, the application process, etc.)
• Career counseling (e.g., what job opportunities are there post-BA?)
