What is the advantage of officially “declaring” that I am a psychology major?
Once you officially “declare” your major to the secretary of SSHS and the Registrars Office, you will be assigned to a psychology advisor who can answer any questions you have about the major and help you choose your courses. (In addition, once you have officially declared your major, your online Oncourse Audit will indicate which major requirements you have completed and which courses are still outstanding.) You will also receive any notices or mailings that go out to psychology majors, and you will automatically be considered for any awards, honors societies, or scholarships available to psychology majors. You will not be allowed to graduate until you have declared a major and fulfilled its requirements. It is generally recommended that students declare their major before they have completed 45 credits of college work.
