Advisement

Grad Checks: If you are planning to graduate in June 2004, you will need to complete a graduation check during the Fall 2003 semester. You should apply for a grad check no later than the end of this current semester by filing an application at the cashier's office, UH-180. In a few months, you will receive a white and a gold copy of paperwork in the mail. Once you receive these forms, sign up for a grad. check appointment with a faculty advisor (yellow time slots) in the Psychology Dept. Undergraduate Advisement Office, H-507. Bring the forms with you to the appointment. Once the Psychology advisor has competed the forms and you return them to the university at LH-108, the grad check is complete.

Students on academic probation have received a letter from the Dean’s office. If you are on probation, you must now make an appointment for academic counseling with either a faculty or a student psychology advisor. The appointment is necessary to remove a hold on your ability to register for summer school or for Fall 2003. Sign-up sheets for appointments are posted outside H-507 on the bulletin board to the left of the door.
