Undergraduate Advising

There are many opportunities for undergraduate psychology majors to receive advising.

1. Each student is assigned a faculty mentor upon entry to the program. This mentor is available for consultation on career plans and research opportunities.
2. The Psychology Peer Advisors are available nearly every day and provide assistance for a variety of problems from how to sign up for a practicum to course scheduling to advice on the GRE and getting into graduate school. They are located in room 141 Straub.

3. The head undergraduate advisors are pbirrelluoregon [dot] edu (Pam Birrell), and ayeeuoregon [dot] edu (Alicia Yee) who are available for all academic advising: evaluating transfer work, setting up practicum opportunities (Alicia), and general trouble-shooting.
4. Spring Term 2012 office hours for Pam and Alicia are as follows:
   pbirrelluoregon [dot] edu (Pam Birrell) / 205 Straub Hall:  Monday 12:00-1:00; Wednesday 11:30-1:30; Friday 10:30-12:30
