DEGREE REQUIREMENT CHECKLISTS FOR PSYCH MAJORS
- Degree Requirement Checklists and Course Sequence Information
- Changes to the Psych 492 Requirement (June 2008)
- Changes to the 'Advanced Psychology' Course Requirements (July 2008)
Students are responsible for all email that is sent to the official UW email address. Check e-mail regularly for important and time sensitive messages. See "Official Student Email Address" for further details (e.g., procedures and warnings regarding forwarding email to other accounts).
Psychology Majors are sent bulk e-mail messages from the Psychology Undergraduate Office frequently via the Psychology Undergraduate Student E-Mail List. The mailing list is created from the e-mail information that students provide on their 'Applications for the Psychology Major'. The UW e-mail address is strongly preferred for the mailing list for delivery reliability and security of messages, as well as to eliminate the necessity for you to inform Heather Smith of any alternate e-mail addresses if you choose to redirect your e-mail to another account (see below for details).
An appropriate forwarding capability for e-mail is provided on the UW Directory (WatIAM) so that students may, if they so choose, redirect e-mail from their UW e-mail account to an alternate account. Students are responsible for monitoring the contents and condition of the mailbox to which they have forwarded their UW e-mail. If you are using free web accounts such as hotmail or yahoo (these are not as reliable and secure as UW e-mail), please keep the number of messages in your 'in' box to a minimum in order to minimize the number of 'undeliverable messages' to your account. The University is not responsible for messages that you don't receive.
Please include your full name and ID number on all e-mail messages sent to UW personnel.
