That depends. Check with the department program advisor on any transfer courses. Some schools, like NEIU, have a separate 100-level introductory course for non majors, and a 200-level general course for majors. Other schools have a single course, of either title, used for both purposes. In the latter, case the course is probably equivalent.

No. PSYC 202 Statistics and Research Methods I, is the prerequisite for the CORE 300 level courses, only -- not the other electives.

Those are apples and oranges. The meaning of a prerequisite is to require, prior to a later course, the acquisition of particular background or preparatory knowledge and skills that will help you do the subsequent higher level work.

No. However, it is recommended. The department does require at least one meeting per year, in addition to the declaration process, between each major and their advisor.

The recent transition between computer systems lost a number of declarations this past year. See the program advisor in S313G and another form will be forwarded to the Records Office.

Check with the instructor on the first day of class. With the large number of students who over book themselves in registration, the only real class count is the number of bodies actually arriving in a classroom. Before the semester begins we have absolutely no way of knowing how many people REALLY are in or want each class.

Because (1) the majority of your major/minor must be done at the school awarding the degree; (2) the majority of the courses must be upper division, research-based, and following prerequisites; and (3) many community college courses, even while often using the titles we use, are really interdisciplinary survey-type views of subject areas, and are not equivalent. However, you have benefitted from getting an overview of a subject, the credit hours do count (as electives to your degree).

That's easy. See your advisor.

Incidentally, for the Spring 1998 term, the psychology department has not placed any "advisor" holds on majors. However, the computer registration system (out of department control) still places system advisor holds on students with less than 30 credit hours. Generally, these are freshmen, most of whom have not yet even declared a major. In some rare cases they have. Whatever the case, you are advised to see a faculty advisor. If you wish to self-advise, simply sign a waiver in the department office and take the full responsibility upon yourself to be aware of all academic/degree requirements, prerequisites, sequencing of courses, professional career preparation, etc., and then go ahead on your own.

"Never?" Did you consult the list of office hours on that instructor's door, or the department office? Make an appointment with your advisor to ensure that he/she is available for your advisement session.

The grade you "need" may be different than the grade you earned. Nevertheless, on rare occasions mistakes may happen. Consult the Student Handbook to learn the steps of the Grade Appeal Process. Be sure you can document and justify your information.
