• Plan ahead: Add classes to your UAccess Shopping Cart, thereby making it faster to register when your enrollment appointment begins.
• Check enrollment eligibility: Once a class is added to your Shopping Cart, information appears showing whether you meet the enrollment requirements.
• Be prepared: Have backup classes ready in case your first choice is unavailable.

You must have your transcripts evaluated before enrollment appointments are assigned, which means transcripts must be submitted by 3/7/2022. Once enrollment appointments are assigned, they will not be changed.

Contact an academic advisor if you need assistance selecting courses for the upcoming term.

The advising team will continue to primarily offer remote advising via Phone or Zoom until further notice. Appointments can be scheduled with your assigned advisor or you can search all Psychology advisor availability via Trellis.

Dear Students,

I’m excited to share that our PSYPREP events are up and running! In February, we hosted and collaborated with other units on presentations about Resume Writing, LinkedIn, Handshake, Careers in Sales at E & J Gallo, Career Fairs, and How to become a Child Life Specialist.

For March, I’m working on offering the following events: Becoming a Case Manager at the Department of Child Safety, Careers in Marketing, Careers in Human Resources/Recruiting, and Careers in the Insurance Industry. As these events finalize, they will be sent out over the PSYPREP listserv. In addition, I will continue to share events offered by other units as they are relevant.

If you have an idea for an event or want to learn about something specific related to career, professional, and graduate school preparation, please email me directly at christyw@email.arizona.edu. I will see what I can do!
