Advising

Welcome to the Department of Psychology Advising Office! The Advising Office supports undergraduate students as they establish and realize their personal, academic, and career goals at FSU. Academic Advisors help students navigate and understand university policies and procedures, monitor academic progress and complete degree requirements, make plans to reach their goals, get connected to university resources, and get involved in experiential learning opportunities to build skills and experience.
