Advising

Students are required to read the Hunter Catalog for the most accurate information about prerequisites and the curriculum. Students are encouraged to speak with a psychology advisor at least once a semester. Please note, if a student is dropped from (a) course(s), it may jeopardize any financial aid awards for the current and subsequent semesters. Students are encouraged to speak with their primary advisor in the Advising Services located at Hunter East, Room 1119 to confirm financial aid compliance.

All visiting (non-matriculated / non-degree) students must bring printed copies of all relevant transcripts from previous colleges when meeting with an advisor.

The pre-requisites for all courses are firm and must be met in order to be granted permission. The college mandates departmental consent for any and every class a visiting student wishes to enroll in, regardless if the pre-requisite has been completed in residence. Permissions are granted over e-mail - please write to psychadv@hunter.cuny.edu for assistance with registration.

Please refer to the Hunter College Catalog for more information on Psychology courses.

Senior auditors are allowed to audit any class ranging from 100 to 300-level, with the exception of PSYCH 248 and PSYCH 250. Enrollment as an auditor is based on seat availability. 

Senior auditors must work directly with the Office of the Registrar for class placements. Visit Hunter North, Room 217 for more information.
