Changes as of Fall 2003
**Major Application Procedure Changes**
Beginning Fall 2003:
Overall GPA must be at least 2.25
If you have already been accepted to the major in Spring 2003 or earlier, this
change will not apply to you. But, if you are put on probation or disqualified
you will be dropped from the major and will have only one more opportunity to
apply.
Psy 301 required to remain a major
You will be required to take (and pass with a grade of "D" or better) Psy 301
(Psychology as a Discipline and Profession) during your first semester as a
major. If you don’t you will be dropped from the major, and will have only one
more chance to apply again.
Major status required for registration
Students with 60+ units must have a major in order to register for the current and subsequent semesters' courses. If you are still a pre-major with over 60 units and don’t qualify to apply yet, you should change over to another major that is not impacted. This will only be a temporary change. Once you do qualify, you should apply to the major ASAP!
**Transfer Students**
Beginning Fall 2003:
You must indicate psychology as your major on the application for admission
to the university. There will no longer be a pre-major status for transfer
students, but:
You must have completed
Psy 100, 110, and 200 with a C or better. You should check the
department handbook listing to see if your school has courses
equivalent to these. If your school doesn’t have an equivalent, you should
try to take the courses at another nearby college that offers them OR you
should contact us.
You must take - and pass -
Psy 301 during your first semester at CSULB. If you don’t you will be
dropped from the major and will have only one more chance to reapply.
Your Overall
GPA must be 2.25 or above.
**Attention Psychology Minors**
Beginning Fall 2003:
New Lower Division Course Requirement: Psy 141
Psy 141 (Psychobiology) is now a prerequisite to your upper division course options, so you will need to take it anyway.
Upper Division Unit Requirement Reduced
Due to the addition of Psy 141 to the lower division requirements, the upper division unit requirement has been reduced from 12 to 9 units.
