Undeclared Illinois Students

Click here for information about how to declare BCOG or Psychology majors.  Remember, the declaration criteria requires "completed" courses, not in-progress.

While you don't have access to our appointment calendar, please reach out to us at psych-advising@illinois.edu.   

Contact us with specific major/minor related questions, but please avoid:

  • Using the LAS Student Academic Affairs Advising Calendar for questions about PSYC/BCOG
  • Using LAS's drop-in advising for questions about PSYC/BCOG
  • Reaching out to individual (multiple) advisors with questions 

You will get the quickest response by using psych-advising@illinois.edu.
