Academic Advisement

Academic advisement is handled through the Psychology Academic Advisement Center (PAAC). PAAC is offered to students during selected weeks of each semester for course planning, scheduling and degree progress review. Department faculty are available to meet individually with students during scheduled appointment times.

PAAC is usually operative two weeks prior and during priority registration for each semester. A red banner is hung outside the department office announcing PAAC. The dates for PAAC are posted on the advisement bulletin boards outside the department office. Appointments are scheduled through the department secretaries starting one-week prior to the beginning of advisement. Appointments must be made at least 24-hours in advance. You may come by the main office or call 770-423-6225 to make your appointment.

Students should arrive at their PAAC appointments with a prepared tentative semester course plan. If you are not sure of the courses that you have completed and how they fit into the degree program, you may obtain a printout of your completed courses through the KSU Home Page at www.kennesaw.edu or by making a request to the department secretaries before your scheduled appointment so that you may prepare your tentative class schedule prior to your appointment.

During the PAAC appointment, an advisor will review your tentative schedule with you and answer any questions you may have concerning scheduling and course planning. Students are advised to meet with an academic advisor at least once every academic year to ensure progress toward graduation.

Transfer students are encouraged to meet with the Coordinator of Academic Advisement or the Chair of the Department to review transfer credits for proper placement into KSU’s psychology degree program. Transfer students should meet with the Chair or the Coordinator of Advisement either prior to, or during their first semester at KSU. Subsequent advisement appointments can be scheduled through PAAC.

Two courses require a special admission process. The Field Experience course requires completion of an application and approval for admission into the course. The application form is available below. The Senior Capstone course is the second course that requires special permission for enrollment. This application form can also be found in the listing below.
