If you have AP General Psych credit that hasn't transferred over fully, please:

1. submit your official scores to the Registrar's Office, and
2. send a copy of your scores (jpeg/image are fine) to Rochelle.Robinson@wwu.edu to request a 200-level course override.

If you have a transfer PSY course from another institution that is showing up as 1XX or 2XX, AND has a name almost identical to a psych course offered at Western, there is a good chance it needs to be evaluated for equivalency by the department. To have a course reviewed, complete the Transfer Equivalency Request Form 

Please note: Transfer credit evaluations from other institutions MUST be completed prior to the start of Phase I registration. This process can take approx. three weeks 

If you need to repeat a course contact Rochelle.Robinson@wwu.edu to request an override code. Please note: Most course repeats occur during summer quarter and/or become available during Phase 3.

297/397 represent temporary course numbers. For example, PSY 297A was the temporary number for PSY 203 Research Methods.

Overrides are required to utilize a temporary numbered course to gain access via pre-req. E.g., An override is required to register for PSY 305 if a student completed PSY 297A vs. s03.

Presently, PSY 397V Culture and Human Development serves as a pre-req for PSY 430 Seminar in Developmental Psychology and will require an override code for registration. Please reach out to Rochelle.Robinson@wwu.edu for all override requests.

Ways to productively fill your schedule:

1. Complete all GURs, including your MATH
2. Complete all PSY 200-levels
3. Complete the 20 upper-division credits required for graduation that the psychology major will not fulfill; these courses might be random or apply to a minor/double major

   • explore potential minor/double major options here
4. Take elective courses that bring your total completed credits, including the 40 remaining upper-division psych major credits, to meet the total 180 credits required for graduation.

In the event that you are already declared in another major/certification program but still intend to minor/major in psych/HD you will run into issues registering for PSY 200-level courses. To bypass these issues:

2. request overrides until you can apply and are accepted to the psychology major
   • please send all course override requests to Rochelle.Robinson@wwu.edu, including reason for needing the override, W#, and specific course CRN
