Psychology (PSYCH) course enrollment and overrides

Psychology courses do not have waiting lists, and we do not override enrollment capacity in any course. Students should watch enrollment numbers and enroll themselves when a spot becomes available. Additionally, we do not provide any overrides in the course selection period. 

Please continue to check Quest for the most up to date information on open spots. Note, Quest is most up to date so if the course is labeled as closed’ that means the class is full.
