Honors Advisors

There are also two faculty Honors Advisors, Prof. Kevin Ford and Prof. Juli Wade.  All Honors College members should meet with one of them.  More information about the Honors Program and Honors advising can be found in the Honors section on the left-hand menu. 

Role of Advisors

The undergraduate advisor’s primary goal is to help undergraduate students with matters pertaining to academic progress issues and life plans. While you are responsible for understanding University, College, and Department requirements, advisors can provide current information about requirements, options, and procedures. The advisors recommend that you review your requirements with them at least once a semester. You should understand, however, that you bear ultimate responsibility for knowing and fulfilling graduation requirements. Stop by the undergraduate office periodically to check the bulletin board for announcements and to borrow relevant materials from the Undergraduate Lending Library. The Psychology advisors want to assist you in preparing a solid undergraduate experience. Make sure you get to know them! 

Scheduling an Appointment 

The Psychology advisors post their available advising times 2-3 weeks in advance. We ask that you schedule your advising session a few weeks in advance to be sure to get an appointment. Occasionally during peak times, advisor's appointments will all be full. If this is the case, no appointments will appear on the system. If you need to see an advisor within a week, please utilize the walk-in hours. You can also check regularly for any cancellation or new openings. You can schedule an appointment with an advisor by logging into the advisor scheduling system at: https://ntweb11.ais.msu.edu/l1101/student/applogin.asp

Walk-in Advising 

Walk-in advising is available every afternoon (M – F) from 1-4 in 100 Psychology Building.  There may be additional hours announced on the front page of the Undergraduate website.
