Camp HOPE America is the first camping and mentoring initiative in the United States to focus on children exposed to domestic violence. Pathways makes up the year-round mentorship component of CHA. Camp HOPE America serves as an effective system-level intervention where trauma exposed children are provided the opportunity to develop positive coping mechanisms that will allow them to thrive in the future. Please watch this video to hear a few words from their founder, counselors, and campers and really get a feel of their world.

All of the magic during their week of camp and the year-round activities wouldn’t be the same without the participation of HOPE Counselors. HOPE Counselors serve as cheerleaders for youth and aid immensely in our goal to end the cycle of violence and change the destinies of youth exposed to trauma. One week can have an unbelievable and significant impact on a child’s life in regards to self-esteem, emotional stability, confidence, and academic performance. Please watch this video to learn about some of the counselors and campers very own HOPE Stories.

By now you have seen the signs for Early Registration (ER), but you may not know that ER could result in you being dropped from some classes in psychology after you register. The PSY advising office wants to ensure you know the consequences of ER so you can stay on track to graduate!

First, you have to pay tuition and fees or have financial aid, deferment, or a payment installation plan set up prior to registration. See Student Account Services for more information (http://bfa.sdsu.edu/financial/student/). You must also have all holds removed, e.g., WPA hold, before you can register.

Second, you must meet any computer-enforced prerequisites for PSY classes by the end of Spring term in order not to be dropped from those classes. In other words, although you may register for any upper division PSY courses in April, the computer will drop you from such classes after spring if you have not met all impaction criteria by May 17th. The Registrar’s Office has made clear that no exceptions will be made.

There are 3 requirements that are computer-enforced in PSY: major status, junior status, and eligibility to take an upper-division writing course (after taking the WPA exam).

Major and junior status restricted courses (offered in Fall): PSY 301, 331, 332, 344, 380 and 410

(360 and 361 are also restricted, but not offered in Fall)

Junior status restricted course: PSY 319, 370

Courses restricted to students eligible to take UD writing course: PSY 301, 410

Note that other upper division courses in PSY often have requirements that are enforced by faculty during the first week of fall classes (e.g., completion of PSY 101, 230, 211, or 260). You must complete faculty-checked prereqs before August 27th.

Join us for this years Honors Thesis Forum! For more information please see the details below.

We are happy to announce that Psy 496 Forensic Psychology will now be offered in the Fall where as before it was only offered during Summer sessions. We hope you take advantage of this great opportunity!

You are cordially invited to participate in the Psychology Recognition Ceremony (PRC) in Montezuma Hall the morning of May 12th. The PRC is a graduation ceremony offered exclusively to Psychology students graduating in Spring or Summer 2018. The PRC offers a more intimate environment as it highlights students’ successes solely within the major. For the PRC there is no limit on the number of tickets a student may purchase, making it a more suitable option for larger families. Visit the “Graduation 2018 Ceremonies” tab on Blackboard PSY major homeroom for more information.

Wondering how to obtain tickets for the 2018 Psychology Recognition Ceremony? Here are 3 easy steps.

PSY 365 will now be offered ONLINE over SUMMER!
