Advisors

This page is no longer being updated. Relevant advising information will be shared each semester under the News and Events, Highlights link in the right-side menu.

 

All students at Eastern have one faculty advisor and some students also have a professional advisor within the Advising Center. Only faculty advisors are able to give students their registration codes. Plan ahead so that you can communicate with your faculty advisor before your registration date and time.

Please note that all department faculty email addresses are available in the department directory. On the right side of this webpage, Faculty/Office Hours is the very top link. Clicking that will bring you to the list of faculty and their email addresses so that you can reach out to your advisor for help.

The registration dates for this semester are available under News and Events.

 

See https://www.easternct.edu/academics/academic-calendar/index.html for other important dates.

Your Faculty Advisor

If you are a psychology major, your faculty advisor is probably a faculty member in the Psychological Science department. If you are an individualized major, or have multiple majors, your advisor may not be in the Psychological Science department. You should consult eWeb (the same system that you use to register for classes) to determine who your faculty advisor is. If your faculty advisor is not in Psychological Science but you need to take psychology courses (second major, minor, individualized major, etc.), you should have a faculty mentor within the department that you can speak to for advice about courses.

Changing Concentrations and Advisors

Students are able to switch their advisor or their concentration, but the correct procedure must be followed.

  • To change your advisor, simply fill out the form that is linked to on this page: https://www.easternct.edu/registrar/forms/majors.html. The department chair's signature is required.
  • To change your concentration, the department requires that you print the form linked on this page: https://www.easternct.edu/registrar/forms/majors.html and visit any of the faculty members who teach in the concentration you want to switch into (see list below). The purpose of this visit is to determine your personal and career goals and determine whether that concentration and its requirements are a good fit for your interests. If the faculty member approves of you changing your concentration, they will initial the form to indicate that this consultation has taken place. You will then need the department chair's signature before submitting the form to the Registrar.
