III. REGISTRATION

ADVISING

APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY

Advisors play critical roles in your education and training: for advice on courses or dissertation projects, practicum and internship opportunities, or for networking, faculty are an invaluable resource with first-hand knowledge. 

An Advisor should be someone with whom you feel comfortable, and who is knowledgeable and interested in your chosen area of study. Advisors for incoming students are appointed by the program directors.

Every student at GSAPP must have an advisor throughout his or her graduate student career. The advisor reviews your registration each semester, helps you plan your program proposal, and conveys feedback from the faculty concerning your performance.

Students in the school and OP program are assigned core faculty as their advisors and are not ordinarily granted a request to change their advisor.
