Tips for Registration
Due to the popularity of our courses, getting into Psychology courses can be challenging. For this reason, we suggest three things:
- Register via CUNYfirst, as early as you possibly can.
- If a course you want is closed, search for and seriously consider alternatives.
- Do not assume you can be over-tallied into a closed course just because your graduation will be otherwise delayed.
“Senior Majors”(over 90 credits) receive priority for Psych 213W and Advanced Experimental courses:
Policy on double-registrations for Advanced Experimental Psych 311- Psych 321
Please do not register for multiple Advanced Experimental (AE) courses. We will check for double registrations and when we find students registered for two AE courses, we will drop them from both without contacting them. You cannot ’save seats.’ The penalty for doing so is being dropped from both and put at the back of the queue.
Class Format
Students are advised to check the course format, including class notes, very carefully when registering. Psychology dept has returned to primarily in-person instruction and will offer only a limited number of online-only courses. Psychology Courses will be offered in the following formats:
- In Person: All required class meetings occur on QC campus, during scheduled class meeting times.
- Online synchronous: This course will be completely online but will include real-time synchronous lectures/discussions with students. Students must commit to scheduled class times. All meetings will be done virtually, at the date and time scheduled in CUNYFirst.
- Online asynchronous: This course will require the student to engage in self-guided instructions scheduled by the instructor and will not include live lectures. Asynchronous class meetings do not require you to log in to your virtual classroom at a specified time.
- Online Mix: Classes offer a combination of online synchronous meetings and asynchronous online work.
- Hybrid: Hybrid courses will involve both in-person and online/remote participation and the in-person participation is mandatory. The relative proportion of in-person and remote is determined by each individual course depending upon what is appropriate for teaching that course.
- Hyflex: Some in-person courses may have a Hyflex (hybrid flexible) option, allowing students to choose their format (in person or online synchronous). Courses with this option will be noted in the schedule of classes.
