Enrollment
Any questions regarding issues enrolling in Psychology courses should be directed to the Psychology Undergraduate Program Coordinator, Diane DeSimone (Diane.DeSimone@stonybrook.edu). Emails must include your Stony Brook student ID number.
Stony Brook Curriculum (SBC) Requirements
Some SBC requirements will be fulfilled by Psychology major core courses. To see the overlap between Psychology major courses and the Stony Brook Curriculum, see the Undergraduate Bulletin.
PSY 310: The most common path for students within the Psychology Major to fulfill the ESI, SPK, & WRTD requirements is through PSY 310: Research and Writing in Psychology (taken during your Senior Year).
Psychology Repeatable Courses
Psychology special topics courses note in their descriptions that they “may be repeated as the topic changes.” You may repeat such courses within those restrictions and receive credit each time as long as the topic is different.
Example: You can take 399.03 (Child Maltreatment) even though you're currently taking 339.03 (Schizophrenia Spec. Disorders) this semester and receive credit for both since they are different topics.
Psychology Course Retakes
Please note the University’s retake policy on the Undergraduate Bulletin:
- Students taking a course for the second time will need to wait until the retake registration date to enroll, pending seat availability at that time. Dates can be found on the University Academic Calendar.
- You are not allowed to retake a Psychology course for a third time.
- If you have failed a required course for your Psychology major & need to take the course a third time; meet with an advisor to discuss options for taking the course elsewhere.
