PSYCHOLOGY
This document is a tool approved by the department as a complete and accurate checklist for 2015-2016 Catalogue. Students who
are meeting requirements with other courses than listed below must ask their advisor to file the waiver/substitution form
(http://www.cornellcollege.edu/registrar/gb-resources-faculty). Students are expected to complete the major and minor
requirements that were in effect at the time of Spring registration for their second year of courses. Transfer students who are
admitted with sophomore or higher standing satisfy the requirements in effect when they begin their first course at Cornell.
Students who have withdrawn from Cornell and are later readmitted follow the requirements in effect at the time of their
readmission. Exceptions may be made by the department concerned in response to the student's petition, provided that such
changes are feasible for and agreeable to the department.
