Department of Psychology

Fall 2022 Registration

Students will self-register via CUNYFirst.  Check your CUNYFirst account for your appointment date & time, and make sure to remove all holds prior to your registration date.

Please register via CUNYFirst, following the schedule below:

We will offer a “Senior Majors Only” Priority Period (April 4th^th-April 11th) for all Experimental courses:

• Experimental Psychology, Psych 213W and
• Advanced Experimentals, Psych 311 to 321

If you are a Declared Psychology or Neuroscience Major with Senior class standing (over 90 credits), you can self-enroll via CUNYFirst on your appointment date.  Class standing is calculated by earned credits + credits currently in progress.

Psych 213W and Advanced Experimental courses will open for Junior Majors (60-89 credits) starting on Tuesday, April 12th.  Remaining seats in 213W and 311-321 will be opened to all students two weeks prior to the start of classes, Thursday, August 11th

Due to the popularity of our courses, getting into Psychology courses can be challenging. For this reason, we suggest three things:
(1) register via CUNYfirst, as early as you possibly can.
(2) if a course you want is closed, search for and seriously consider alternatives
(3) do not assume you can be overtallied into a closed course just because your graduation will be otherwise delayed.

All Registrations should be done by students via their CUNYFirst accounts. However, if you run into problems, we are here to help.

For general assistance, email the virtual Psych Department at: QC_Psychology@qc.cuny.edu

To make a Registration Request (enrollment is not guaranteed), use the form provided here.

When placing requests, please respect the “Seniors only” priority registration period (April 4th-April 11th) for 213W and Adv Exp which are intended to help ensure that graduating seniors get their final classes. Registration requests submitted by anyone but seniors during the senior only period will be summarily deleted without any response or acknowledgement.

Please do not register for multiple Advanced Experimental 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.

Students are advised to check the course format, including class notes, very carefully when registering.

Psychology dept is returning 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. Please be reminded that CUNY has mandated that all students taking in-person or hybrid courses are required to be vaccinated or have an approved medical or religious exemption.
• 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.
• 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 but listed as in person.
