You will remain in the same degree type but change your concentration (eg, Change from BA History to BA Psychology, or BSc Biology to BSc Neuroscience.) Applications can only be submitted starting October 1st. Please consult the Psychology info sheet or the Neuroscience info sheet for admission requirements & info session dates.

• Change of concentration application to Psychology for students outside Psychology

The internal degree transfer applies to Concordia students who are enrolled in a degree program and wish to transfer degrees to enter a program in Psychology or Neuroscience (eg, change from a BSc program to a BA in Psychology; or BComm, BEd, BComp, BEng, or BFA program to a BSc in Neuroscience).

Please consult the information sheet for admission requirements and information session dates.

Note that the Department of Psychology is no longer accepting applications for a Minor in Psychology.

Note the following:

• PSYC 311, 387, and all 400-level courses are unavailable to students outside of Psychology/Neuroscience.
• There are no guarantees of availability as students in the Psychology and Neuroscience programs have priority. We cannot help you if a class is waitlisted or closed.
• We typically allow a maximum of 1 PSYC/NEUR course per student per semester.

ZOOM
Assuming the course you wish to take has open seats, you can come to one of the following zoom sessions to request permission. The zoom link is the same for all sessions.

Tuesday, January 7:  11 am – 12 pm
Wednesday, January 8:  2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Thursday, January 9:  11 am – 12 pm

We will see one student at a time on a first-come first-served basis. There will be a waiting room, and it is normal that you wait a while since many students typically attend these sessions. We will get to you before we close the waiting room.

Be sure to have the specific course info and your student ID number ready, otherwise we will move on to the next student and come back to you.

E FORM
The e-form will be available as of Thursday, January 9 at 1:00 pm, after the zoom sessions. You fill out the form once per course that you want in ranked order with your first choice being your first form entry. Please be sure to fill out your email and student ID correctly as they are needed to give permission and contact you.

Starting Monday January 13, at least once per day, we will look at the requests for courses that have enough space and grant permission where possible. We will keep checking daily until the DNE deadline. You will be contacted by email only if you are given permission to register for a course.

We strongly suggest registering in other courses as backup and that you don’t count on an override in case the course you want is not available. You can make changes to your schedule once permission is granted since we will not register for you.

If a class is closed, you can still fill the form in case it opens, but keep in mind that we cannot let in more students into a closed or waitlisted course.

It is your responsibility to ensure that there are no issues that would prevent you from registering in the course, such as account holds, time conflicts, credit limits, etc. If you drop a course but then cannot register in one of ours, we cannot help you get back into the one you dropped.
