Psychology Student Handbook 2007-2008

Using This Handbook This handbook was written for you by the students and faculty of the Psychology Department.  Please read it carefully and consult it often. We believe it contains important information that you need to know in order to be successful at C-SC. Most of the material presented here will be addressed more fully in classes, special meetings, and advising sessions. But the handbook gives you an online record of the information that we think you'll find helpful. What is presented here is not the final word, of course, and our webpage version of the manual is updated continuously. Consequently, please let us know your reactions to the handbook and give us your suggestions for future inclusions. Our goal as faculty members is to do everything we can to enhance your opportunities for success. We hope this handbook is one thing that will help us in meeting that goal. Best wishes in your academic career.
