Notes:
- Residency Requirements:
Students enrolled in academic plans in Psychology must successfully complete at least half of the total number of academic course units required in Psychology for their academic plan from UW with numerical grades. Please refer to the Residency Requirement section for the Faculty of Arts as well as the Psychology Undergraduate Student Handbook for further details regarding the residency requirements.
- Only Psychology labelled units (i.e., PSYCH) may be used towards the Psychology Minor requirements.
- Double Counting Rules: No more than three of the ten PSYCH courses for the Psychology Minor can be used to satisfy PSYCH course requirements in another individual academic plan (i.e., Major, Minor, or Option). Under no circumstances can an individual PSYCH course satisfy PSYCH course requirements in more than two academic plans.
