A note about choosing a Catalog for Psychology

If you have already declared the Psychology major and are unsure which Catalog you are following, you can find the term you declared in your UCSC portal (follow the instructions to find that information here). If you have not yet declared the Psychology major, you will choose your Catalog when petitioning to declare following these guidelines:

  • Students who entered UCSC as frosh in Fall 2020 or later must choose the 2020-24 Catalog when declaring the Psychology major. Students who entered UCSC as frosh in Fall 2019 may choose the 2019 Catalog or the 2020-24 Catalog when declaring the Psychology major.
  • Transfer students & students who entered UCSC as frosh before Fall 2019 may choose any Catalog when petitioning to declare the Psychology major.
  • The only difference between the 2019 & 2020-24 Catalogs is that PSYC 20 is required for students declared on the 2020-24 Catalog. PSYC 20 is recommended but not required for students declared on earlier Catalogs.
