ARCHIVE:

Due to the highly impacted nature of psychology courses, no new PSY minor applications will be accepted except:
- students who will have completed PSY minor requirements by the end of Fall 2026 can still submit a minor application form and be awarded the minor. We will post the form at our minors page when we have it.
Students who declared a PSY minor prior to the suspension can proceed with the minor.
Psychology classes remain open to all students with the necessary prerequisites - feel free to take the courses that interest you even though you are not taking them "for" a minor.
We understand that this news may be disappointing and we urge students with concerns to talk with an academic advisor.
- Please note that having a minor on your transcript is very unlikely to influence your career trajectory; rather, we can support you in highlighting the knowledge and skills you've gained in PSY courses and relevant experiences in a way that's far stronger than simply having a minor listed on your official documents.
- For students who would like to add a minor to their academic record, we urge you to explore the wealth of other minor offerings at Cal Poly. See a complete list here.
Note that the Gerontology minor continues to accept applications.
If you have already declared a minor in any field of study, but no longer plan to complete it, please fill out the "Drop Minor Request" form.
