There are two paths that students who are currently in a Concordia degree program can take to enter a Psychology program.

1) The Change of Concentration process – please consult the info sheet for admission requirements & info session dates.

• Change of concentration application – students outside Psychology

2) The Internal Degree Transfer process – please consult the info sheet for admission requirements & info session dates.

Note 1: If you are not in a Concordia degree program and you wish to be admitted to a Psychology program, then you must apply through the admissions process.

Note 2: The Department of Psychology is not accepting applications for the Minor in Psychology program for the foreseeable future.

Please remember that there are NO GUARANTEES as students in Psychology always have priority. Also, non-Psychology students are permitted a maximum of 1 PSYC course per term for a total of 4 courses during your undergraduate degree.

As an out-of-program student you are allowed to enroll directly in 200-level PSYC courses. If you are interested in taking a 300-level PSYC course that has space available and no waitlist, then you can request permission by attending a course override registration session. A list of the override dates will be posted here two weeks prior to the start of the applicable term. The sessions are held virtually in Zoom.

Wednesday May 10: 11 am – 12 pm
Thursday May 11: 2:30 – 3:30 pm
