The Psychology Department at Brooklyn College is significantly understaffed, and the front office may undergo closures with short notice due to personnel shortages.
We look forward to assisting you as quickly as possible, and we thank you in advance for your patience during this time. Please use the below instructions to help us address your issues in a timely manner.
Contact your psychology instructor(s) first
A psychology student’s first point of contact should be the professor or instructor who is leading their class. Our instructors will be able to address a wide variety of student questions, concerns, and issues.
