How to Apply:
THIS IS A TWO-PART APPLICATION PROCESS. Please read the full instructions first before applying. The application will be 2 Google Forms. You must fill out the first Google Form for preliminary screening. After that is approved by the officer team, you will be sent the second Google Form. If you do not fill out both forms, you will not officially be a member of the CSU Psi Chi Chapter.
Part 1:
We need to first check your transcripts to ensure you are eligible to apply to Psi Chi. For this, we will need you to submit your unofficial transcripts to get approved.
Rather than printing, you are going to Save as a PDF
Once you have saved your Unofficial Transcript as a PDF, you are going to fill out and attach your transcript to the Google Form
Once you have completed the form, we will evaluate it. You will then get an email from psichi.csu@gmail.com to let you know if you are approved or not to move to ‘Part 2’ of the application process. In that email, it will include further directions and the link to complete the ‘Part 2’ form of the application process.
Part 2:
After you are approved by our team, outlined in ‘Part 1’, you will apply to the international Psi Chi chapter online. From there, you will pay your $55 fee through their website. After that, you will fill out and submit your online Psi Chi Chapter application (as a PDF) to a second Google Form (which will be emailed to you after you complete ‘Part 1’). The last step will be to bring your $10 in cash, check, or as a venmo payment to our office (Clark C 007A) in-person. Please see our office hours to find a time to stop by.
