Roo Advising is the advising system used at UMKC.  Roo Advising teams have been assembled based on advisor expertise within various disciplines.  Psychology students are advised by the team focusing on Human Behavior, Education, and Justice (HBEJ).  If you are looking for academic advising assistance, you can schedule an appointment with an advisor through Connect.  Or, you can also call Roo Advising at 816-235-1148.
