This semester, the History department will be doing advising entirely online. In a break from the open advising system of the last few semesters, we have assigned everyone an advisor from the full-time faculty.  Your advisor should reach out to you, but just in case they don’t, the assignments are below. If you have an ongoing advising relationship with a specific faculty member, feel free to contact them.   

We want to make this process as seamless as possible during all of this upheaval. You can be advised over email, or you can set up a google chat or phone call with your advisor.  

BEFORE YOUR ARE ADVISED: 

1) check the History major/minor requirements and your degree audit.  

2) Note which classes you need to complete your major/minor and your degree. 

3) Then consult the Fall schedule and know which classes you will be taking. 

4) Please be prepared with any other questions you might have.
