Registering for the History Major: Fill Out The Forms

History Department Major Form

Please complete this form before (and sometimes during) your meeting with your Advisor. Once your Advisor has approved the form, please send the completed form to Linda Grandshaw, Departmental Administrative Assistant.

Important Note About PDF Forms: The most reliable way to use this form is to download it to your computer and open it in Adobe Acrobat.

HIST 301 Preferences

Because this is a required course (taught twice a semester), we sometimes have to move students from one section to another in case of over enrollment. For this reason, we would like to get your preferences. Please fill the Google Form to help us make an informed decision. You will be notified if you are switched to another course in the current semester.

Declare Major Form

For new Major Declarations, please be sure to fill out the Registrar’s form. This will ensure that your information is put into PeopleSoft.
