Whether you’re looking for your History instructor’s contact information or need to connect with your undergraduate or graduate advisor, we’re here to support you throughout your academic journey.
The first step to every term is to enrol in courses. Undergraduate students do this during the course selection process. Choose your undergraduate courses carefully to ensure you are meeting your degree requirements. If you’re part of the Tri-U program, be sure to preregister for graduate courses at partner institutions to help secure your preferred courses. Be sure to check in with your advisors throughout your degree to make sure you are on track to graduate.
Of course, University life is about more than academics! Take time to have fun, build meaningful connections, and get involved in the History community. Join us for History events and guest lectures, and consider joining the Undergraduate History Society or the Tri-U Graduate History Association.
