Student Resources

College of Arts and Sciences Forms

Students must submit intent to graduate forms (also called file for degree forms). An advisor from the History Department must sign this form before you take it to the dean’s office.

The deadlines for these forms are:

October 1 for May graduation
April 1 for August graduation
August 1 for December graduation

If you are graduating with a double major, you must file two intent to graduate forms, one for each major. You will need to see an advisor in the other major as well as an advisor in history.

All forms are available on line at College of Arts and Sciences forms or in the History Department’s main office, Washburn 113. For study abroad approvals you may contact Dr. Robert Widell directly.
