Declaring a Major

Any member of the program faculty can be your advisor. Try to meet as many of us as possible to talk about your own goals and expectations. Then select as an advisor the program member who seems most attuned to your interests. Fill out the blue "Declaration of Major" form available from the Classics Department office (Eaton 321); get it signed by your current advisor (and pick up your folder at the same time), then have it signed by your new Archaeology advisor and turn your folder into the Classics Department office (Eaton 321).  Bring your form to David Proctor  to initial and photocopy, then return it to the Dean of Advising Office, Dowling Hall. You have now officially declared a major and henceforth relevant documents -- transcripts, pre-registration packets -- will come to your new Archaeology advisor. Double-majors: the same blue form should be used to declare a second major. But your folder will have to go to advisors in two departments, so have the department make an additional copy of it.
