Advising

Application to Graduate

I will need to certify that you have completed the major before you graduate. Please bring the following with you when you meet with me for this:

  • The SIS "Degree Requirements" printout
  • A filled-in copy of the appropriate major summary worksheet, which is available below

Major summary worksheets

Requirement summary worksheet (Government)

Requirement summary worksheet (Foreign Affairs)

I have put together these worksheets to summarize the requirements for the major. You may find the relevant one (Government or Foreign Affairs) helpful in planning your progress through the major. While they attempt to summarize the requirements, please remember that they do not represent authoritative statements of the rules.
