The department maintains extensive advisory facilities for majors and non-majors. When a student selects history as a major, a faculty member is appointed his or her adviser. These advisers hold office hours for students who wish to talk to a professor for any reason at all. The advisers and department staff can deal with most students' questions and problems. If necessary, students can call the department to arrange to meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
