Most faculty post their office hours on their office doors. Office hours can also be obtained by calling the history office. Declared majors consult with their advisers at least once per semester, usually during the registration period. Special problems or questions can be addressed at any time. The advising system can be an extremely valuable aid to students as they negotiate their way through the department's program.
Students avoid it at their peril.
Please note that the department reserves the right to drop from its list of majors any students who fail to see their advisers regularly. Familiarize yourself in a general way with the rules and regulations for the history major and the offerings of the department. This information can also be found in the UVa Record . With these preliminaries accomplished, you should expect to spend a little time with your adviser planning your program of study. You may change your mind about some courses, or you may find that courses you had hoped to take are not offered when you expected them to be.
