Advising
The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) is the key liaison between students and the rest of the faculty, college, and university.
The DUS is responsible for approving and signing declaration of major forms, declaration of minor forms, all transfer credits, senior thesis applications, study abroad approvals, and credit evaluation/transfers. The DUS also signs off on petitions to graduate. Please note: Petitions must include a completed major or minor worksheet listing quarters/years when courses were or will be completed.
All Northwestern undergraduates who are interested in the major, the minor, or who want to talk about art history at the undergraduate level at Northwestern are also encouraged to meet with the DUS.
When you meet with the DUS to discuss any of the above procedures or forms, please bring all the necessary paperwork with you. If you have any questions about what you will need to bring, please consult the relevant webpage or email the DUS.

Advising within the Major and Minor
All majors and minors are advised by the DUS and are expected to meet with them once a year to approve their course of study. In general, students also receive advice from other professors in the department with whom they have studied.
In advance of meetings with the DUS, all majors and minors ought to bring an up-to-date copy of the major/minor field worksheet (see Forms and Procedures) so that the advisor can best assess their progress to degree.
