INFORMATION FOR "NEW" STUDENTS

This program will accept a limited number of new students in the winter quarter. There are two prerequisites, however:

1) Before the first day of the quarter, new students must have read the first 20 chapters (through page 264) of Peter Irons, People's History of the Supreme Court, and must be prepared to write an essay on this reading (the first week of class, on a topic to be designated by the faculty).

2) New students must provide evidence that they have studied college-level U.S. history.
 

 If you meet the history prerequisite, accept the reading and essay requirement, and wish to be considered for admission to the program, please provide the following information:

Class standing (e.g., senior):

What program did you take in the fall quarter?

Why are you not continuing in that program?
 
 
 
 
 

Why do you want to enroll in Dissent, Injustice & the Making of America?
 
 
 
 

Tell us how you satisfy the prerequisite of having studied U.S. history at the college-level (give the name of the program or course):
 
 
 
 

If your transcripts in your admissions file do not contain evidence that you have completed a college-level program or course in U.S. history, tell us where we can readily find that evidence or how you will provide it. (Please note that we are not requesting you to provide us with an Evergreen transcript. We can look at your admissions file.)
 
 
 

Return this form to either faculty member, José Gómez or Jules Unsel (see reverse side for location of offices and mailboxes). We will notify you of our decision by e-mail. If our decision is to admit you, we will also ask you to confirm receipt of the e-mail message. If you do not respond promptly (within 24 hours of our sending it), we will assume that you have decided not to take the program. We will then replace you with someone further down the list of hopeful registrants. If you do respond promptly, we will proceed to give you an override on the online registration system (Banner). That override will then make it possible for you to register.
