Dear Aska,
I’m a student half way through my 3rd year. I’m currently working towards a double major in Archaeology and Classical Civilizations with a minor in Art History. I’ve done summer semester for the last 2 years as well in order to keep my workload down to 4 classes/semester (fall/winter) and have everything planned on the ROSI degree planner through the end of my degree. The thing is, I really really would rather up my course load and get a triple major, as I really do love all of these subjects equally and each one is beneficial to my career/ academic aspirations. I’m just not sure how to go about trying for this. Is this possible at all? Do I petition my registrar? I was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
Thank you so much,
~ Tripledown
P.S. I’m really hoping for a response chock-full of great links and funny gifs.

hey there Tripledown,
the faculty of arts and science is pretty explicit about not letting people do more than 2 majors/specialists. however, since they’re the ones who make the rules, they’d be the ones who could make an exception, if at all possible. i’d start off by calling them and asking.
i wouldn’t get my hopes up, but it’s always worth it to ask. also, if it’s just about really, really loving the programs, you can always take the courses required for an art history major, without actually having the ‘major’ designation on your transcript.
cheers,
aska
P.S. here’s one of my favourite gifs, completely complementary, just because you asked so nicely:
