New for Students this Autumn: HAS Website Upgrades

NEW THIS AUTUMN: HAS WEBSITE UPGRADES

For all of you who are either connected to (or have expressed an interest in) Humanities programs at UW, we’re glad you’re here! This summer the HAS team has been busy taking our website and overhauling absolutely everything to make sure you as students are able to get the support and advising you deserve. Now that we're in autumn quarter, we wanted to give you a guided tour of what we’ve been up to so you can use our new site to make the most of time at UW.

Putting Students Front & Center

Our next generation site dramatically expands student resources, and we’ve worked to put them all in one easy to use location from our top nav. Whether you’re a declared major/minor, or just looking to see how the Humanities can connect to your plans as a student, start with our Students section. Thinking about declaring or transferring to UW? Start with our Explore Programs section.

If you have questions about world languages, wellness resources, how to register, or how to make an appointment with HAS advisers, everything is now collected in one easy to access place.

Ready to Help

Quick launch tabs in our advising & support section mean current or prospective students will know exactly how to get help from the HAS team. Our advising FAQs section will help you get ready for your appointment with guidance on everything from finding our office to how to reschedule appointments if your plans change.

Find Your Way

Live map widgets and a video walkthrough of Padelford Hall now feature on our Visit Us page, so students who have an upcoming appointment can find and visit our office on campus more intuitively than ever before.

Now listed on Google maps and Apple maps - navigate your way to the HAS center from anywhere on campus! Once you make it Padelford, our video walkthrough and building signage makes it easy to get to where you're going.

Academics

Our new academic resources section brings the resources you need to you; from tutoring and study support to petition forms, one new planning tool we’re introducing is flowchart style major/ minor roadmaps to help students see at a glance what goes into a major or minor and what approach a student can take to completing program requirements. If you’ve ever wondered how HAS can advocate for you as a student or how we can help with updating your registration, stop by our academic resources section.

Funding & Wellness

Being a student can be challenging, and part of the challenge can be just knowing where to go for help or what resources are available. Our team has created a comprehensive hub that brings together wellness, health, security and funding resources together into one organised, accessible place to show students what (and who) is out there, ready to help them in a time of need.

Get Ready for the Next Chapter

Career resources are now an integral part of the new HAS website; you’ll find everything you need to know about finding mentors, connecting with alumni, building your professional profile, developing skills and experience as a student, and more. Our resume and Handshake platform guides are designed to help you articulate the edge your Humanities experience gives you in the modern economy, and the HAS advising team are ready to help answer your questions with pre-career advising appointments.

Check out our career resources in the Graduation & Beyond section.
