  • Students who have not taken Hist. 220 or Hist. 223 must have the permission of the instructor to take Hist. 403. This depends on an interview with me. I require students to bring a transcript of courses and grades at SFU as well as two previously submitted history papers that come closest in theme and time period to the European Reformation. An interview will not necessarily result in permission to register in the course. Students who have taken no or few courses in European history at SFU most likely will not be able to register in Hist. 403.
