Ideally, you should declare the minor as soon as you possible, so as to take advantage of departmental advising in planning the best sequence of upper-level courses.
Declaration Process
- The first step to declare a minor in Geography or GIS is to fill out and submit the
Declaration of Minor Form » - Download an unofficial transcript. To do so:
- Log in to PAWS

- Select the Undergraduate or Graduate Transcript and default Output Destination Type (email), then click the Submit Transcript Request button
- A PDF copy will be delivered to your UWM Email Address immediately
- Request a meeting with a Geography advisor (see below).
- You will receive confirmation documents by email.
- You will also be put on the “geog-majors” e-mail list, to receive information about scholarships, internships, Geography classes and other program information.
