Entrance to and Changes in Major Programs of Study 1. Recording and Use of Major Preference Data 1.1 Colleges are encouraged, but not required to accept into major status students outside of the college. Students indicating major preferences outside of their common year college are informed accordingly. Each student may identify up to three major preferences.
Students have opportunities to modify their major preferences at any time prior to entering a major.
Each college must provide information to their freshmen and advisers relevant to gaining entrance to the college's majors, and to assist students in their selection of major preferences. All colleges must make this information available to all university students and advisers. 1.4 Colleges that have received authorization to have administrative controls imposed on the number of students who may be granted entrance to a major each year, must inform students about these controls and the procedures for gaining entrance to a controlled major. The major preference data is used to review entrance to all majors, regardless if the major is controlled or not controlled. Students generally enter a major after one year and before their third year.
