SA/03/AS/12/UEPC - Declaration of Major Effective June 5, 2012 Be it Resolved: That students attending CSU, Stanislaus must declare a major once they have accumulated 60 units of credit toward graduation; and be it further
Resolved: That students who transfer from other institutions with 60 units or more must declare a major by the beginning of their second semester on campus; and be it further
Resolved: that students who do not declare a major by the time specified in this resolution be prevented from registering via a hold on their registration until such time as they do declare a major; and be it further
Resolved: That the efficacy of this policy be evaluated by the University Educational Policy Committee in two years, by the end of the academic year 2013-2014.
Rationale: Frequent advising and specific academic goals help keep students on track to graduate in a timely fashion. The current lean budget situation makes the efficient use of academic resources even more important. This policy change requires students to choose a specific path toward graduation that will also connect them with an adviser in an academic field under the mandatory advising policy within majors. This may reduce the number of “Super Seniors.”
Review Period: 2 years
Review History: Approved by the Academic Senate on April 17, 2012. Approved by President Shirvani on June 5, 2012.
Student Affairs Division has the primary responsibility for this policy.
