  1. 1. In the area of changes of major, it is useful for departments to not only know which changes of major were approved or complete, it is also useful to know about requests for change of major that were denied or are still pending. Departments use this information to evaluate:
    1. Workload
    2. Potential patterns of movement among majors in the continuing student population, which is especially useful when considering admissions targets for those majors under a capped major status. Knowing how many students attempted to change to a particular major in a particular term is a helpful data point often considered by faculty when making determinations about these target numbers.

For these reasons, it would be helpful to be able to view data that comes through the change of major/minor tool, even if the action does not result in a change of major. From the current major/minor tool, useful data elements are, minimally:


Effective Term

Major(M) or Minor(R)

PID

Name

New Major/Minor

New Major/Minor Desc

Old Major/Minor

Request Status
