Adding a Major

The majors you define for the CCCApply Standard, Noncredit, and International applications are not the same. Some amount of configuration is required for each application.

For example:

  • CCCApply vs. International Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and then select International from the Applications drop-down list, the major you just defined for the CCCApply Standard application will not appear in the Majors table for the International application. If you want a given major to be available on both applications, you must create it separately for each application. Or, you may import the major (or list of majors) into both applications (i.e. you can create majors in one application, export those majors, and then import those majors into the other application).

  • CCCApply vs. Noncredit Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and you want that major to also display for the Noncredit application, you will want to select Both from the Application Type drop-down list in the Major dialog box when manually creating a major. Otherwise the major defaults to Standard application display. As with the International application, you can choose to import the major (or list of majors) into both applications.

...
