ASCC admits students to their first degree (Program) when requested by department. When a student is re-admitted, they are re-matriculated into an academic interest and not admitted to the major, therefore ASCC processes the re-admit to major.

Request the following changes to the student's first program/degree through ASCC:

  • Admit to the major/release from the major; add and/or drop academic interests; add or change subplan (Option)
  • Any add or change of SUBPLAN (Option) to any major, including additional majors
