Choosing a Major
If your pre-enrolment requires the selection of a Major (also known
as a student specialisation), this function will be available to
you on the Web. Should you wish to choose a different major after
pre-enrolment has closed, you may do so by using the Web Enrolment
Variations tool.
How to choose a Major
- Click the
button and three fields will appear.
- Your pre-enrolment requires the selection of at least one Major
(all students).
- Choose 1-3 different Majors from the lists provided.
- To remove a major from your list choose [Not Selected] from the drop-down menu.
- If you do not know your major/s, select UNDECIDED as the first
Major.
- If you decide that you wish to cancel all the selections you
have made so far (before saving), click on the
button.
- Click the
button to save the Majors you have selected.
- If the update of Majors has been successful, a screen will
appear confirming this. You can click on the
button if you wish to change them again or the 
button to return to the first screen.
Common problems you may encounter
- The Major you wish to choose does not appear in the list:
if this is the case, you may need to check the current Faculty
handbook or contact your Faculty to confirm that the major you
are interested in is available.
- If you select the same Major twice: when you click the
Save Changes button, an error message will appear saying "Duplicate
Majors. A duplicate major has been found on row X. Please correct
the data before continuing". When you click "OK",
you will be returned to the Majors selection screen and you may
change one (or both) of the duplicate Majors to a different one.
Click the "Save Changes" button to continue.
- If you do not select a Major: if all three rows of the
screen are showing [Not Selected] and you click on the "Save
Changes" button, an error message will appear stating "Update
of your majors has FAILED. You have not selected any majors for
your course. You must enter at least one major or choose UNDECIDED
on the first row. You can not pre-enrol until your majors have
been selected". When you click "OK", you will be
returned to the majors selection screen, and you may select a
major in at least one row, or select UNDECIDED.
