MAJOR CERTIFICATION

What's new with Major Certification? The Registrar's office just launched some new enhancement features which should make the form easier to read and understand for students and faculty alike.  These enhancements include the elimination of the number columns which confused users, an increase in font size on the overall page, and the use of color to denote courses that are being offered via the override feature.  Now when students submit an override request in Major Certification, what they are offering will appear in green.  If the override is approved, the request will permanently be displayed in green.  Override requests that are denied, will revert to red and will remain on the form in red.  We hope these enhancements make the form easier to use and understand for all users.

Are you a student who needs assistance learning how to use the Major Certification Form? 

If so, contact Susan Krajewski, Associate Registrar, to schedule a brief appointment for one-on-one training on how to properly work with the form.  Susan's office is located in Room 102 in North College and she can be contacted via email at skrajewski@wesleyan.edu or by phone at x2738.

 

 

The new electronic Major Certification Form was first introduced in the Fall of 2011 and the Class of 2012 was the first class that utilized this form to be certified in their major(s).  Going forward only University majors and CSS and COL majors will continue to use the old paper senior concentration forms to certify their majors.  All other students must use this form to demonstrate how they have fulfilled their major requirements and can begin accessing the Major Certification Form in their portfolio as soon as they are accepted into a major. Students with multiple majors will see multiple links (one for each major).  Likewise, if your particular major has multiple tracks or concentrations, you will see a separate link for each. 

The form can assist students in planning future course registrations during pre-reg, so it should be accessed regularly.  You should not wait until your senior year to access this form.  It is always available to help you assess where you are with regard to fulfilling your major requirements. Students should consult with the individual department/program for any form-related deadlines internal to the major.  Seniors will be required to submit their final version of the form at the end of Drop/Add in their final semester of their senior year for degree certification.  The Registrar's office will communicate these deadlines to seniors directly.  Departments/programs will use this form to certify if the student has completed the requirements for the major, whereas a committee will certify that the student has completed all university requirements.

Students are able to identify which courses fit a requirement, as well as submit override requests and display planning text. Advisors are able to “approve,” “disapprove,” or click “see me” in response to each individual request.
