SecondMajorsStudents may declare double majors, per University Policy, with one major being their primary major, and then second being their second major. In ConnectCarolina, as was the case in SIS, the first major is attached to the degree. University Policy remains that same, in that a BS (or a BFA or a BMus for example) degree basically trumps a BA degree. This means that a student may have the following combinations of double majors:

1. A BS first major with a BS second major 2. A BA first major with a BA second major 3. A BS first major with a BA second major

***A student may not have BA first major with a BS second major.

In ConnectCarolina, second majors are designated with a “2nd” classification. So, a student that has declared Psychology (BA) for their second major, would have PSYA2nd major code on their plan stack.Comparing/ViewingAcademicStructureinConnectCarolinaandSIS

ConnectCarolina and SIS display a student’s program stack in a different format. Each system displays similar content such as College, Degree, Major/Minor as well as type of enrollment or action.

In SIS a student’s program plan/stack is displayed in Terms (semesters) on screen 191 and screen 111. Terms (semesters) are grouped from oldest to most recent. Each term’s program/plan can be viewed in detail by clicking on a term and viewing the information displayed on Screen 111.

In ConnectCarolina the program stack information is displayed using rows. Each row represents an action in the student’s plan. Effective Dates determine the beginning and end of rows.
