Student Proposal. A student who wishes to propose an individual major must submit the proposal to the Committee on Undergraduate Student Petitions prior to reaching 120 units. It is important for the student to make arrangements to speak with a counselor in the college early in the development of his/her major as no individual major will be approved after a student has completed 120 units.
