Major, Minor, Concentration Code Validation (STVMAJR) page

Use the Major, Minor, Concentration Code Validation (STVMAJR) page to create, update, insert, and delete major, minor, and concentration codes, such as Undeclared, Journalism, Music, Law, and so on.

Pages in several modules use this page to validate the major, minor, and concentration codes. You can create and update these codes only from this page.

Please see the “Required System Values for Validation Forms” section in the “Validation Forms” chapter of the Banner Student User Guide for a list of required system values for this validation page.

Note: All Banner® systems share this validation page. You should coordinate with other Banner system users at your institution when deciding what codes are used on this page.
