I took summer classes, so I created my LogonID a year ago. I didn’t know that would be the same one I had if I got in when I applied (which would be now). Is there any way we can change our LogOn IDs?

@UCLAzzw what about chemisty? I want to do something more scientifically involved since I am premed…anthro would work for med school but I already have so many bio and chem classes!

Thank you for helping me guys! I really want to switch :’(

@princessluna yes you can change it try clicking manage logon maybe?

@jaxtransfer Starting yesterday, the majors listed in some tap students’ portals changed from their first choice majors to their alternate majors, and it turned out that those students were admitted into their alternate majors.

for those whose application is still under review, do you guys have a gap year by any chance?
