The primary program of study within an academic record. Each academic record must have one and only one primary program of study. For a graduate student, it is the program to which the student has been admitted. Additional programs of study can be added for items such as certificates after the student has been matriculated in to their primary program of study, based on individual school and program requirements. For an undergraduate student, this is typically their first declared major or their first intended major upon admission (taken from a student’s application and their first designated area of interest).

This program controls the academic unit and level assigned to the academic record.
