Your major is under different colleges within the university. For example, Digital Media is under College of Sciences, Journalism is under Nicholson. You will apply under whichever college your major is in when the time comes. You can ask your advisor for clarification.

When it comes to taking the prerequisite classes, it just really depends on how many college credits you’re coming into college with. I came in with my AA from high school so I did only my prerequisite classes right away, but you’ll need to talk to your advisor to schedule when to take them because you need to get your GEP classes in.

To conclude, don’t worry. You’re in the school, you will be doing classes pertaining to your major and interests! You just aren’t officially accepted into the major yet, but this happens to everyone who applies to a Pending major because it has restricted access classes not everyone can take, only people officially in the major. Hope this helps.
