▰ Every student must have a major by the end of the 3rd regular term
   ▻ Senior year entry students (e.g. admitted through Associate Degree or Higher
      Diploma) must have a major by the end of the 2nd regular term.

▰ Choosing an additional major is optional.

▰ Application for Spring MSE: Apr 1 – Apr 26, 2019

You CANNOT decline an offer.
Don’t include any major that you don’t want in your program choices.
Late application will NOT be accepted.
                                                                                    5
Important Notes
for 2018 – 19 Entry Students
▰   All students, whether admitted to School (SBA) or to Program (PBA) upon admission, can join MSE to
    declare or change your major. However, once you have received a major offer through MSE, you cannot join
    MSE again.

▰   PBA students must give up your major quota once you submit your application. Think carefully before you
    apply.
      ▻   If no offer is received, you will be placed in the Business and Management Program and can join MSE again in the subsequent
          term(s) until the end of the 3rd term.

▰   Senior year entry students (e.g. admitted through Associate Degree or Higher Diploma) or PBA students
    admitted to ECOF and QFIN can join MSE in the first two terms.

▰   SBA students or PBA students admitted to BBA programs can join MSE in the first three terms.

▰   Students will be assigned BBA General Business Management (GBM) if receiving no major offer by two
    terms for senior year entry students or by three terms for all other students.
                                                                                                                                        6
