2) APR for Legalst
APR for Legalst

This is a reminder that the section for Legal Studies in the Academic Progress Report (in CalCentral) does not work for the major. 

Resist the urge to look at it.
Collapse that section and don't look.
It will only stress you out.
It is not an official record for the major.
The APR does work for things like University and College requirements.
Also remember that Lauri will be clearing you for the major behind the scenes when you get ready to graduate.
