When a student changes their major (i.e. at SOAR), the change is often future effective dated. This means that the change is set to occur on a date in the future and the student's new major will not become their current major until that date. Major - Future displays this future major and the effective date (the date it will change in SIS) of any student who is set to have their major changed. Once the effective date passes, the student's major will change to the new value and Major - Future will become blank.
