What is typically used to track a student's major or course of study?

The correct choice is Program Enrollment, as it serves to effectively link a student to their specific academic programs, majors, or courses of study. In the context of Salesforce Education Cloud, Program Enrollment captures all relevant details regarding the educational journey of a student, including the specific programs they are enrolled in, the courses associated with those programs, and pertinent dates related to their progress. This allows institutions to maintain a detailed record of each student's path through their educational offerings, encompassing changes in major, consolidated course schedules, and the requirements needed for program completion.

Other options such as Contact Record focus on general information about the student rather than their academic trajectory, while Student Assessment pertains more to evaluating student performance rather than tracking their program of study. Similarly, Independent Study Record typically addresses personalized or self-directed learning experiences rather than structured academic enrollment. Thus, Program Enrollment stands out as the specific tool designed to monitor and manage a student’s major or course of study within the educational framework.
