My papers keep clashing and I was told to pick between a double major or one minor 🥲 My papers keep clashing and I was told to pick between a double major or one minor 🥲

So, I've quite a few posts here, which I'm unsure is a good thing or a bad thing. Though, I had intended to major in Māori/Indigenous Studies and double minor in History and Anthropology. However, in my attempt to pick papers, I kept having clashes and when I emailed one of the student engagement people, they said to pick one or the other. I never knew picking papers would be harder than my exams! 😫 Does anyone have any advice? Or should I just simply roll with it?


I don't understand Paper Selection I don't understand Paper Selection

Hi!

It's me again, nōku te he, but I don't really understand paper selection. I've decided to do a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Māori/Indigenous Studies and doing two minors in History and Anthropology. I understand I need 120 points for the year in total and that each trimester requires 60 points. Each paper is fifteen points, meaning I have to pick four papers per trimester. Do I pick two Māori papers and one paper per minor? Do I also end up picking up papers for the next year too?

Sorry for asking dumb questions! I would of signed up for the calls they were doing where they explained it but I missed them since this is the last week. I'd hate to bother them so late so I wanted to ask here. I know at the beginning of the uni year you have two weeks to change papers so that's what's stopping me from panicking too much.
