Question about using CAS service

[CASquestions]

Good Afternoon, I hope everyone is doing well. I have two questions about how to navigate the CAS service that I was hoping someone could answer for me:
1: If my UG major is not in the dropdown menu for the "First Major" tab, am I forced to select the "Any Area not Listed" tab? Is there anywhere where I can fill in my major?
2: I was a transfer student, so I technically attended two undergraduate institutions. Is there a way to indicate this on CAS? I seem to be only able to select one undergraduate degree-granting institution. I am planning on sending both transcripts to CAS for GPA calculation, so I am concerned that they will not be able to indicate where part of my GPA came from.
Thank you.

Good questions, CASquestions, but ones that I am not as well qualified to answer as I'd like. The first place I would start would be here, at the LSAT CAS FAQ:

If your questions aren't answered there, contact CAS to ask them for more help:

Many, many applicants have been to multiple undergrad institutions, and you will want all those schools to be listed and the transcripts sent. I had a law school classmate who spent one awful semester at his first undergrad university, got a 0.0 gpa and dropped out. When he applied to law school he neglected to mention that school in his application. It was an honest, if naive, mistake - he figured that it really didn't count, since he was only there for a semester and he started from square one once he went back to school a few years later. By the time he got to applying to take the Bar Exam, he realized the importance of full and complete disclosure, so he included it. He ended up having his admission to the Bar delayed because he had to be interviewed by the ethics folks at the Bar first to make sure he hadn't intentionally lied, and to see if our law school would have rejected him had he included that info on his application (they said it would have made no difference - he was an excellent candidate anyway). He was ultimately admitted to the practice, but it was a harrowing time for a while there! Don't let that happen to you.

My point is, CAS is equipped to handle all those schools. Start with the one you got the degree from, and work backwards - there will be options to add more schools.

As to the major, if yours isn't listed in the drop down, pick whatever "other" option there is. If there is a place to add comments about it, that's where you'll put it in; if not, you'll handle that in some other part of your application. Believe me, you are not unique in this area either, and they are prepared to deal with that. Just use good common sense, disclose everything up front and in full, when in doubt provide additional info, and if you still aren't sure then give CAS a call for help.

Good luck!
