Bummer: level is not defined ?

I set the level () in get but can't use it in set. How can I use it in set?

creating_setters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }

    set major (major) {
      if (level==='Senior' || level==='Junior') {
      this._major = major;
      } else {
      this._major = 'None';
      }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

You're very close! When accessing components of the class itself, the identifier should be prefixed with "self.".
