Stuck on Getter and Setter Challange

Hello! My answer is 

    get major() {
      return this._major;
    }

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

And it's not working, does anybody know why this answer isn't good?

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';
        }
    }

    get major() {
      return this._major;
    }

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

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

In the object methods, references to the current object should use the keyword "this" instead of the object name.

Also, while your getter code looks fine, it's not part of the challenge. The instructions only ask for the setter.
