Academic Counselling Info
By CHAD FULLERTON, MACINSIDERS
As we had reported earlier, the Easy Summer Orientation Program on the
FYEO's website had their schedule posted for events, but were missing the Academic Counselling session times for specific faculties. They provide a link to the Registrar (
http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /regis...unselling.html) which had a message saying they would be posting the information by "the week of May 26". It is now the end of the week, and the page is updated... but
it appears incoming first year students are dissappointed.
The updated website page simply links to all of the faculty websites (some links are just the general links with no indication of dates) and only a few of the faculty sites indicate the dates of the academic sessions.
We'll look into this for all you first years, and try to find out when these dates are and let you know as soon as we find out. These sessions are very helpful if you're wanting assistance selecting courses, learning how to use SOLAR, etc. Course selection and registration procedures will be explained and printed versions of the Undergraduate Calendar will be made available to those attending the session. At the end of each session, students are able to go online and complete their registrations (via SOLAR) with academic advisors standing by to help.
Update #1: Here are the dates we've been able to gather so far

The Faculty of Science
START sessions are designed for new students entering Environmental & Earth Sciences I, Life Sciences I, Math & Stats I, Physical Sciences I, Honours Kinesiology I, and Medical Radiation Sciences I. During the first half of the session, we will educate you on important academic information, including course selection and registration procedures. To help with this, a printed version of the 2008-2009 Undergraduate Calendar will be given to all incoming students who attend a START session. During the second half, we will relocate to one of our on-campus computer labs where you will be able to go online and complete your 2008-2009 Fall/Winter registration with academic advisors standing by to help.
Registration for students entering a Level I program in the Faculty of Science in September 2008 will open on
Monday, June 30, 2008. More
