Whoa... I've heard about this happening but I never actually seen it before. Pretty crazy, I wonder what the description of "over usage" is... Because I've been on SOLAR at least 9 times today... although I only check 2 courses and then log off, takes like 1 minute.

I got that this morning too! expect that they blocked me till 4:37 pm. I realized that you have to log off before your 45 minute session ends and then you can log in again or else they will claim that you 'over use' it >.<

So basically you were taking up space for no reason. That's just rude.

The reason being I need to change my courses? If you ask me you're rude. I actually log out, I bet you don't.

Im blocked from SOLAR because it says due to your payment agreement you cannot use SOLAR till August 16th...

I went on payment agreement and clicked confirm since thats the only option i have and from my understanding payment in full is due on September 1st.

Is there no way i can access SOLAR till then i doubt EVERYONE thats been able to get on so far has paid their tuition as of now, or am i missing something else.

You were supposed to accept your payment agreement before the 10th.

Did you confirm your payment agreement before August 10th? As long as you clicked confirm before the 10th on your PA you can access solar today
