Sigh...there's always a problem at 1:50am.
I can't get the math courses (1Z04 & 1Z05) to add either...When I checked the reason for 1Z04, the requisite was to be registered in the engineering program...which is even more odd because I am =P
So it's probably a glitch and it better be fixed by the 8th =P =).
Did anyone else not able to choose the entrance scholarship as a funding option? And if anyone else knows if we can change our payment agreement later on if needed

I'm aiming for French 1AO6 or the two first year Latin courses as my electives. Hopefully they open up some more seats because they're all full right now!

I am also in eng coop and every single good elective is full!
I think they might open up July 4th when Humanities choose! |

I would not agree to the payment until all your courses have been chosen. |

Recommendation: Drop the courses that are giving you problems and save all the courses you do have (ie. click VERIFY, and click APPLY). Then close the SOLAR window and go back into MUGSI > SOLAR and try again. At least you'll have a spot saved in all the courses you don't have issues with.

No, you have to be a Humanities student, and you are not.

See #3 in the post. Curriculum seem to be an issue right now, contact your Faculty office (search the McMaster website for their number) and tell them. They will fix it... but they need to know first! If you can't get a hold of your faculty office, call the Registrar.

Psych is under 'social science' so.. I would probably try again on Friday July 4 when Soc Sci I students are let into SOLAR. Please see #4 in the post. |

Also, in response to the payment agreement. You can always confirm and go back and change. If you change courses it will reissue you a payment agreement - so it doesn't really matter if you confirm!

Hi, I was just wondering, my friend is in math and stats, and is un able to put math 1C03 (intro to mathematical reasoning) on Solar, as it tells her that she doesnt have the requisite??? She is able to take the rest of her math courses and has taken calc and vectors in grade 12. She has tried to call the school, but the line is still busy.
Any help would be appreciated

But it is just an elective choice, correct? There's a difference. Just because it is listed as an elective doesn't mean that Psych is under the faculty of sciences. I believe it's under Soc Sci, so try again on Friday when Soc Sci I is let in SOLAR.

As stated in the posting, contact your Faculty Office and have it confirmed that you have the pre-req from highschool. They are the only ones that can fix the prereq issues. If your friend is in Science, their contact numbers are here: http://www.science.mcmaster. ca/con...contactus.html |

I've had the same issue with calling the school. The line has been busy all day. Would and e-mail be a good alternative?

Could try emailing. Expect a few days delay in responses though.
