				payment agreement
			 
			
		
		
		sooo i keep getting this message saying that the combination of options i chose were invalid. i selected OSAP as my funding option, and monthly payment method (B) which is for ppl who are registering for a full session (8 months) .. am i doing something wrong? the other payment methods work, but i dont understand why the option i chose doesn't.

		 For those having trouble with the first year math courses. (1Z04 and 1ZZ5). You can now add it into your timetable as of 4 pm on July 2nd. (probably a glitch that got fixed)

Maybe it might be the payment method you are using...are u doing online banking'/cheque/international wire transfer?

		 Are you using OSAP for ALL of your tuition/res costs? If so, then I think it would make more sense to choose the "installment plan" for payment, since OSAP gets released in September and January (and that's when your installments would be due).

		 When I try to log into mugsi I get the message "your session time has expired or you have used an unsupported browser activity" does this just mean that the server is full so it wont let me in??

		You can't select OSAP yet guys. Read #6!

				6. OSAP AND SCHOLARSHIP FUNDING OPTIONS NOT AVAILABLE!!! 
If you're seeing "No Application" beside OSAP this is NORMAL! OSAP hasn't been processed yet so you can't select it as a funding option (yet!). Same with entrance scholarships. So I suggest that you confirm your payment agreement anyways (without selecting OSAP or scholarship options) and then in a few weeks check back and see if they have been processed. Once they have, you'll see a dollar amount beside "OSAP" (if you applied for it) and you can click the check box to subtract that amount from your payment total and then RECONFIRM your payment agreement with the new updated amount!

 Firefox and internet explorer worked fine with mugsi on a mac. I was able to drop and add courses successfully. I just went in using safari, and it looked like it should work too. I didn't have any courses to add, but i could see everything and i could view the payment agreement fine. It looks like it should work nicely.

		 Often courses have a cap for the number of outside-faculty students that can enroll in that course. Keep in mind all the 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd year students have already selected their courses and there may no longer be extra seats for other students. 
  
For example, I wanted to do a minor in business. The commerce faculty only lets 40 non-commerce students into each of the classes. These seats were already full by the time 3rd year science students got to select. Sometimes 1st and 2nd year courses are popular with upper years - it all depends.
