		 ok so for my payment agreement, i clicked OSAP and it says 'no application' beside it, but i still confirmed it. i read what you wrote, so does this mean, as long as i have OSAP selected my payment agreement is actually NOT confirmed and this may be the reason that it says i'm not eligble for any macid services!??!

		 ALSO (sorry if you've answered this somewhere else) when will it say on our payment agreement that we get, for example, $1000 off because we have over an 85% average.

 once your marks get in to mcmaster, the financial aid office will process it ! during my first year, according to my records i got approved for it around july 15ish. I would say wait one more week or so. if you really want to know, then you can go call the financial aid office

 hey. here is the dates and deadlines for things:  http://registrar.mcmaster.ca  /getre...deadlines.html
you can still access your payment agreement even after your 7 days. don't worry.     Your first payment  MUST be received             by August 15. Payments may be sent in advance and post-dated to             September 1.

		 I'm a little confused about the payment agreement. Where can I find out when I need to pay parts of my tuition and when the deadlines are? I am so confused. Any help will be appreciated thanks

		 ok I just have a question about our timetables..we get our timetables via MUGSI on August 7th correct? when then can we go and switch it around to the times/days we prefer..and how do you do that and how likely is it that I will get the class times I prefer?

 If you scroll down the Payment Agreement, theres a yellow header called "5. Payment Schedule and Messages" with a list of items, due dates and amounts. There's also a list of dates and deadlines  here

 You're able to switch courses, cores, tutorials and whatnot starting August 10th (since SOLAR will be closed for undergraduates from July 30th to August 10th).

 It's still on SOLAR, just like when you registered for classes in July: this time however, you'll be able to choose core/tutorial/lab times.

 They very well potentially could be more seats made available when second years pick.  You could also wait until August 11 (when timetables are created), as people often jump in and out of courses then.  Your final course of action would be to contact the faculty and ask for them to open up a seat for you.
