Confirming Major
Hey,

I'm not sure if this is answered somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

Anyways, how do you pick and/or confirm your major? When I got my grades back, it listed all the majors I could qualify for. I figured that I would just be automatically enrolled in the one that was obviously my first choice. Then I got a letter from Labour Studies saying they wanted to accept me into their program if I wanted it.

When SOLAR opens, does it have a place for you to select? I'm only really asking because the letter I got seemed extremely urgent and told me to get back to them NOW if I wanted in (which I don't...).

Thanks,
Steff.

When you sign upfor courses a thing will pop up and tell you to choose which you want to be in that you're eligible for

Your confirmation of program actually occurs before you pick classes. And its the same every year...except in upper years you don't go through the selection process unless you have to re-apply for honours.

SOLAR may ask you to confirm the major as a first step. It'll have an option showing all the majors you're eligable for and you pick one.
