Unbelievable. I got in real quick, then it tells me I can't get into Solar because I didn't click on the link in MUGSI. HOW ELSE CAN I GET INTO SOLAR OTHER THAN CLICKING ON IT IN MUGSI YOU STUPIDFACE?

the idea was to get this out of the way early so i could get out to the golf course this morning. I should have known mugsi would have none of that.

Copy and paste the URL? But yeah, sometimes it doesn't make sense. Like you should be able to refresh if the page doesn't load -_-

how... why
How are courses full already, cmst 1a03... I mean first years haven't even registered yet
I am assuming more spots will be opened, on what sched... at 12:01 every day, or do I have to keep trying all day until they open more spots...

The thing is probably locking you out from selecting first year courses right now. Basically you have to wait until the first years get their turn at selecting them, and then you can have whatever seats are left over.

In other word, the full section is a lie.

I think that's because they want second years to have the option of registering for their courses. Once it opens for them in a couple days, try again. I tried to get into Origins 3SS3 and it rejected me.

Forever alone?

That's good then, as long as SOLAR hasn't become sentient and just hates me personally.

You're in an upper year.

There is a VERY limited amount of seats reserved for upper years in first year classes.
Yes, you MAY very well be one of the first 250 to log on (Solar's limit), but a class of 200 people might have only 10-30 spots reserved for upper years (2nd, 3rd, and 4th year) before the first years are allowed to register.

(These numbers are just random. The point is, it's a very small %)

I wouldn't waste too much time checking until the spots open up. Unless you know someone in your year dropping it.

Yeah, it's best to try when SOLAR opens up for everyone after sectioning.
