Hi I’m a first year student applying for OSAP
So I am planning to take psychology, neuroscience and behaviour (social sciences), but OSAP doesn’t have this. Instead it have psychology (social sciences) and social psychology. Should I pick the 1st one or also it doesn’t allow me to write out the courses because it's too long.
I was thinking about checking social psychology because when I was applying to universities through OUAC I chose social psychology, but now I want to take PNB.

Technically, you're not in that program since you're in first year. At the end of first year, you will have to apply for PNB. For now, on osap you have to put social science lv 1.

Find the one closest to what you're actually in. The purpose is so the government knows how much your tuition costs.
OSAP still thinks I'm in chemistry

I'm fairly certain when the government asks McMaster for the information (tuition, book cost, etc...) they'll also be told what program you are in.

You're going into Social Science Level 1 (that's what your acceptance letter says, no?) So put that down as your program....

I got a similar question about SOLAR. Later on will it generate timetable for us or do we have to look at the undergraduate calendar? Because I have two courses that are on the same time when I check there. On solar it doesn't indicate any conflicts and says all pass. PLEASE HELP

The system will generate a conflict free timetable for you.

There is no first-year psychology program. You're not in psychology. Trying to tell them that you are will only cause problems.
The reason OUAC asked you for a specialization is so Mac can get a feel for future numbers. You aren't guaranteed admission into that program, nor do you have to apply for it. |

I responded to this question on another thread. There's no need to post it off-topic in multiple places. |
