Don't you guys have like a month to do this? Seriously.

Anyway, you'll be put into the three year (non-Honours) general program. You'll either have to apply for Honours next year or try to talk to someone.

I switched to a program that I didn't intially pick on SOLAR/MUGSI in June.

As long as your marks are good and there's still space you shouldn't have a problem.

What faculty are you in? I suggest you go to your faculty office as soon as possible to try and see if you can sign up for a few programs. I know quite a few people who got into programs they didn't even apply to when they changed their mind and emailed the departments during the summer. But anyway, the earlier you do it the better!

i also ended up going into a major i didn't pick on solar either. They were really nice about it, just go talk to them, I didn't talk to them until August and I still got into the prog i wanted. Like Lois said, if you have good marks- it shouldn't be a problem.

Naw, it was for first year students picking what they want to go into for second year.

Can someone please clarify something for me? In March/April we applied for four majors and by the end of May, they let us know whether or not we'd be eligible to enter the program for second year but we don't have to confirm our choice until we pick courses correct?

You can't confirm your choice until you pick your courses. When you log onto SOLAR it's the page before the course selection page.
