Need Program Information
My MacAccess account won't recognize my username and password, so I don't know the exact specifications of my Social Science Level I program. I know it isn't co-op. Can anyone give me these specifications or just link me to the relevant sources to find out the right information?

Type of Program, Number of weeks in program, Tuition, Compulsory fees, Books and equipment

Have you tried just logging into MUGSI instead?

Books & Equipment you won't know until the book list comes out.

What does "per unit" mean with regards to calculating tuition and supplementary fees?

It increases with the number of course you take. If you take ten half year (3 unit) courses, it's multiplied by 30.

That depends on your program, and what courses you're taking. Buying things like a labcoat, stethoscope, etc will make it higher, but taking courses that share a textbook (like Chem 1A03 and 1AA3) will make it lower. At a rough guess, $80 per class?

I try to have about $1000 ready, in case something comes up (lockers are like $30, and I need one since I commute). First year's expensive (at least in science) because you need to buy labcoats, goggles, etc. that you can use for the rest of your degree.

You can use your student card as a credit card if you have too, though I recommend you don't.

If you do use your student card as a credit card, you should only use it at the beginning/middle of the month and pay it off 3 business days before the last day. The last day of the month is when interest gets charged.

What's the process for getting a locker? Is it something you have to do online and over the summer or could it be done in person during the school year?

You go down to the hole in the wall (near titles in CNH - you sell old books here) to get a locker in person.
