Obtaining a macpass
Ok so, I'm currently in saudi arabia, and I WAS scheduled to fly back on September 12, but put myself on the waiting list for September 5/6. In light of this, I didn't purchase a macpass online, because I didn't think I would get the September 5/6 flight. But now that I did, I want to buy a macpass (been dying to go to frosh week ). Is there any way for me to get the macpass if i explain my unique situation to mac?

Thanks a lot!!

You can try. Contact FYE: http://fye.mcmaster.ca/contactus.html

I don't know how successful you'll be though. The items are limited, especially t-shirts.

I'm off campus, so I don't think t-shirts will be an issue. Thanks for the contact!! Also, can I still join SOCS....or is that just automatic for off campus students? Thanks again!

It's a $5 membership fee, and I'm 99% sure you can do it during WW

Yes you can still join SOCS, I personally don't know how though. But you can talk to your reps during welcome week.

Well, you get 1 Faculty T-Shirt and 1 SOCS T-Shirt and all the swag from both. They could run out of stuff, but you can still ask FYE if you can have a discounted MacPass just so that you can attend the events and what-not.

That's a pretty good guess, makes sense.

That's one of the times, but I'm pretty sure it's not the only time, so don't worry if you miss out there...like Jeremy said, just talk to your reps

They are the people that will guide you through welcome week. They will force the McMaster spirit into you until you can't stop chanting XD

Reps are hyperactive people in colourful jumpsuits who pretty much run WW They're upper year students who help ease the transition into university. You have faculty reps, Maroons (Mac reps) and res/SOCS reps
