Quick question regarding the undergraduate calendar... - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

I completed my schedule + confirmed it back on July 3rd. So now it's already July 12th and I still cannot access my personal time table...I couldn't access it yesterday and still can't today.

Once I click the >Undergraduate Personal Timetables link...

I am shown

Please select the Personal Timetable you would like to view
Undergraduate 200909 Session

So I click..and then it tells me "You do not have access to view the Personal Timetable"

Could anyone help me out?

Since this thread is about personal timetables, I would like to ask;
As a first year, when you're desperately competing for time slots...what time slots for what courses fill up fast?

I.e. I know with SOLAR, I did my electives first even though they were core sciences and not as popular as Kinesiology for example.

What issues do people tend to run into when they're picking time slots?

Well at first SOLAR generates your timetable for you. But I'm assuming you mean after that. My guess is the 8:30 AM classes would definitely be empty. And the 10:30, 11:30 classes, and maybe even 12:30 would be the most popular.. With the evening classes .. or the late-afternoon ones being less popular of course.. That's what I've heard from asking all the Mac students/former students I know

Also, afternoon labs tend to fill up fast. For General Chemistry, Lock's lectures fill up really fast.

That's the only good thing about some classes only having one core this year, you're guaranteed to have that timeslot. Otherwise, it sucks if it's at 8:30 or if the class is full because of less cores.

I hate having only 1 core. It limits the option of having a great schedule. Having 1 core is almost guaranteed for a bad schedule :( Mine is pretty bad this year :(

8:30s aren't that bad. I prefer them over 5:30s by far.

I think I might be the only one. =p

:/ I feel you. My schedule worked out well, even though I still have 8:30's which I hate with a passion. Here's to hoping third year is a little bit better, but since classes are smaller then, I'm not quite sure it will be.

Hard to tell, I don't think 5:30s fill up quickly. It's usually the ones around lunch time, 10:30, 11:30, 1:30 that fill up faster.

What time of day does SOLAR reopen for time table management?

07-12-2009 at 09:28 PM

Hrrm, I'm guessing 12:01 AM like always. I will double-check. :]

Edit: Nope! 8:30 AM.

I also prefer 8:30 classes over 5:30 ones because I can usually get my day done with faster and it gives me more time to study after my classes are done for the day. I'm a morning person.
