K so during 44 mins of my time being in SOLAR i got kicked off the very last second before clicking that button after verifying those courses, just wondered if it saved my data, cause im really stressing out how all the courses are getting full and having a difficult time getting back in.

I'm sorry to say, but I doubt it saves. You have to click the button after verifying prerequisites and conflicts.

Edit: Try again right now, SOLAR is about to close. It closes from 3am to 3:30am.

so i went on solar at like 2:56.. and i chose around 5 courses and before 3:00 a.m. i pressed the verify button and theen applyed requisites, a window popped up listing those 5 courses, and something about payment.... i just got scared tere cause am i still able to add more courses to those 5? or did i just screw myself over only registering for 5 courses?

You can add more. You can drop and add courses for the 7 days alloted. After that time, you'll have to wait until July 13th (for one day) and then August 13th onwards.

THANK GOD, so im going back on 3:30

lol aw man.. this solar thing is a pain in the butt for everybody...

Just wait till the schedules are released... thats just horrible.

Hey man, 45 minutes is a long time lol. Make sure you are prepared next time you go on, so that you're done in less than 10 minutes - especially so that other people can get on.

Once you get the hang of the system, you realize how little time course selection takes and in contrast how long it actually takes to get in to actually pick your courses.

i dont understand.. there are more things to get through after this?

Basically, know what courses you're going to pick before you start your SOLAR session. That way you get through it faster, and you don't risk losing all your choices.

The only thing you have to after picking your courses on SOLAR is to accept your payment agreement.

THINGS TO NOTE:

- You have 7 days from the first time you login to solar to pick and EDIT course choices
- Once you pick courses you need to do two things... VERIFY/CHANGE FOR CONFLICTS, which is the first button, and then once you do that you need to CONFIRM your choices which brings up the payment box and the list of the ones you picked. Only when you do that 2 step process does it 'lock in' your classes. If you close the window you lose everything. Also, if you reach the time limit before pressing both those buttons, you lose everything you did DURING THAT SESSION
- If you pick say... 3-4 courses and don't want to lose them, you can click the two buttons to verify and confirm those 3-4 courses and 'lock them in' and then just close the window and RELOGIN to mugsi/solar and continue where you left off. That way, those 3-4 courses you picked and confirmed already will never get erased if you reach the time limit, only the ones you add on or edit during your sessions after that
- You NEED TO COMPLETE THE PAYMENT AGREEMENT as soon as possible so that the system makes a conflict-free timetable FOR you. If you don't do it before Aug 2nd... then you have to make your own conflict-free timetable which is a pain in the butt.
