THANKS IN ADVANCE!

SOLAR is in effect making a timetable for you, but the point of making a timetable in advance is good because one, you'll know how to work through conflicts beforehand, and two, you'll know what times you personally want to make it work for you.

Doing this, you'll be prepared for when we're able to choose cores/tutorials on SOLAR, instead of risking the chance of your desired times being filled up before you know what hit ya. :]

At least, that's the way I look at it.

This would be a sample. And no you can switch the cores that SOLAR generates for you! As logn as there is space in the core you want. An the point of creating a timetable is to make it fit your habits and study schedule best. For example if you hate 8:30 AM classes, don't take a 3 hour lab then. That kinda thing

AM i mistaken or dosent solar reopen for u earlier ( august 11) if u register and pay your fees early?

SOLAR doesn't actually open until the 13th. On the 11th you can access your timetable through MUGSI.

But yes, SOLAR opens on the 13th for you provided that you cleared your fees by the 12th.

Yep.. what Feona said.. But if you haven't confirmed your PA, you lose your seat in those courses.. So maybe that'll open up some spaces

Hmm, yeah if you don't confirm your PA by August 25th you lose your seats.

So guys, that is the magic date. Magic I tell you.

Wait, someone confirm that, since I think that was the date last year. =)

When you say clear your fees, does that mean you have to pay, or just select a payment agreement?

I believe they mean confirmation of your payment agreement (no payment).

Exactly. No need to pay just yet. All you have to do is confirm your agreement.

Another thing; I was checking an old thread on how SOLAR reopened for some people on an earlier date becuase they had confirmed their PA before a certain date. But I don't know when my entrance scholarship is being updated to my account and I don't want to have to wait until SOLAR reopens for everyone to switch around my times

Does anyone know if a "previously registered" student is an upper year student?

You mean your entrance scholarship hasn't shown up yet? Are you in first year? If so, it probably won't show up until late July - early August.

Confirming your PA now doesn't affect the fact that you can still make changes to it. It's better to confirm earlier than later, or you can lose your seat in your courses by the time late August rolls around.

As for 'previously registered' meaning upper year, hmm, I don't think so. I don't remember SOLAR opening up for me at a different time than upper years last year (when it came time for timetable arranging).

Yah I'm in first year so I guess its going to be a long wait for my scholarship to show up *sigh*. Would you suggest waiting until I have rearranged my classes to reconfirm it with the scholarships?

I think prev registered means that you finished all the course selection and PA agreement by the dute dates.. the newly registered people are the ones that come in during the summer and whatnot
