To: Whoever was thinking about skipping work & has done so.
I know I'm kinda late in saying this, but you probably should've gone. :/

why cant UTS have us make changes to SOLAR like we did in July for adding courses?
That way all the upper can finish up quickly and the first-ies can brawl over whats left on their day and prevents a massive spike in usage.

EXACTLY!!! During my 3 hours of waiting this morning, that is the exact thought that went through my mind. Why are the upper years having to wait, when we all know exactly what we are doing to our timetables and only take a minimal amount of time, while the first years spend a huge chunk of the 45 minute limit humming and hawing over what they can tinker with. It would be much better to organize it as you said, and allow the upper year students to go prior to the freshmen. Would make so much more sense in my opinion

jon.john23, Swampis like this.

Also our classes are pretty much confined to our program. Its not like we take alot of classes that are taken by the first years. Although there are exception, how many are we talking about? 15 to 20 ppl?

ill take those numbers back. Didn't think about the ppl in science and couple other faculties. Then that number should be larger but not insanely unmanageable.

It's operating smoothly now - haven't been booted out. You should be able to get in *finger's crossed*

Edit: I got kicked out many times when using Chrome. Firefox worked for me.

I've been on since 8:10 am and you know it wouldn't even let me in lol
Went to my Tai Chi practice and came back, now it's 2:05 pm and no luck and I thought things would lighten up when I return. Ironically you log in into MUGSI and you find this picture of a group of happy joyful students sitting together, well you know what this picture doesn't match the website's status at all cause this brings nothing but frustration >_<
