Social Insurance Number.

When you go to Mugsi, go to My Profile and then Social Insurance Number.

But yeah, I was actually confused. It wasn't the e-mail that needed the SIN but you need to enter your SIN if you want to receive a scholarship, bursary or grant from McMaster and/or to receive OSAP.

After I confirmed my PA, I waited for one day and then was able to enable the MAC ID services. And when I logged into mac email, it only allowed me to send email, but refused to received any email, LOL. But the email got all the functions working well the next day~

Plus, I didn't enter my SIN in the system, do I have to do that?

Just noticed it, thank you for the information! I will do it right now.

Update: WOO~~I never enter my SIN in the system, but when I went to MUGSI, I found my SIN was right there. I guess that because I've sent my osap documents to the office and they helped me add this information.

So should I be leaving it at 3 courses until August to see if anything else has opened up? and is there nothing we can do until solar re opens?
Like jhan523 said, you should try and choose other electives for now just in case.

SOLAR will open July 13th as well for everyone, for last minute changes, drops and adds. So, a course might open up provided that someone drops it. I think you can still change on August 13th, but might as well take up both opportunities.

Unfortunately, many of us are in similar situations and there is not much we can do about electives. You will be able to get into your required course for sure, you just have to wait for the seat to open up.

Yeah, try on both days. You can also keep on trying from August 13th all the way to September 21st.

It might still be loading though. Check the status bar. But yeah... it'll be really slow. It might take as much as a minute to load a page :\
