Yay! All done. The only thing I have to do now is email Dr Stone from Origins to let him know there wasn't any space for me in the course lol. XD Hopefully I'll get into that tomorrow.

When is the Enable Mac ID Services supposed to open up after you complete all this stuff?

You should be able to enable after 24 hours upon completion of the Payment Agreement.

hey guys. so i actually got into SOLAR by about 12:30, but i have one issue. Med Phys 1E03 failed even though there were no conflicts and i have the prerequisites.

Prerequisite(s): One of MATH 1A03, 1LS3, 1X03 and either PHYSICS 1L03 or Grade 12 Physics U; or credit or registration in ISCI 1A24; or permission of the instructor

i am going to take Math 1LS3 and have grade 12 physics. what could be the problem? the course is in 2nd term, which is also when i'm taking 1LS3. could that be creating the problem? what should i do? should i contact someone?

thanks for any help.

Is it necessary to sign up for all our courses now?
Like is it on a first come first serve basis?
If I sign up on SOLAR tomorrow, would it make a difference?

Because this is seriously tiring me out -_- Refreshing every minute...

That is the problem. You have to complete all the prerequisites BEFORE you take the course (unless stated otherwise by "registration in")

Courses are on a first come first serve basis, but you are guaranteed seats in your required courses.

Apparently some schools have worse systems.

How is that even possible? Do they ask students to mail in their course selections?

It's even worse since it's the entire undergrad that is trying to access SOLAR. I think it crashed last year.

Maybe smaller and slower servers? Maybe they don't have different opening days for different faculties and years?

I don't think I'd mind not having a rolling entry into SOLAR. I'd rather try my luck getting in with 20,000 students trying and actually having a shot at getting my electives, versus knowing that my electives would be taken by the time I even have a chance to register.

Okay. So what I should be most worried about are the electives right?
>_< I hate this.

Yeah, but then there are more chances that the server crashes...
