I didn't think MacPasses COULD sell out. Isn't the whole point to try and get every student to experience it?

Only a certain number are ordered because they don't want to have additional merchandise that they can't pay the cost of/store/get rid of later in the year.

Your best bet is to ask at the MacPass table -- there Faculty Wide Welcome Week Planner should be there, as should at least one other faculty planner.

If you really want one you can always apply for a similar faculties macpass. They run out of t-shirts and the free stuff thats why supplies are limited.

Curious... just because there's not enough SWAG for everyone, wouldn't it be smart of the FYEO to allow sales of wristbands for all first years?? Oh wait... the FYEO isn't exactly smart...

I think they already do have a system like that in place. For everyone whose faculty has run out of MacPasses they can still buy a Residence only MacPass, the only thing they don't get is faculty swag; its also slightly cheaper! I'm pretty sure they announced that at training yesterday(FYEO people)

I guess as long as they see that you're wearing one of those wristbands, you should be good. You will miss out on your faculty t-shirt though which everyone else will be wearing.

Although Kin is actually part of the Faculty of Science, in terms of Macpasses, Kin students get their own.
