		 Please tell me what to do about this! 
 
SOLAR is not allowing me to select my required math course for Business 1. It says I do not have the academic requisites. I called the faculty 3 hours ago and they transferred my call to the academic advisor but she wasn't at her office, so I left her a message though I highly doubt she will return my call. I have been trying to contact her for 3 weeks but she seems busy and doesn't respond. I have also sent emails to the registrars office, business faculty, science faculty, math department, dean of science, assistant dean, science student advisors, liaisons,... Is there anyone else I can contact about this besides the academic advisor??? My course registration session will end over the weekend and I don't know what to do.

 Did you take math in highschool? (Calc/Data Management)
 
If not, you need to take a certain math course in first semester to allow you to take Math 1M03/Math 1A03 in second semester.

 I would say forget the e-mail approach, and just contact whoever you can by phone. Contact the math faculty by phone and you should be alright. Good luck. :/

 Since Monday is so far away, an e-mail to an adviser wouldn't hurt.

 It's not letting me select any math course at all, not even Math 1F03. I have had calculus and vectors, data management. I'm an international student, I noticed other international students are having the same problem. It's so frustrating how no one at mac is willing to help.

 I have already sent her two e-mails. Also the business faculty told me they forwarded her the email I had sent them about my situation. And today I called and she wasn't at her office, so I left her a voice message.

 Try calling between 9-5 PM EST. Usually from 11-1 they may be out for lunch.
