 Is this true? There are over 25,000 undergrads at Mac, PLUS grad students who take undergrad courses. Wow. Mac really fails at anything with an online component.

 Rofl oh damn, I just realized/checked your last name...
 
Yeah man SC2, so good...really gets your APM up there ready to attack SOLAR...though I think the BW players/asians/same thing have the advantage :(

		 1) Go to Mugsi 
2) Go view grade report / timetable to enter MacID, (so Mugsi don't ask for it) 
3) Match the location of the popup window's "Close this window" button with >MUGSI. 
4) while (notLoggedIn) CLICK();  
5) You logged in.

 I wouldn't be surprised. They've probably tried to let more students in before, which probably resulted in the 10 hour crash 3-4 years ago.

 Is it really that hard to get enough servers or whatever (I will come off as extremely ignorant in this post *is a non-tech person*) to accommodate enough students? I'm sure money shouldn't be an issue, what with a fund especially for MUGSI which I never knew existed until someone mentioned it...
 
EDIT: OMG, just realized the repurcussions of a 10 hour crash. Now who would go to bed not knowing when MUGSI will be up again, and still having to select courses? Wow.

 Or you can hover your mouse over the spot where the "x" comes up when you are disallowed and push "enter" after clicking MUGSI once.
 
Also before starting to try to log in open a separate tab and type your password then copy it (ctrl+c) so when you need to log in all you need to do is type your macid hit tab and ctrl+v to log in

		 I just put on Star Wars on one of my monitors at home, and just kept copying and pasting the URL for mugsi in a new window on google chrome until something popped up.

 There was a huge discussion about MUGSI in the past, someone said that it's not so simple.

 Actually if you quickly press tab, then spacebar you will activate the close window button in the full dialog and have no chance of accidently closing the gateway window    
When you get good at it you can basically be hitting both buttons at the same time.
