If you don't mind me asking, which electives?
I'm desperately trying to avoid Anthropology because it's later in the day and I don't want to commute one hour in the biting frost and dark.

for payment agreement, how come Mcmaster scholarship box is blocked? and since osap is still pending, do i still check that off?

Can you check off the OSAP box? Even if you can you'll most likely have to re-confirm once you get your statement.

McMaster might not have given out the scholarships yet.

Just tentatively accept your payment agreement as is, and when OSAP and the McMaster Scholarship become available, go back in and check them off and re-accept your payment agreement.

I’m expecting a scholarship but the system won’t let me use this option.
You must received confirmation from Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office before you can use this option. The amount will be credited to your student account and then you can use this option. If, after having received confirmation, you are still having difficulty, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships to verify your scholarship status.

From the Payment Agreement FAQ's.
I put down the scholarship amount that I was receiving on OSAP...because I graduated in January and my marks wouldn't change from the time of the offer of admission...so I hope that comes through.

The scholarship option usually becomes available by August.

so i just click the osap box for now and the payment option thing and confirm it? and later on re-confirm once evrything is there.

Yep, you can re-confirm as much as you want. If ever something changes, like you receive a scholarship before school starts then you can re-confirm your payment agreement.

thanks so much and when is the last date for the payment agreeent?

I don't know, but you should confirm ASAP. Like I said re-confirming is not an issue, but you want to be registered with the university and to be registered means confirmation of the payment agreement.

It's like that. Mostly because some people may only be able to take 1 core because of their schedule. Other people may have a selection between 2 or more cores. So if everyone chooses 1 core some people may not be able to take the course, which is totally unfair. It's McMaster's way of putting as many people in as little classes as possible.

basically I want to know how to pick my section thru SOLAR?which i wasn't able to do initially...

You'll receive your Schedule on August 11. If you want to change your schedule around you can log back onto SOLAR August 13 (when it re-opens) and change your sections. HOWEVER, some sections may be full. Don't let it discourage you, keep on trying as people are always switching sections.
