Program/Plan Selection (AKA Choose your Major)
What is plan selection
Faculty of Arts and Science
• In your first year of study most of you were “undeclared”.• Exceptions: Fine Art, Music and Kinesiology students.
• As you enter your 2nd year, you now need to decide what program and plan (major) you want to pursue.
But how do I figure out what I want to study or
if I am eligible?
Faculty of Arts and Science
Plan Selection… (aka Choose your major)
Be Informed

I’ve decided on my major…now what?
• Access SOLUS any time between May 11 and 22 to request your plan.

Let’s get started by signing in to your SOLUS Student Centre.

If you meet the Automatic Acceptance criteria for the plan you
requested, you will be immediately registered in that plan.
Pending List
Faculty of Arts and Science
• Being placed on a pending list means that the department
will manually assess your request after the plan selection
period closes on SOLUS.
• If you are placed on a pending list you will be notified
that you need to be automatically accepted into an
alternate plan.
Faculty of Arts and Science
Enter Alternate Program
Enter Alternate Plan

• Following the plan selection period in SOLUS,
departments will assess pending list requests from May

be changed from your pending list plan to your new plan
immediately.

remain in your alternate plan.
