Choosing a Plan
Students who have completed 24 units or more must participate in the Program/Plan selection process in May. This involves choosing the area of study (Plan) that you wish to pursue. This year, Plan Selection runs from
May 15 - May 26.
To request your Program/Plan, you will need to log into your Student Centre in SOLUS. Program/Plan Selection is NOT first-come first-served and you may access the page as often as you wish.
Please keep in mind, though, that each time you are accepted into a Plan, a record of that change will be recorded on your student record and transcript.
