A:  Excuse me?  Is this where I register?  I’d like to sign up for my courses for next semester.

B:  Yes, of course. I need your student ID please.

A:  Here you are.

B:  Okay, Susan. It says here that you are a business major and you are in your second year. Is this information correct?

A:  Yes. I do want to take some additional credits this year to get a minor¹ in psychology².

B:  Sure. That’s not a problem. Do you have the list of courses you want to take this semester?

B:  Yeah, that’s perfect.  What about the subjects for your minor?
