Registering for University

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 minor in psychology.

B

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

A

Yeah. Here’s my list. I’m not sure if the class schedule will allow me to take all of them though.

B

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

A

Oh yeah! Almost forgot! I need to take fundamental linguistics, consumer psychology and neuroanatomy.

B

Wow, you are going to be busy this semester! Okay, here you go. You are registered now; you’ll have to make your first tuition payment before classes start.
