For Professional Sales and Business Development minors:

See the Professional Sales and Business Minor Course Info Sheet if you can’t get into. a course you believe you should have access to.

1. Check with your advisor to be sure that the Professional Sales and Business Development Minor appears on your profile.

• Note that after we accept you into the minor, you must contact your advisor to update your profile to show that you are indeed “pursuing” the minor, otherwise you will not be able to register for most McCombs courses.
• All sales minor students who are not McCombs majors must take the MKT320F Foundations of Marketing Course as part of their program in PS&BD.
• If you have not yet taken this course, you will not be able to enroll in most McCombs elective courses. Take the MKT320 course first.
• PS&BD minor students who are also enrolled as McCombs BBA majors must take the MKT337 or MKT337H Principles of Marketing.

2. A limited number of seats are held in most courses that satisfy the PS&BD Minor. These are held during the first registration period. If you cannot get into a McCombs course during the first registration period, it is likely because the PS&BD Minor seats have already been taken. Many courses have an automatic waitlist. Use the waitlist if you can’t initially get in.

3. After the first registration period, all remaining empty seats become available to qualified students. To be qualified, as always, you must meet pre-requisites for courses (including, in most cases, having taken MKT320F or MKT337). If you did not get into a course in the first registration period, you should try to register again during the second registration period.

4. There is a third registration period that opens when classes start. If you are not enrolled in a course required for the minor, this is the time to do so. For questions about enrollment in McCombs courses, email the BBA Registration Office.

• In your email, provide the following:
  • EID
  • Indicate that you are enrolled in the Professional Sales minor
  • Course name
  • Course unique number

Many of our course numbers are formatted as MKT178, MKT372, etc. These are not specific enough. You will need to provide the unique number for the course. You can find unique course numbers at the Registrar’s Office.
