Sloan Bidding

As a general rule, students must pre-register and bid for every Sloan subject they wish to take the following term. Sloan students receive a higher bidding priority than other MIT students to ensure they will be able to complete their programs.

Students enrolled in the Minor in Management will be given Sloan student priority for Sloan subjects that are required for the minor and for the recommended electives listed above. They will receive the priority of interdepartmental students for all other Sloan subjects.
