Students must select courses in accordance with the procedures of course selection, adding
and dropping course, course correction, and 2nd course withdrawal

1. Course selection: students must log onto the system to enroll courses. To log onto the
course selection system, they must enter their Student ID numbers, Identification Card
numbers (international student, birth dates, and passwords). Students can change their
passwords after logging onto the system. If courses must be selected manually, they have
to be enrolled by manual operation.

1st semester: Concurrent students should enroll courses during the end of the previous
semester. New students please refer to Academic calendar for course selection
schedule.
2nd semester: All students must enroll courses during the end of the first semester.
1.2 The system will enroll required courses automatically for each class onto the student
course selection reports. While enrolling in courses, students should follow the
“Guidelines for Course selection Verification on the system ” (see Appendix #1) and
log onto the system to enroll courses. If students do not intend to take the required
courses loaded by system, they can drop the courses via system. However, they are
not allowed to select that courses opened for other classes in the same academic
year.
1.3 Except for special reasons, course sizes in every department should not exceed 55
students. If over 90 students select course, it is within the discretion of the department
to open an additional section for that course.
1.4 During the period of course selection via system, in principal, there is no limit to
enrollment numbers for each class. However, due to restrictions created by limited
equipment or facility space, General Studies Courses and Elective Foreign Language
Courses may be restricted to a limited size in advance.
Note 1：Courses with quota will be open for enrollment for seven days from the first
day of course selection. Once the enrollment period ends, the system will
process random allocation for those courses. Allocation results will be
released on bulletin boards of the departments offering these courses.
During the period from released date to course selection deadline, students are
still allowed to select these courses.
Note 2: Undergraduates can not select postgraduate courses during the Course
selection period. If undergraduates intend to take postgraduate courses, they
should enroll during the course add/drop period.
Note 3: During the course selection period, students of the four-year undergraduate
program should not take more than 3 General Studies courses; students of the
two-year undergraduate program should not take more than 2 General Studies
courses.
