Student activity and enrollment policies

Course Registration
  • the university opens course registration for students for a period of 4 weeks each semester. The registration dates for courses can be found in the academic calendar on the university’s website. Course registration is available on a first-come, first-served basis. This applies except for the first semester for new students at the university.
  • Notes on Course Registration, the university aims to accommodate all registration requests. When considering the number of courses to be taken in each semester, students are reminded to carefully consider their other commitments outside the university when creating their schedules.
  • Changing Registration in a Course or Withdrawing: Students are responsible for managing their time at the university and balancing their studies with their other commitments. After the start of the semester, students can adjust their academic workload by changing their course registration or withdrawing from a course by following the procedures outlined in this section. Students who drop or withdraw from courses frequently are encouraged to contact the relevant program advisors.
  • Course Drop/Add Period: Students may change their course registration during the first week of the semester without any university penalty. Dropping a course during this time will not appear on the student’s transcript, nor will it affect their cumulative GPA.
  • Requests for changing course registration must be submitted using a specific form through the online student portal or by visiting student affairs. Students are advised to refer to the academic calendar to determine the final day for changing course registration each semester.
  • Course Withdrawal: Students can also officially withdraw from a course after the registration period, but they must do so within the first four weeks of the semester. Course withdrawal differs from dropping a course in that the course will be listed on the student’s transcript.
  • Students who withdraw from a course during the first four weeks of the semester face the following:

The student receives a “W” grade in the course, and the “W” grade appears on the transcript. The “W” grade does not affect the student’s semester or cumulative GPAs.
