To ensure that all students of the Institute are able to enroll in the courses offered this semester, the Institute Office will open course registration in advance during Stage 1 of the University’s official course selection schedule.

Announcement link:
Course Registration Information for Students, Semester 114-2

Students in the Master’s Program and the In-Service Master’s Program may take up to 6 cross-program credits during their period of study.
Note: Transferred credits are not included in the 6-credit cross-program limit.

Students in their third year or above (including those in the In-Service Master’s Program), please note: if you have already fulfilled the total graduation credit requirement and do not plan to take any courses this semester (including courses from other departments/institutes or inter-university courses), please respond via the following link by February 13: Link

The Institute Office will submit a consolidated application to the University on the grounds of thesis writing for students who will not be taking courses.
Note: Once the application is submitted, no further course enrollment will be allowed.

Notes

1. Minimum enrollment for course offering:
   • Master’s Program: 3 students
   • In-Service Master’s Program: 12 students
     The Institute reserves the right to decide whether a course will be offered if the minimum enrollment is not met.
2. First day of classes:
   Monday, February 23, 2026
3. Class schedule:
   • Master’s Program courses are primarily scheduled on weekdays.
   • In-Service Master’s Program courses are generally scheduled in the evenings and on weekends.
   • The arrangement of alternating-week and biweekly classes shall follow the University calendar.
4. Classroom arrangements:
   Class locations may be adjusted depending on enrollment numbers. If there are any changes to the course arrangements, the teaching assistant will provide further notice.
5. Class locations:
   College of Management B1 classrooms 62X17 and 62X01, the Audiovisual Classroom or Conference Room on the 3rd floor of the New Gymnasium at Shengli Campus.
   If classroom changes occur during the semester, please follow the location arranged by the course instructor.
6. According to Article 4 of the University’s Course Registration Regulations, students may not re-enroll in a course that has already been passed or officially approved for credit transfer. Repeated credits will not be counted toward the minimum graduation credit requirement. Students may also not enroll in courses with schedule conflicts; violations will result in a score of zero for all conflicting courses.
   Example: If a student has already taken or transferred credit for a course such as Introduction to Leisure and Recreation Management, the course may not be taken again. For courses with the same course title, the University will recognize only one of them. If a student takes two identical courses and subsequently lacks sufficient credits for graduation, the student must make up the required credits independently.

Extended-study students and returning students must register through the course registration staff of the offering unit.

   This applies to special circumstances such as course changes (course cancellation by the department/institute, change of instructor, schedule changes), or situations affecting graduation in the current academic year. Students should complete an add-course form as needed and, within the designated period, first obtain the signatures of the course instructor and academic advisor before submitting it to the offering unit office. Once the course is added by the offering unit, students may check “My Class Schedule” in the course registration system.
   The Special Circumstances Course Registration Application Form is attached.

   (4) Course confirmation period:
   March 6, 2026, 09:00 – March 10, 2026, 16:00
   Students must log into the course registration system to confirm their course selections.

   • Students who fail to confirm online may not raise objections later if course registration errors are found.
   • After course confirmation, if over-enrollment is found, students may not apply for withdrawal and may only process an online course drop.
   • Where credit fees are required, no refund will be granted after a course drop.
   • If there are special circumstances such as course changes by the offering unit or issues affecting graduation in the current semester, students must prepare a written statement (no fixed format required) explaining the reasons, sign the application, obtain approval from the course instructor and the Director, and then proceed to the Division of Registration for further approval before handling course registration matters.

   (5) Course drop period:
   March 3, 2026, 09:00 – May 22, 2026, 17:00
   Students who wish to drop a course must do so online. The transcript will show a record of “Course Dropped.” Credit fees already paid will not be refunded.

Important: During the course confirmation period, if over-enrollment is found, students may not apply for withdrawal and may only process an online course drop. The transcript will show a record of “Course Dropped.” If credit fees are required, no refund will be issued. Graduate students must enroll in at least one course.
