Updated Date:2024-08-19 Number of Views:72

1. Please refer to the Office of Academic Affairs course selection announcement (updated every semester, available in both Chinese and English). In principle, course selection follows the “preference registration and computer lottery system.”

If you are not in the categories listed below, please participate in the third-stage preference registration. If students drop courses or instructors open additional quotas, there is still a chance to be allocated to the desired course.

2. Department add-course (add signature) schedule and eligible students:

Week 1 of the semester (excluding Friday)
(Third-stage online course selection: 9/6 09:00 – 9/12 17:00)

This period is for:

- Summer transfer students (with admission notice)
- Department transfer students (based on admission list)
- Early reinstated students (with proof of approval)
- Graduate students on waiting list after second-stage selection (with official backup admission notice)
- Students blocked from enrolling due to prerequisite restrictions in the system

Week 3 of the semester (excluding Thursday and Friday)
(Final stage for special course selection: 9/23 09:00 – 9/25 17:00)

This period prioritizes:

- Course changes due to administrative adjustments (course cancellation, instructor change, schedule change)
- Students whose graduation requirements are affected or who do not meet the minimum credit requirement of 9 credits per semester

Other add-course requests will be processed according to instructor approval and departmental regulations.

* Course add/drop and lottery allocation are conducted until class capacity is reached, but not on a first-come-first-served basis.

3. Add-course form:

Department of Life Sciences website → Undergraduate Program → Undergraduate Forms (all forms from first to fourth year students are available here)

4. Add-course procedure (paper application only):

Preferred method: Please contact the course instructor (marked with *) and complete the add-course form.

Alternative method: Obtain a printed form from the department office or download it from the website → have it signed or stamped by the instructor → submit it to the department office.

* Please ensure the form is fully completed before submission.
