【Notice No.20】Adjusted School-Leaving Procedures due to the Pandemic for 2021 Spring
Ⅰ. In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, graduate students who have arranged to hold their degree examinations in the 2021 Spring and are expected to graduate at the current time will be allowed to extend their graduation deadline up to until November 1, 2021, including finishing their degree examination, a thesis review, all graduation requirements (e.g. international students’ Mandarin credits) and school-leaving procedures. Students who finish all foresaid processes will be viewed as graduates of the 2nd semester of academic year 2020 and do not need to pay the tuition fee of the 1st semester of academic year 2021; on the contrary, students who fail to finish all foresaid processes will have to make up the tuition payment of the 1st semester of academic year 2021. Please arrange your oral defense appropriately in order to finish the forthcoming thesis review and school-leaving procedures in time. The related details regarding oral application (thesis/dissertation submission) have been revised as shown in the following table.
