What is an Interdisciplinary Major?

Grade Correction

  • Period: Within the prescribed period each semester
  • Reasons:
    • ① If an error is confirmed during the computer processing.
    • ② A valid reason is required.
  • How to apply:
    • ① Consult with the professor in charge of the subject.
    • ② Unified Information System - Apply for grade objection - Approval by the professor and the department - Grade correction after approval by the academic affairs department.
    • ③ If there is no reason to correct the grade after applying for a grade objection, the professor can reject it.

Retaking Courses

  • Courses with dropped grades and F (failure) can be retaken during the regular semester or summer/winter session.
  • Additional tuition fees must be paid for retaking courses.
  • Students are allowed to retake courses they previously completed with a grade of C+ or lower. They can earn up to an A grade, and the previously earned grade will be invalidated.
  • Only 6 credits can be retaken in one semester.
  • Courses retaken are distinguished with an R from the originally taken courses.

Grade Certificate

  • Discontinuation of issuing different grade certificates.
  • From the first semester of 2014, it's not possible to issue a grade certificate excluding F grades.
    • (Excluding F grades for credits earned until the second semester of 2013)
  • Retaking courses is allowed for grade management, so use retakes for poor grades.
  • Retaking courses is possible regardless of grades, but it will be recorded as the most recent grade. It's marked as a retaken course (R) on the grade certificate, so be careful with grade management.
  • F grades are always included in the certificate from the first semester of 2014.

Grade Evaluation and GPA

Grade Evaluation Method

  • Academic grades are out of 100 points while Attendance 10~20%, Assignments 10~20%, and Regular Assessment 60~80% can be used for evaluation. However, intermittent evaluations can be conducted within 30% of regular evaluations if needed.
    For certain subjects like experiments, practicals, or similar, the evaluation method can be set differently.

Grade Evaluation Criteria

  • Relative evaluation is the basic principle for grading.
  • Relative evaluation started from the first semester of 2010.
  • Changes in the relative evaluation ratio
    • For major subjects, grades of A or higher should be within the top 30%, but the combination of A and B grades should not exceed 70%.
    • For general subjects, grades of A or higher should be within the top 25%, but the combination of A and B grades should not exceed 70%.
      (Started from February 2014)
      Exceptions include subjects with less than 10 students, S/U marked subjects, summer/winter sessions, and other cases deemed necessary by the head of academic affairs.

Average GPA Calculation

Grade GPA Chart
Classification Calculation Method
Average GPA Method Sum of (GPA of registered subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total registered credits (Including F grades)
Sum of (GPA of registered subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total earned credits (Excluding F grades)
Cumulative GPA Method Sum of (GPA of earned subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total registered earned credits (Including F grades)
Sum of (GPA of earned subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total earned credits (Excluding F grades)
Percentage Calculation Sum of (Actual score of registered subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total registered credits (Including F grades)
Actual Average Score Method Sum of (Actual score of earned subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total earned credits (Excluding F grades)
Cumulative Actual Average Score Method Sum of (Actual score of earned subjects × Credits of the subject) / Total earned credits (Excluding F grades)
In case the average GPA is the same
Ranking Determination		 1. The person with a higher total score.
2.If the total score is the same, the rank will be same.

* Rounded to the third decimal place.

※ Notes

  • a. Subjects marked as S, U are excluded from the average GPA calculation.
    (Field training, special lectures, prerequisite courses, seminars, language training, community service subjects, and training semester)
  • b. From the first semester of 2007, teacher certification department (or major) credits are excluded from earned credits, total score, and GPA.
    (Teacher certification department (or major) - Multimedia Department Photography and Film major, Tourism Department Tourism Management major, Nursing Department)

Academic Warning

  • a. Academic warnings are issued to students whose average GPA is below 1.5 every semester.
  • b. When an academic warning is given according to item "a", it's immediately notified to the individual, guardian, and the head of the department.
  • c. The head of the department and the academic advisor can limit the number of credits for students who received an academic warning.
  • If a student receives academic warnings continuously for 3 times or 4 times in total and is deemed unable to continue studying, they may be expelled after a review by the grade evaluation committee.
  • Students who have consulted with their academic advisor are allowed to register for courses, but they cannot exceed 15 credits. However, if they have completed the university's academic warning support program at least once, they can register up to 18 credits.
