Announcement
Please be informed that the application period for leave of absence/return to school will be changed starting 2016 as follows:
A. Purpose of Revision
1) To minimize the confusion in the lecture atmosphere caused by frequent leave of absence/return to school after the beginning of the semester.
- Due to leave of absence/return to school, the unsettled lecture atmosphere can be caused for a month after the beginning of the semester.
- The unnecessary course registration can be occurred by student expecting to go on leave of absence and may affect other students who need to register for courses.
2) Returning students who fall behind academic schedule may be put at a disadvantage in course registration and grades because they could not take lectures for three weeks.
