   However, the department's administrative committee may decide to retake the comprehensive exam.

- Foreign language exams passed during enrollment are recognized as valid.

- Students granted extension by the Graduate School Committee must pay the prescribed tuition fee (12% of the tuition) each semester to take the qualifying exam and submit the thesis.

  ※ However, an additional re-enrollment fee is charged for the first semester of entry.

  ※ Special admission students must pay tuition during the regular registration period each semester.

- Extension requests for the thesis submission deadline are permitted only once. The thesis must be submitted and approved within two semesters, including the approved semester.

- If the assigned advisor retires during enrollment, the student must change their advisor to a currently employed faculty member.
