Implementation of the “Academic Year 2025 Semester 1 Diligence Education (I) and (II) Make-up Courses”

The originally scheduled in-person classes for Diligence Education (I) during Period 0.5 every Sunday and Diligence Education (II) during Period 1 every Sunday have been canceled.

Notes:

I.

1. Since “Diligence Education (I)” and “Diligence Education (II)” were abolished starting from Academic Year 2024, these courses do not apply to first-year students admitted in Academic Years 2024 and 2025.

2. Students admitted before Academic Year 2023 (inclusive), including transfer students, who failed Diligence Education (I) or (II) are still required to complete the courses. Students who need to retake the courses must enroll during the online add/drop period.

II.

Each course carries 0 credits and 0.5 class hours.
18 hours × 0.5 credit = 9 hours of coursework.

III. Course Format This Semester

Although the courses are scheduled on Sundays at 07:00 and 08:00, students only need to attend the first session, which introduces the course and grading methods.

First Session: Friday, September 12, 2025, at 17:30 (online class)

VI. Course Registration Reminder
