  1. Check availability
  2. Click Register
  3. Enter your reason
  4. Submit request
Application Notes — Make a Specific and Persuasive Request
  • Do not write only one or two words. Explain your circumstances in detail: state that you are an exchange/visiting student, why you need the course, and how it is relevant to your study plan.
  • Contacting the instructor by email is strongly recommended. A polite email can help the instructor understand your situation, especially if the course is outside your department or you have a special academic reason for taking it.
  • If the request is unavailable because of academic restrictions or eligibility requirements, contact the course instructor directly for guidance.

Step 2: Approval for Exceptional Course Registration (by Instructor)

Aug 31 (Mon) 11:00 – Sep 4 (Fri) 24:00
  1. Instructors review student requests directly in the system and either approve or reject them.
  2. Once approved, the course is automatically added to the student’s registration.
  3. Rejected requests will display the reason in the system.
  4. If your request is rejected, use the Final Course Registration (Add/Drop) period to look for another course.

Important Notes — Please Read Before You Apply

Approved Courses Cannot Be Cancelled

Once the instructor approves the request, you cannot cancel or drop that course during the Add/Drop period.

Timetable Conflict

If the approved course overlaps even partially with an existing course, the existing course will be removed and replaced by the approved course.

Credit Limit

Your total registered credits, including the approved course, must stay within your maximum allowable credit limit.

Attendance

If the instructor has permitted you to enroll, attend the first class even if the attendance record has not been updated yet. If the record is still missing after registration is confirmed, ask the professor to update or reissue it.

College-Specific Notices

Some colleges may announce additional requirements or procedures. Check relevant announcements regularly.
