In accordance with the instructions of Ministry of Education, the deadline for 2022 spring thesis/dissertation submission and graduation is postponed to September 30, 2022. However, move-out schedule for students living in dorms complies with regulations of Office of Students Affairs (OSA). Students who pass their thesis/dissertation defense examination and complete the graduation leaving procedures before Sep. 30 should be deemed to graduate in 2022 spring semester. If students are not able to pass their thesis/dissertation defense examination and complete the graduation leaving procedures before Sep. 30, they have to pay the tuition fee for 2022 fall semester, if they haven’t exceeded their study duration.

Students who study in their final semester and are not able to graduate this semester due to COVID-19, for example delayed review process of journal submission or closure of labs for more than one month caused by the pandemic, could apply for extension of their study duration for one semester, which will be granted on a case-by-case basis with relevant documents provided.
