FAQs
Q
After transferring departments, or adding a double major or minor, I found that some general education courses I previously took are now excluded for students in my current program. Can these still count toward my graduation general education credits? Also, if I transfer to a department exempt from the Information Literacy requirement, can the previously completed Information Literacy credits still count?
A
According to Article 6 of the University’s Regulations on Double Majors and Minors: courses taken before obtaining eligibility for a double major or minor, even if they are excluded for students in the new program, will still be counted toward graduation general education credits. Previously completed Information Literacy credits will be retained and can count toward graduation credits. Conversely, if you transfer from a department exempt from Information Literacy to one that requires it, you must make up the required credits.
Q
Regarding the maximum number of general education credits that can be recognized across different combinations, if I have a minor and also a credit program, how many general education credits can be recognized?
A
The total number of recognized credits across all categories is capped at 9 credits. Please refer to the National Chengchi University General Education Credit Recognition Guidelines.
Q
I was originally in Department A, then added Department B as a double major and plan to graduate from Department B, while my original department becomes a minor. How can I apply for recognition of general education credits?
A
You must first apply at the Registration Office for “Double Major to Primary Major” status. Then, you can use courses from your original Department A (now a minor) for general education credit recognition. Please note that if you want to change your original department to a minor, you must complete at least two-thirds of the required minor credits to be eligible. For detailed rules, please refer to the University’s regulations on double majors and minors.
Q
I was originally in Department A, then transferred to Department B and plan to graduate from Department B. Can I use the required courses from Department A to fulfill my general education credits?
A
No. If you wish to use Department A’s required courses to fulfill general education credits, you must first apply to have Department A as a double major or minor. Then review the required courses table for the double major or minor, as well as the general education categories recognized for the double major or minor. Use the required and elective courses listed in the table to determine the corresponding general education credits.
