Q
What should I do if I realize I am missing general education credits before graduation?
A
First, check which general education category credits are missing.
- If you are eligible and have taken courses in your double major, minor, or credit program, you can apply to have those courses recognized under the corresponding general education category.
- If the course category does not match or you do not have eligibility, you can enroll in summer courses, including:
- Summer courses offered by the University (for details, please refer to the bachelor summer course registration procedures or contact the Office of the Registrar).
- Inter-university summer general education courses (e.g., SOS! Summer Online Academy, National Summer College, the courses approved for credit recognition by the University). For more details, please refer to the summer course information.
Q
Can an interdisciplinary general education course count toward two different categories at the same time?
A
No. Interdisciplinary general education courses can only be recognized under a single category. During your study period, the course may appear under either of the two relevant categories in the academic system. At graduation, the course will generally be counted toward the category in which you have fewer credits.
Example: If you take an interdisciplinary course covering both social and humanities domains, the system may display it as either “Humanities” or “Social Sciences” while you are enrolled. When calculating graduation credits, if your Social Sciences credits are fewer than Humanities credits, the course will be counted as a Social Sciences credit. If you need to request a change in the recognized category, please contact the Office of the Registration.Q
