- 1. Current undergraduate students at partner schools (including admitted first-year students)
- 2. Master's and doctoral students at partner schools
- 3. Students currently enrolled at schools that have not signed an agreement.
The second phase is a "first-come, first-served" system:
- For any remaining spots after the first phase of course selection, please continue to select courses in this phase through the Summer College's online system .
- Courses can be selected as long as there are available spots. The deadline for course selection and payment, as well as the deadline for online withdrawal, is two weeks before the start of each course.
- If you register an account during this period and have not yet completed identity verification, your spot will be reserved until 23:59 on the third day after you submit your course selection (the day of course selection is considered the first day) . Please be sure to upload the aforementioned documents proving your student status within the deadline. Failure to upload the documents by the deadline will be considered as a waiver of your course selection, and your spot will be released.
- If the course is full, please add it to your watchlist/notify me when there are available spots. When spots become available, the system will send an email to all students who have been watching the course. Please log in to the official website as soon as possible to select the course.

(iii) Course limit: You can select multiple courses when registering online, but the total number of courses, including those already paid for and those distributed in the current phase, is no more than 3 .

(iv) Inter-school course selection: Please follow the regulations of each school. If the original school requires additional inter-school (cross-school) course selection, after completing the review process of the original school, please send the paper or electronic version of the inter-school course selection form to our unit, or make an appointment to come to the office on the 4th floor of the Boya Teaching Building. The "Approval by Other Schools" and other fields will be approved by our unit and do not need to be approved by the course teacher or the school offering the course .

VI. Identity Verification:

This involves uploading a photo of both sides of your student ID card with the registration stamp, a certificate of enrollment issued by your school, and your course selection record for the semester, etc. , to facilitate our verification. Please check the system and confirm the verification results. Those who fail the identity verification will not be assigned courses, meaning that no payment slip will be generated for unsuccessful course selection.

VII. Credit/Field of Study:

Whether the credits earned count towards general education credits, and the general education field to which the course belongs, varies among partner schools. Please read the " Credit Information Inquiry " carefully before selecting a course.

Whether the credits earned will count towards general education credits, elective credits, or graduation credits should be inquired with your original school before proceeding with the summer college application process.

Regardless of whether the grades are passing or failing, they will be logged into the internal grade system.

(II) As mentioned above, since the grades have been entered into the school's internal system and will be presented on the transcript, this unit does not allow students from partner schools to apply for course completion certificates . Only students from non-partner schools, students from partner schools taking courses not recognized by their current school, high school students, and prospective first-year university students are allowed to fill out the course completion certificate (grade certificate) application form . (III) Because the grade distribution process involves administrative coordination among multiple schools and departments, the grade entry process is expected to be completed in mid-September, approximately one month after all courses have ended. If students urgently need these credits to apply to overseas schools, take national examinations, or graduate, please be sure to assess and plan your timeline before registering for courses .
