Graduation Requirements

Definition of Graduation Qualification Certification

To enhance the quality and competitiveness of graduates, this system identifies essential competencies required by society and encourages students to achieve an appropriate level. Even if students meet the graduation credit requirements, they will not be allowed to graduate unless they satisfy the certification criteria. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be classified as "course-completed" but not "graduated."

Eligibility

Applicable to students admitted in the 2010 academic year or later (including third-year transfer students admitted in 2012).
Exceptions include:
- 1. Students admitted through special admissions for employed individuals, arts and sports talents, or special education categories
- 2. Students who are employed or plan to enter graduate school (including prospective graduate students)
- 3. International students admitted through special admissions are subject to separate regulations

Certification Categories and Criteria

The certification areas and minimum standards for each department/major are specified in [Appendix 1], and the recognized foreign language score conversion table is detailed in [Appendices 2–3]. Official English proficiency test scores or certificates obtained either before or during enrollment (including transfer) are accepted.

Alternative Certification

Students who do not meet the standard certification requirements for their major may fulfill them by completing alternative programs listed in [Appendix 3].
Note: From the 2015 academic year onward, students may only take alternative programs starting from their 6th semester (i.e., 3rd year, 2nd semester).

Eligible Applicants

Students who have fulfilled the graduation qualification certification requirements
Students who wish to graduate early
Course-completed students who meet the requirements
All students from 1st to 4th year may apply
Note: Only one approved application is required to meet graduation requirements

Application Path

OASIS Integrated Information System → One-Stop → Academic Records Management → Graduation Qualification Certification Application

Application Procedure

Log in to the OASIS Integrated Information System
Submit the graduation qualification certification application
Fill in the required information and save
Print the Certification Application Form and obtain a signature from the department chair

Important Notes When Applying

If fulfilling certification through an alternative course, set “Alternative Completion” to “Y” and select the appropriate item (available from 6th semester)
If exempt from the certification requirement, set “Exemption” to “Y” and select the relevant exemption item
Even students completing alternative courses or those eligible for exemptions must apply and submit supporting documents within the deadline
Those exempt due to graduate school admission or employment must also apply in OASIS — failure to do so may result in graduation disqualification
