  • What is the scholarship amount?

  • If the student applies for leave of absence during the semester, resulting in a shortage of teaching hours for the instructor, how should the matter be handled?

    If the student applied for suspension of study after the course addition/cancellation period, it does not affect the original number of hours which can be redeemed by the instructor.

  • What are course authorization codes?

    1. A course authorization code is generated and printed by the instructor in the Academic Affairs Information System. If a student cannot add a course through the Course Selection System due to special circumstances (e.g., the online quota is full or prerequisites are not met), they may request an authorization code from the instructor. Once approved, the student can use the code to add the course through the system before the add/drop deadline. The issuance, number, and method of distributing authorization codes are determined by each instructor. Students should also pay attention to course quotas and related announcements in the course information. 
    2. Authorization codes are non-transferable. Courses added with authorization codes cannot be dropped, student may only apply for course withdrawal.

  • If a student under thesis supervision takes a leave of absence for the current semester, can the instructor still log the number of hours spent on that particular student for the current semester?

    If the student applied for taking a leave of absence before the course addition/cancellation period of the current semester, the instructor may not redeem the hours with respect to that student; if the student applied for taking a leave of absence after the course addition/cancellation period, it does not affect the original number of hours which can be redeemed by the instructor.

  • Can supervision hours provided to a student from another department be redeemed?

    Yes, the hours can be redeemed.

  • Can thesis supervision for continuing education students be counted as teaching hours?

    Teaching hours for continuing education classes cannot be included as a part of the instructor's basic teaching hours; therefore thesis supervision for continuing education students cannot be calculated as teaching hours.

  • If an instructor has taken a leave of absence in the previous semester, how are teaching hours for the next semester calculated?

    According to Paragraph 2 of Article 3 of the "Teaching Hours Guidelines": Instructors may reduce their average teaching hours by up to four hours in one semester and make up to the yearly average in the following semester, provided that such arrangements do not affect the teaching of the curriculum. Instructors who have taken reduced teaching hours must still teach an average of at least two credits (hours) each semester.
