Q&A

1. What are the necessary documents and application procedure for school suspension? 
Please download the Academic Suspension Application Form at the Registry section of the website, follow the required steps at relevant offices for academic suspension, and return the student ID card to the Registry office. A notice of Academic Suspension will be mailed to you 2-3 weeks after it has been approved.

2. What is the deadline to request academic suspension?
If an application for suspension is filed before the registration day, it will not be necessary for the applicant to pay tuition or course fees.  (Students can only apply for suspension after they have registered for the first semester.)  The procedure should be completed before the application due date scheduled on the school calendar.

3. What is the longest duration of academic suspension?
Suspension duration: Students are able to apply for suspension from 1-2 semesters (one academic year) each time.  The maximum duration of the accumulated suspension is two academic years.  
For those who apply for a longer suspension due to serious illnesses or accidents, one additional academic year is granted, if the applicant can offer relevant proof and receive a ratification from the chairperson of the department and the dean of the Academic Affairs. A proof of discharge is required for those who have military duty during suspension to resume their schooling after the expiration of their military service.  (The duration of military service is not included in the period of suspension.)  If students do not apply for resumption after their suspension expires, they will be expelled.  
For those who apply for suspension due to pregnancy, giving birth, nursing or child care for children under the age of 3, relevant documentation and certification are required.  The period of suspension due to the aforementioned reasons will not be counted toward the period of suspension.  When the period of suspension expires, a birth certificate and relative documents will be required for school resumption.  Undergraduates should receive permission from their parents or guardians before applying for suspension.

4. How can I request the Academic Suspension Return？
Prior to the deadline of your approved academic suspension period, the Registry office will send you a notice of Academic Suspension Return. Please feel free to contact the Registry office if it is not received around the end of January or August.  You are also welcome to download the Academic Suspension Return Form at the Registry section of the website for in-person completion of the required procedures for your return from academic suspension.
