How do undergraduate students apply for adding/dropping PG courses?

In general, Registry Office will inform UG students of the PG Courses Offering Information before the Formal Course Registration. For the detailed application period and requirements, please pay attention to the email notification from Registry Office.

Students may download the Course Add/Drop Form for Postgraduate Course from the Registry website and submit it with the latest unofficial transcript to Registry Office. After Registry Office completes the information verification, the application(s) will be passed to the Course Offering Unit(s) for further review. The final result will be released to the students by the Course Offering Unit(s).

Please note that the students should satisfy the term or academic year workload requirements stipulated by the General Regulations when they apply for enrolling in PG courses.

How to submit a course add application on SIS during Add/Drop period? What documents are required? How can students be notified of the result of the application?

During the Add/Drop period, students may submit course add applications on SIS to the Course Offering School(s) (Personal Center > My Application > Normal Addition). The Course Offering School(s) will review students' applications and make the final decision (Approve or Disapprove). If the applications are approved, the School(s) will add the course(s) for the students. Students are suggested to consult the Course Offering School(s) or login to SIS to check the approval progress.

Generally, the latest unofficial transcript is required when submitting course add applications. Additional materials might be required for certain courses. For specific requirements, please consult the Course offering School(s).

Students are advised to follow the following instructions to avoid submitting invalid applications:
a. Students who submitted course add applications during the Add/Drop period should timely check the progress. After submitting the application, if a student decides to give up adding the course, please be sure to contact the school and withdraw the application.
b. Students should check their schedule on the last day of the Add/Drop period and add/drop course(s) in time if needed.

Course Add Procedure during the Add/Drop Period: Students submit course add applications on SIS > Course Offering Schools review the applications

Under what circumstances shall students submit applications for adding or dropping course(s)?

For adding course(s): during the Add/Drop period, students who are unable to enroll in certain course(s) on SIS by themselves due to the course enrollment rules should approach the course(s) offering School(s) to obtain approval by submitting course add application(s) via SIS (Personal Center > My Application > Normal Addition).

For dropping course(s): during the Add/Drop period, students can usually drop courses on SIS by themselves. If a student's course withdrawal request is rejected by the system, it could be attributed to a) the student's total enrolled units do not fulfill the requirement of the minimum course load; or b) after dropping the course, the total enrolled units do not fulfill the requirement of the minimum course load; or c) the course is not allowed to be dropped by students without prior permission of the Schools.
In Term 1 of an Academic Year, Year 1 students are not allowed to withdraw from some School required courses. Year 1 students need to submit Course Drop Application to get approval from their school(s), while students of Year 2 and above need to get approval from the course offering School(s). Students may refer to the list of courses that are not allowed to drop sent by Registry Office via email.
