Academic Affairs Management

A. Individual Academic Affairs Management

Students enrolled in degree programs must regularly inspect and strictly manage individual academic affairs—check credits, sign up for classes, update profile data, etc.—through the university’s Integrated Data System. In case of changing legal names or resident numbers or any other issues related to academic records, the student must notify the administrative office.
