Importance and Stability of the Course Syllabus

• If there are prerequisites for the course, enrollment restrictions or a clear indication of the required prerequisites should be stated in the syllabus.

Course Withdrawal Policy

• If withdrawal from the course is not permitted, this must be clearly stated in the syllabus.

Compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act

• Please comply with the Personal Data Protection Act and refrain from including personal information (e.g., teaching assistant details) in the syllabus. If necessary, consider announcing it during class.

Attendance Grade Policy

• A student’s attendance grade cannot be deducted if the student has obtained prior approval from the instructor for official leave, personal leave, or sick leave, and the total leave hours do not exceed 25% of the course's total hours.
• Instructors may set specific rules for their courses, which will take precedence but must be clearly specified in the syllabus.
