Master Strategy for International New Students

⚠️ All Courses Require Manual Registration

Please Note: NTHU implements a self-directed course selection system. Regardless of whether a course is mandatory (required) or elective, NO courses are pre-registered or automatically added to your timetable by the university. You must manually register for every single class online within the designated periods.

⚠️ Critical Reminder: Enroll in Mandatory Courses in Their Appointed Semesters
The enrollment capacity for mandatory courses is strictly budgeted based on the headcount of freshmen in that specific academic year. Although returning students can select courses earlier (in June), NTHU implements a "Freshmen Quota Reservation" or "Freshmen Only restriction" on first-year mandatory classes to protect your rights.

If you fail to take a required course during its designated semester and delay it to future years, you are highly likely to encounter severe consequences: courses hitting their maximum capacity, scheduling conflicts with advanced required courses, or failure to enroll, which will directly delay your graduation timeline.
