Extra Selection Guide: How to Enroll in Courses You Were Unable to Secure

Students who are unable to enroll in their desired courses during the first three course selection rounds—either due to the automated random selection results or specific course restrictions—may continue to add or drop courses manually during the official Add-or-Drop period after the semester begins.

Additionally, students can utilize the Extra Selection System during the first two weeks of the semester to submit enrollment requests for instructor approval and secure additional course vacancies.

Please refer to the NTHU Academic Calendar each semester for official extra selection deadlines.
