Language Restriction: Students may not take two courses of the same language at different levels simultaneously.
Class Capacity: The maximum number of students per class is 45. Instructors may make flexible adjustments based on classroom capacity and teaching preparation.
Course Restrictions: FLC strictly prohibits those who already possess advanced level knowledge or have previously taken advanced courses from taking lower-level courses. If found unsuitable, students will be forced to withdraw.

Already Enrolled in Same Language: Already having a course in the same language on your schedule before the add/drop is processed.
Withdrawal Period: If you need to withdraw from a course for any reason, you must do so yourself via the online system within the announced period.

Conflict with an Existing Course:
- If your add request is approved, the original course at the conflicting time slot will be automatically dropped, and the new course will be added.
Conflict with Another Pending Add/Drop Request:
- First-Come, First-Served: The course that is approved by an instructor first will be added to your schedule.
- Automatic Cancellation: The other pending request for the same time slot will be marked as [Time Conflict], and its status will be changed to [Application Cancelled].

According to the "Regulations for Second Foreign Language Course Offering and Selection," students may take a maximum of two second foreign language courses per semester and may not take two courses of the same language at different levels concurrently.
According to Article 4, Section 6 of the "NCKU Student Course Selection Regulations," credits for a repeated course (a course you have already passed with the exact same name) will not count toward your minimum graduation credits. However, the grade will be included in your semester and cumulative GPA. Students are solely responsible for any graduation credit shortages arising from this.
