- To maintain instructional quality, enrollment in writing courses (e.g., Basic English Writing, Academic English Writing) is strictly limited to 25 students.
- Checking Your Status: The final result is based on the "Approval Status" in the system's "Course Add Checklist". The FLC will not send separate notifications.
- Handling Time Conflicts: If an approved course conflicts with an existing one, the existing course will be automatically dropped.
- Post-Add/Drop Responsibility: Once a course is successfully added, the FLC will not assist with withdrawals or swaps. To withdraw, you must do so yourself within the announced period set by the Registrar Division.
