1. Assisting students with course selection:
(1) Course Selection Confirmation System: After the adding and dropping of courses at the beginning of each semester, the course selection form must be confirmed three times by the student, the class academic affairs representative, and the homeroom teacher. This ensures that the student has enrolled in a sufficient number of credits and has re-registered for any courses previously failed.
(2) Attendance Warning System: The school enforces a strict attendance-taking policy by instructors. A course warning system is established, linking the vice class representative, course instructors, homeroom teachers, department chair, and the office of academic affairs. This system monitors students with excessive absences, offers care, and encourages them to make improvements.
