The Department has a preset schedule on course offerings in different semesters. Not all the courses will be offered in each semester. Students who resume their studies upon their leave of absence may not be able to take the course(s) required for graduation in the semester immediately after their leave of absence. The Department is not obliged to offer substitute courses for these students. In order for them to graduate “on time”, students have the responsibility to plan well ahead for their studies.
