If the number of students who select such a course is less than the requirement for a new class, such class or classes may be combined with another similar class. A task team for each interdisciplinary program will be organized by the departments and graduate schools that are involved. A program leader will be selected, who will be responsible for coordination, promotion and review of all related issues, as well as timely amendments and adjustments of the curriculum contents. Daily administration of such program shall be managed by the department or graduate school that the program leader belongs to.

Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) Grading Regulations Article 1 CYCU Grading Regulations have been established in accordance with Article 28 of the University Act of Taiwan, and Article 31 of University Academic Policies. Article 2 Students are to be graded with each semester being an academic unit Term of study shall in accordance with CYCU Academic Policies. Article 3 For a bachelor s degree, all types of grades shall adopt a computation method of one hundred percent (100%), which can be converted into grade using a hierarchical method or G.P.A computation method. The highest grade shall be 100 points with a minimal passing grade of 60 points (the passing grade for hierarchical computation method is the fourth level). For a master s or doctoral degree, the same computation method of individual academic grades shall be applied, except that the passing grade of the teacher education programs is 60 points (the third level), and the passing grade for others is 70 points (the second level). The computation methods of assigned subjects shall be ratified by three-level Curriculum Committee in the manner of pass (P) or fail (F). A Article comparison 4 chart of the percentage method, hierarchical method, and G.P.A computation method is shown as follows. Percentage Hierarchy G.P.A above 95 the first level (a+) 4 points 90-94 points the first level (a) 4 80-89 points the first level (a-) 4 77-79 points the second level (b+) 3.67 73-76 points the second level (b) 3.33 70-72 points the second level (b-) 3 67-69 points the third level (c+) 2.67 63-66 points the third level (c) 2.33 60-62 points the third level (c-) 2 57-59 points the fourth level (d+) 1.67 53-56 points the fourth level (d) 1.33 50-52 points the fourth level (d-) 1 below 49 points the fifth level (f) 0 There Article are 5 threbelow are components to compute semester grades for courses: A general grade based upon quizzes, lecture notes, reading notes, reports and assignments. Mid-term exam(s). Final exam(s) Instructors shall register for the unified mid-term and final exams, which will be scheduled and supervised under the auspices of CYCU s Office of Academic Affairs. For a bachelor s degree, computation
methods of all grades are to be decided by course instructors in accordance with the course syllabus for each course, subject to applicable CYCU regulations and policies. The same computation methods shall be applicable to courses taken for a master s or doctoral degree. Students Article 6 academic performances are categorized into several divisions as follows. I. Average grades of final exam(s): For bachelors degrees, the average grade of final exams shall be computed by dividing the total credit points by the number of all credits taken in a semester. This method is to include failed subjects, except for zero credit. For masters or doctoral degrees, the same computation method is to be applied. II. Graduation grades: For bachelors degree, the average grades of final exams are to be computed by dividing the total credit points by the number of all credits taken in a semester. The computation method of graduation grades for masters and doctoral degrees are half for the average grades for final exams and half for qualifying exams, utilizing the same computation method for average grades as those for bachelor degrees. Total credit points, shall be calculated by multiplying the grades of courses by the total number of credit hours taken. A student s Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) shall be computed by dividing the sum of the product of a course credit point times its G.P.A by the total number of credit hours taken. This result should be exhibited with at least three digits after the decimal point. If the fourth (4 th ) digit to the right of the decimal point is above five (5) the third digit should be rounded up. If the fourth (4 th ) digit to the right of the decimal point is five (5) or below the third (3 rd ) digit would remain the same. Average semester grades and graduation grades shall be computed based upon a percentage computation method, to be displayed with results in two places. If the third (3 rd ) digit to the right of the decimal point is five (5) or above the second (2 nd ) digit should be rounded up. Otherwise, it is to remain the same. Article 7 Article 8 Article 9 Students (including bachelors, master, and doctoral degrees) who fail in final exams would not earn credits, and they would not be allowed to attend a make-up exam. If students fail on required subjects shall retake the courses. The grades recorded in the CYCU Office of Academic Affairs are based up on the course selection records of students. If a course isn t listed on the course elective sheet, even of if a student passes a course, it is not eligible; if a course is listed without a grade, the grade should be treated as zero and counted as such as a semester grade. Grades and credits from cram school while on vacations shall not be included in semester grades, except that such may be included in the last semester of study of a student prior to graduation subject to approval of the appropriate department of the student and CYCU policies and procedures.
Article 10 Article 11 Article 12 The qualifications for taking courses for a whole academic year are to be established by course-offering departments. Except for exceptional circumstances and departmental stipulations, all courses shall be taken in sequential order. All other relevant matters not covered in these policies shall be governed by pertinent laws and regulations. These policies, guidelines and any amendments to them shall become effective after approval by the CYCU Meeting of Academic Affairs and reported to the Ministry of Education for Taiwan.
