1. Why should I avoid time conflicts when planning my course schedule?

The aim is to ensure that students derive the maximum academic benefit from the Department of Management and realize their full potential. Regularly missing classes (except in cases of illness or extenuating circumstances) due to schedule conflicts, can negatively impact academic performance and overall learning outcomes. Therefore, students are required to arrange their schedules to ensure regular attendance for all registered courses.

2. If my course schedule fails to meet the regulations, can it still be approved during registration on the condition that I fix it during the Add-Drop period?

No. Your course schedule must comply with all rules at the time of approval during the registration period.

Course quotas are strictly limited by classroom capacity. Keeping an unauthorized course in your schedule with the intention of dropping it later prevents another student from taking that spot. Consequently, assuming that you can get a non-compliant schedule approved during registration and fix it during Add-Drop will result in your schedule being rejected.

Furthermore, if a required course or section fits your schedule but you cannot secure approval during registration week, you must attempt to add it during the Add-Drop period instead. Temporarily registering for an incorrect section or a course that violates schedule rules is not permitted.

3. Can I register a non-departmental course that conflicts with my AD courses?

No. Conflicts that can be resolved by choosing alternative sections are classified as avoidable, and the schedule will not be approved. Students must ensure that non-departmental courses—such as HTR, TK, unrestricted electives, and HSS electives—do not conflict with their AD courses.

4. Are time conflicts allowed between compulsory AD courses?

Course schedules are designed so that at least one section of each compulsory course in a given curriculum year (e.g., third-year must courses) is free of time conflicts. Therefore, students can register for all compulsory courses in their academic year without any time conflicts.

For compulsory courses remaining from previous semesters, students must select a section that avoids time conflicts whenever alternative sections are available. If this is not possible and the time conflict is unavoidable:

- If the student is not in their final semester, they must take the compulsory course from the earlier year and postpone the other compulsory course to the next semester.

- If the student is in their final semester and there is an unavoidable time conflict between compulsory courses, the schedule may be approved upon the consent of the advisor.

5. Can I submit a schedule with time conflicts for advisor approval based on the argument that “There have been students who submitted schedules with conflicts before,” or similar reasoning? Can such a schedule be approved?

No.

6. Why is it important to take and pass MATH and EC courses before the final year?

It is crucial for your academic progress and graduation to take and pass the compulsory MATH and EC courses in their designated semesters. Postponing them increases the likelihood of scheduling conflicts, and not attending them on a regular basis increases the risk of failing the course.

Every year, some students are unable to graduate solely because they have not passed these courses, despite having fulfilled all other graduation requirements. In addition, most students who take a single-course exam for graduation are doing so for one of these courses, and many risk failing again. 

Moreover, not every student approaching graduation can take the single-course exam. In such cases, the student may have to remain enrolled for at least one additional semester to complete one single course.

Therefore, it is important to pass the compulsory MATH and EC courses in their designated semesters (during the first and the second years). If you fail any of these courses, you should retake them the next semester it is offered, arrange your schedule to avoid conflicts with your other courses, and make every effort to pass.
