Degree Conferral Act Article 5

A university student undertaking bachelor’s degrees, upon completion of the legally prescribed period of study and upon obtainment of required course credits, as well as any required internship within the prescribed number of years, and having met all the graduation requirements with satisfactory assessment results shall be conferred bachelor’s degrees.If a student undertaking courses in a similar academic field or those in an interdisciplinary degree program has met the requirements set out in the preceding paragraph, an institution may confer the student bachelor’s degrees on the basis of the student’s academic field(s), courses taken, and requirements met, without being bound by the regulations of the college, department, or degree program to which the student was originally admitted. This does not, however, apply to specialist fields which are subject to supervisory mechanisms formulated by relevant government agencies that stipulate the total number of personnel to be trained.The criteria for determining the similar academic fields referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be determined at a college academic affairs meeting or by a degree program affairs committee of the college conferring the degree.A student enrolled in a four-year industry-academia collaboration bachelor's degrees program approved by the competent authority, who has completed two years of study and earned eighty course credits with satisfactory assessment results, and who has applied for and been granted retention of their student status by the enrolling institution before taking employment, shall be conferred associate bachelor’s degrees.Bachelor’s degrees shall be conferred on the applicant of student status retention as referred to in the preceding paragraph, who resumes studies at the institution within the prescribed time limit while con-forming to Paragraph 1.
