In order to minimize the face-to-face situations to prevent the spread of COVID-19, KAIST is operating an online approval system
for the course add/drop and withdrawal period since 2020 Spring semester.
Previously, students were required to submit a paper form with the approval of the course instructor to add/drop courses for which
online application was not possible, including courses that have exceeded the maximum enrollment limit and special courses with
different subtitles. However, from 2020 Spring semester, we have established an online approval system that can provide online
approval of relevant professors using electronic signatures as follows. Please refer to the guide to using Course Registration
(Exceptions) Menu as shown below.
