General Affair Committees
What Is the Role of General Affair Committees?
Dr. Steve Sheng-Fa Yu
Our Responsibilities We help some aspects of student’s life including General
student welfare and Academic works (courses/lab rotations) etc.
We act as advisors for first year students until they choose their thesis advisors (monthly meetings between committee members and the first year students are mandatory)
Deals with student-advisor relationship if there is a problem.
Talks with failed students to understand the causes and provide possible remedies.
Choosing and changing
the thesis advisor …Students can rotate two labs before choosing their advisors at the end of the first academic year.
Both the advisor and the student need to sign on the “Application Form for Designating a Thesis Advisor”
Later if changing the advisor, both the advisor and the student need to sign on the “Application Form for Changing Thesis Advisor”

Qualifying Examination Regulations Dr. Tai-Huang Huang
For students in CB trackCumulative Exam:
Students can start to take the Cumulative Written Exams after enrolment, chosen from five major subjects: Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Chemical Biology provided by NTU-Chem.
Each time a student can choose 1 or 2 subjects to take. Grade is rated in three levels: two points for grade A, one point for grade B, and no point for grade C.
Each student has to obtain at least two points by the end of the first year, and obtain 7 points within four years from at least two subjects. Students who fail to meet these requirements will be disqualified, and must withdraw from the doctoral program.
For students in MB track
Non-thesis Oral Exam:
Students, who have passed all registered courses in the first academic year, are eligible to take Non-thesis Oral Exam.
Students must take first non-thesis oral exam before the first day of their third academic year.
