As described in PEAK Academic Handbook 2024, if a student fulfills both of the following requirements in his/her first A Semester after matriculation, the student may be exceptionally permitted to register for more courses than allowable under the Credit Limit from the following S Semester.
- The student must have obtained at least 25 credits for the Junior Division courses.
- Except for courses evaluated on a pass/fail basis, 90% or more of the student's obtained credits must have been evaluated as "A" and "A+".
If a student fulfills the aforementioned requirements and wishes to register for more courses than allowable under the Credit Limit in 1S semester and 2A semester, the student should fill out and submit the prescribed application form to the PEAK/GPEAK Section within the designated period from Tuesday, March 25 to Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
