Registration for New Students
1. A successful applicant must possess all qualifications set by Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology.
2. A successful applicant must register in person as a Thammasat University student during the registration
period scheduled by the Institute.
3. A successful applicant who cannot register during the scheduled period is required to submit a written
statement of the reason for his/her absence to the Admission and Public Relations Division by the last day
of the regular registration period. Otherwise, such an applicant will be considered as renouncing his/her
rights to register. After obtaining an approval for late registration, the applicant must register within the
first 14 days of the current semester; otherwise, his/her rights to register as a student will be revoked.
Registration for Current Students
1. An undergraduate student is required to register for a minimum of 9 credits and a maximum of 22 credits
in each regular semester. Registration for fewer than 9 credits is possible only by the director’s approval
and with a special reason, such as illness or anticipation of graduation at the end of the current semester.
The number of credits registered in the summer session shall not exceed 6 credits.
2. A student must register during the scheduled period and follow the registration procedures set by the
Institute.
3. Course registration must be approved by the academic advisor.
4. Late registration is subject to a fine of 45 Baht/day (including holidays) starting from the first day of
classes. Course registration after the first 14 days of a semester will not be allowed unless special
permission is obtained from the director. However, a student who has been awarded a scholarship for
studying abroad will be granted permission to register without fine after the registration deadline, but it
must be completed within the first 4 weeks of a semester.
5. A student who does not register for any courses in a regular semester has to file an application for leave
of absence to the academic program and pay a fee for maintaining student status within the first 30 days
of a semester; otherwise his/her student status will be revoked.
6. Registration for courses is considered incomplete until fees have been paid by the specified date.
7. The number of students enrolling in a course may be restricted due to some constraints, such as limited
laboratory equipment and classroom size.
Auditing a Course
1. With permission from the instructor and the advisor, a student may audit a course without evaluation. The
student must pay the tuition fee for the course.
2. Auditing may not be changed to regular evaluation after the second week of a regular semester.
3. A grade report will bear “AUD” for the audited course after such a course is completed.
4. The number of credits for an audited course will be counted towards the upper limit of the number of
credits allowed in a semester, but will not be counted towards the lower limit.
5. The credit(s) of an audited course will not be counted towards the total credit accumulation.
6. An audited course cannot be re-registered for at a later time for formal evaluation unless there is
a change in the student’s study program that warrants the need for formal evaluation of the course.
Course Addition/Withdrawal
1. If authorized by the advisor, course addition must be processed within the first 14 days of a regular
semester or within the first 7 days of a summer session.
2. If authorized by the instructor and the advisor, course withdrawal will result in one of the following cases:
2.1 If a course is withdrawn within the first 14 days of a regular semester (7 days for a summer session),
the academic record will not bear the title of such a course.
2.2 If a course is withdrawn after the first 14 days (7 days for a summer session) but not later than the
first ten weeks of a regular semester (4 weeks for a summer session), the academic record will bear
the title of the course and a W grade.

not allowed unless special permission is obtained from the director. With approval from the director,
the course will bear a W grade.
