1.Regarding Seminars, students both enrolled in April and October need to take seminars of their main academic advisor with the following order for two years.
1st semester Ia
2nd semester Ib ( Ib may not be taken unless the student has already earned credits for Ia.)
3rd semester IIa ( IIa may not be taken unless the student has already earned credits for Ia and Ib.)

If your Faculty Advisor is different from your desired Academic Advisor, you can take both (or only your desired Academic Advisor) seminars with the consent of both advisors.
For Seminar Ib, which is registered in the second semester after enrollment, students need to register for the seminar of the Academic Advisor who has actually been assigned.
