[Ph.D. Program] Forms to Submit for the Next Semester Enrollment

Ph.D. students who wish to withdraw from the program or extend enrollment period in March 2026 must submit a notification by the designated deadline.

1. Forms to submit

Please choose one of the following forms considering the progress of your Ph.D. thesis.

1) Notification of Withdrawal from the Ph.D. Program with the Completion of Course Requirements

This form applies to third-year Ph.D. students who will withdraw from the Ph.D. program in March 2026 with completing course requirements - stay in the Ph.D. program more than 3 years (except leave of absence period) and earn 6 credits for Graduate Research 2.

*If you will withdraw from the program in September 2026 with completing course requirements, you will have to submit the form in late-July 2026.

2) Application for Extension of Enrollment Period

This form applies to third-year Ph.D. students who wish to extend their enrollment period for one year from April 2026 for the reason that they need more time to complete their Ph.D. thesis, etc. (Students who have already applied for one-year extension from September 2025 in this July do not have to submit this application.)

Application for extension must be submitted every year if students want to continue to stay in the Ph.D. program for more than 4 years. Enrollment period in the Ph.D. program can be extended up to 6 years.

*Extension of enrollment is on a one year basis, but students may complete their studies in the following semester. When completion of the Ph.D. program is required, please apply in accordance with the Screening Schedule of Ph.D. Thesis.

Please note that a leave of absence taken during the extension period of enrollment will be considered as a period of enrollment.

2. How to submit

In addition to submitting paper forms as before, starting this semester, it is also possible to apply via K-Support.
