Some universities require students to complete the minimum academic performance of compulsory courses and elective courses specified in the professional teaching plan during their stay in school, and they must complete it every semester. If they don't, they will get a performance warning. You can't graduate until the credits have accumulated to the professional requirements.

If you haven't finished it by the time you reach the senior year, you may be asked to stay in school for one year and finish that part of the credits before graduating. Schools that try out the academic year credit system will be limited by the number of years of study, and students cannot retake the exam indefinitely.

If you complete the required courses and credits ahead of time, you can also graduate ahead of time.

How to deal with the subjects that failed in the college entrance examination;

Students make-up exams for subjects that failed the exam. Make-up exams are usually arranged after the winter and summer vacations and in the first week of the new semester. Students who fail to pass the make-up exam cannot get credits for the subject or module in the corresponding semester.

Students can retake failed subjects or modules, and allow students to take other modules that are easy to pass across disciplines or fields on the premise of meeting the minimum credit requirements of this field and discipline. Curriculum revision must be carried out within the next year. Generally not more than twice.

For limited courses, different schools have different practices. They can retake the exam or arrange students to choose other courses of the same kind.

Elective courses can be revisited, revised or abandoned.
