For more detail see Page 9 on SILS Guidebook for Students and Page 38 of the Course Registration Guide, as well as the Advanced Seminar Registration Guideline posted each semester.
Once the student starts taking the Advanced Seminar, the Submission of the Senior Thesis is mandatory before the graduation. The Senior Thesis is registered along with the Advanced Seminar usually in 8th semester. Those two courses cannot be taken separately.
