_ _ In the hypothetical case, Nong A applied to be a pre-graduate student with a matayom 3 degree and is currently studying. High school is there too. 3 years after enrollment, it turns out that Nong A has accumulated 100 credits while studying for a pre-degree until he has almost completed his bachelor’s degree program (green circle). Complete the course immediately, but Young A cannot graduate with a bachelor’s degree… If not, bring the qualifications after completing Matayom 6 to change the system to be a normal student first.
        If wanting to graduate and receive a royal degree, Nong A must resign from being a pre-degree student. And apply as regular students with M.6 qualifications and register for the remaining credits (purple circles) along with transferring credits that you have accumulated while studying for pre-degree (green circles) together. Then study and complete the exam in the normal system. If all exams are passed, it will be considered as graduation immediately. Able to attend the graduation ceremony (Some people apply as regular students and continue studying for only one semester and they can graduate. because I have accumulated a lot of credits during my pre-degree)
