The academic year is divided into four terms, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Each term is three months long. Registration may be for no less than one term. At time of registration, students may register for two consecutive terms. Students may not register for a term already in progress, except under special circumstances.
Tuition is payable at time of registration.
Fees are calculated by terms. The ROC Ministry of Education requires foreign students to take a minimum of ten hours per week of classes. However, students may take up to twenty hours of classes per week without extra tuition charge. After being assigned to courses by an initial placement test, students may enter and leave courses according to their individual progress and special interests. Students may thus devise their own special study programs.
