XI. Notice

1. Exchange students do not have to apply for suspension of studies while studying abroad, but they have to pay full tuition and incidental fees to reserve their student status.

2. Exchange students who have submitted their Exchange Student Declaration cannot waive the chance to participate in the program or ask to shorten the exchange period, except when encountering force majeure with concrete evidence attached. Those who relinquish without a justifiable reason or after submitting the Exchange Student Declaration will be given a punishment more severe than a warning and barred from the next selection.

3. If an exchange student intends to waive the chance to participate in the program because a partner university modified its exchange conditions, punishments will not be given. However, the student has to notify the Department before departure.

4. Faculty members who are in charge of international exchanges in the Department will assist exchange students in contacting partner universities. However, exchange students still have to complete the procedures for overseas studies, apply for visas, purchase plane tickets, and find accommodation. Please do not apply to the program if you cannot fulfill said responsibilities independently. Moreover, partner universities might not arrange pick-up services at airports. If this is the case, exchange students have to go to partner universities by themselves. If partner universities provide charged pick-up services, exchange students who wish to use the services should pay the expenses.

5. Exchange students who are draftees should apply for a deferred call and return to Wenzao to continue their studies after the end of the program. Prolonged stay abroad is prohibited. Exchange students should bear full legal responsibilities if violations occur. The Department will impose punishments according to the severity of the violations.

6. Exchange students have to sign an “Administrative Contract.” If an exchange student wishes to return to Taiwan before the end of the program due to force majeure and can provide concrete evidence, he/she has to inform the Department and the partner school. The Department will impose punishments more severe than a warning on those who return to Taiwan before the end of the program without a proper reason, according to the severity of the violations. Furthermore, those who receive scholarships from the University have to repay the scholarships if they fail to complete the program.

7. Exchange students have to return to the Department and continue their studies after the end of the program. Exchange students cannot extend the exchange period.

8. Exchange students have to attend the “Pre-departure Orientation” organized by the Department. After completing the program, they are obliged to submit a report and hold an “Experience Sharing Presentation.” They also have to submit other documents required by the Department in accordance with its regulations. If an exchange student does not comply with the above rules, the Department will impose punishments according to the severity of the violations.

9. After returning to Taiwan, exchange students have the responsibility to become an International Student Assistant (ISA). The Department will assign partners and provide training. In addition, exchange students also have to participate in language-related competitions upon the requests of the Department.

10. For matters not covered by the Guidelines, the Department may proceed with the University regulations.
