Access measures

Does your university as a body systematically measure/track women’s application rate, acceptance/entry rate and study completion rate at the university?

The University conducts long-term longitudinal tracking and analysis of students from the admission data (including analysis of student origins, recruitment strategies, and collection of data on recruitment effectiveness) to the development paths of graduates (including various types of evaluation results, students’ performance in further studies and employment, development paths of alumni, employer satisfaction, etc.). Based on the learning outcomes of students, a statistical analysis model is constructed to track the long-term learning process and effectiveness from the time of admission. The results are used to establish a predictive model which serves as a basis for adjusting the teaching and counselling mechanism and the allocation of school resources.

The University ensures equal opportunities in education and demonstrates social responsibility.

The University provides disadvantaged students with education opportunities.

1.  Encouraging faculties to increase the admission quota proactively so that disadvantaged students have a greater chance of securing admission

(1) In recent years, the University has proactively provided additional quota to admit disadvantaged students via various channels.

(2) Faculties are granted additional operating funds to encourage them to actively increase the admission quota for disadvantaged students.

(3) To cater to the needs of disadvantaged students in all respects, the University has integrated supportive measures into the screening process in the second phase of ‘Individual Application’ for university admission in the academic year 2018 and relaxed the screening criteria in the second phase.

2.  Reducing the financial burden for disadvantaged applicants – exemption from registration fee and provision of travel allowance for ‘Individual Application’.

(1) The University allows economically disadvantaged students to be exempted from the registration fee for the self-administered entrance examination.

(2) During the screening in the second phase of ‘Individual Application’, the University grants students a travel allowance ranging from NT$150 to NT$1,000 according to their places of residence. The allowance will be distributed by faculties to eligible candidates on the day of screening.

3.  Supportive measures for disadvantaged students

In order to support disadvantaged students in focusing on their studies, the University actively raises funds and establishes various supportive measures to improve the supportive mechanism for disadvantaged students. Support for disadvantaged students can be divided into two categories according to the goal of assistance: poverty alleviation (subsidy for tuition and miscellaneous fees) and emergency assistance (emergency aid funds and campus meal vouchers).

(1) Subsidy for tuition and miscellaneous fees as prescribed by the Ministry of Education

The reduced or exempted items include tuition fees, miscellaneous fees, pre-credit fees, base tuition and miscellaneous fees and other fees.

(2) Active fundraising for emergency aid funds and campus meal vouchers

To motivate students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to strive for excellence, develop self-confidence and independence, alleviate their financial burden during university studies and allow them to study without financial worries, the University has established the following supportive measures: ‘Guidelines on the Implementation of Student Emergency Aid Funds’, ‘Guidelines on the Application for Mr. Wang Jin-pyng Emergency Aid Fund and Campus Meal Vouchers for Impoverished Students’, ‘Guidelines on the Application for the Student Emergency Aid Fund by Acting Bai Sha Culture and Education Foundation’ and ‘Regulations on the Distribution of Charity Meal Vouchers’.
