Graduate students who have already completed their required courses and thesis and solely select courses and credits of teacher education programs are only required to pay their credit fees if they sign up for eight credits or less in the current semester. Students who pay base tuition and miscellaneous fees are however given priority in the allocation of dorm space. Students who sign up for more than 9 credits must pay the full base tuition and miscellaneous fees and the credit fees for teacher education programs. In addition, students who are exempt from tuition and miscellaneous fees must submit exemption applications for the next semester to the respective department every semester. Applications received after the deadline will not be processed (please refer to the tuition and miscellaneous fee standards in the “Latest News” section of the NDHU Office of Academic Affairs homepage)
