Calculating

tuition Fees

Total tuition fees Payable：

Tuition fees + Language Learning fee + Internet Usage fee+

Dormitory(+Deposit NT$1800+Cleaning fee ) + Student Safety

Insurance fee+ Medical Insurance = Payable Fees (NTD)

Example 1 An undergraduate freshman student of department of electronic

engineering, stays at dormitory, and doesn’t have any tuition waiver.

Estimated payable fees：52,202 + 550 + 385 + 7,955 + 1800 + 300 +

450+ 3,000 = 66,642NTD

Example 2 An undergraduate freshman student of department of electronic

engineering, stays at dormitory, and has full tuition waiver for the first

year.

Estimated payable fees：

0 + 550 + 385 + 7,955 + 1800 + 300 + 450+ 3,000 = 14,440 NTD

Example 3 An undergraduate freshman student of department of electronic

engineering, stays at dormitory, and has 1/2 tuition waiver for the first

year.

Estimated payable fees：

52,202*0.5+ 550 + 385 + 7,955 + 1800 + 300 + 450+ 3,000 = 40,541

Example 4 An undergraduate freshman student of department of electronic

engineering, stay at dormitory, and has 1/4 tuition waiver for the first

year.

Estimate payable fees：

52,202-(52,202*0.25) + 550 + 385 + 7,955 + 1800 + 450 + 300 +
