🪪 STEP 1 Before Arrival|Find Your Student ID & Accounts
Look Up Student ID All Students

OCS / HK-Macao students: check the published ID list (Bachelor's and Master's lists are posted separately).

International students: your student ID will be announced on the OIA website homepage on the date given in this semester's Enrollment Notice.

⚠ You must find your student ID before continuing to the next steps.

Complete Personal Information Form in the Campus Portal All Students

Path: Campus Portal → Information Systems → Academic Affairs System → New Student Online Course Registration System → New Student Personal Information. Login: date of birth (format example: 20260730tW, i.e. YYYYMMDD + tW).

⚠ Must be completed before you can select courses.

💳 STEP 2 Enrollment|Tuition Payment & Course Selection
Pay Tuition All Students

OCS / HK-Macao students: log in to the Bank of Taiwan tuition portal, print the payment slip, and pay at a convenience store or any Bank of Taiwan branch.

International students: pay online via the Overseas Payment System using a credit or debit card.

Payment Instructions

⚠ Complete payment before the deadline. Late payment is handled per university regulations and may result in expulsion or annulment of admission. See this semester's Enrollment Notice for the exact deadline.

⚠ If you wish to defer enrollment, you must still pay first-semester tuition before applying for a leave of absence — see the OIA website 〔link〕 for details.

Course Selection (incl. Add/Drop) All Students

Pre-selection: choose courses from your own department/program first.

Add/Drop: opens after the semester starts, for courses across departments; done online.

Instructions (PDF/video): see the link in this semester's Enrollment Notice.

Obtain a Certificate of Enrollment All Students

Once you have paid your tuition and completed course selection, you can go to the Office of Academic Affairs to print your Certificate of Enrollment from the red machine.

You will also need this certificate later when applying to extend your ARC.

🏠 STEP 3 After Arrival|Housing, Health Check & Insurance
Dormitory All Students

Students who applied for on-campus housing may move in on the dormitory opening day. Arriving earlier does not allow earlier move-in — arrange your own accommodation until then.

Please contact the Office of Student Affairs for dormitory related inquiries.

New Student Health Check All Students

⚠ Compulsory for all new students. Not completing it means registration is considered incomplete and you cannot receive your student ID card; if still incomplete one month after the semester starts, you may not live in the dormitory.

Bring at least NT$600 in cash to the health check location.

Health Insurance All Students

International students: students residing in Taiwan for 6+ continuous months must enroll in National Health Insurance (NHI). Before that, you are automatically enrolled in Group Medical Insurance (one-time fee, NT$3,000 for 6 months).

To use your own home-country insurance instead, it must be verified by a Taiwan embassy/mission (please confirm the latest requirement with OIA).

OCS / HK-Macao students: please provide your student insurance information together with your enrollment documents when submitting them online.

Freshman Orientation Camp Undergrad Only

Compulsory for all undergraduate freshmen (exemptions may apply for International Semiconductor / Interaction Design programs — check the current announcement).

Arrive at the venue early.
