Examples of calculating the tuition and other required fees
Tuition and other required fees + language lab fee + computer lab fee +
Calculation
accommodation fee + student accident insurance premium + medical insurance
formula
premium = total amount for fall semester – scholarships = Total Payables
Example A
Student A: a freshman of the Dept. of Electronic Engineering lives in a room for four
people on Main Campus without any scholarship.
Total Payables: 55,373 + 0 + 830 + 10,900 + 184 + 3,000 = TWD 70,287
Example B
Student A: a freshman of the Dept. of Electronic Engineering lives in a room for four
people on Main Campus, and is awarded the scholarship of TWD 120,000 per year.
The scholarship awarded in the 2015 fall semester is TWD 60,000.
Total Payables: 55,373 + 0 + 830 + 10,900 + 184 + 3,000 = 70,287 – 60,000 = TWD
10,287
Example C
Student A: a freshman of the Dept. of Electronic Engineering lives in a room for four
people on Main Campus, and is awarded the scholarship of exemption from the
tuition and other required fees for two semesters.
Total Payables: 55,373 + 0 + 830 + 10,900 + 184 + 3,000 = 70,287 – 55,373 – 830 –
184 = TWD 13,900
Example D
Student A: a freshman of the Dept. of Electronic Engineering lives in a room for four
people on Main Campus, and is awarded the scholarship for TWD 60,000 per year.
The scholarship awarded in the 2015 fall semester is TWD 30,000.
Total Payables: 55,373 + 0 + 830 + 10,900 + 184 + 3,000 = 70,287 – 30,000 = TWD
40,287
Example E
Student A: a freshman of the Dept. of Electronic Engineering lives in a room for four
people on Main Campus, and is awarded the scholarship of exemption from 50% of
the tuition and other required fees for two semesters.
Total Payables:
55,373 + 0 + 830 + 10,900 + 184 + 3,000 = 70,287 – (55,373+830+184)/2 = TWD
42,094
