Difference between lecture fee and teaching hourly pay

2. Teaching hourly pay for courses or training sessions is considered salary income and applies to all instructors, not limited to faculty status.

2. Non-fixed income (bonuses, allowances, etc.): 6%.
3. Part-time or supplementary salary: 6%.
4. Payments to non-residents: 18% of total monthly payment.

 
 

What to do if a student does not receive a payment slip?

If tuition or credit fees are due and the slip is not received:
1. The Bank of Taiwan no longer mails slips; download from the portal.
2. Access the Cashier Office webpage to link to the portal for replacement.
3. Direct link to Bank of Taiwan portal for replacement.

 
 

Why is the hourly pay at the start of the semester slower to be credited?

At the start of each semester, pay is calculated after add/drop registration is complete and weekly teaching hours are finalized by the Academic Affairs Office. Approval takes place around early November (first semester) and late March (second semester). First-month payment is usually mid-November (week 8) and mid-April (week 8) for second semester.

 
 

Vendor payment inquiry?

Vendors can check payments themselves or through the university/cashier homepage by clicking Cashier Online Service Inquiry System.

 
 

When are excess tuition loan refunds credited?

Excess tuition loan refunds are usually processed 1–2 weeks before the end of the semester. The Bank of Taiwan first transfers approved loan amounts to the university. The Cashier Office then calculates and credits excess refunds to student postal accounts. Students with unapproved loans or loans less than tuition owed are notified to pay the balance.
