If a student withdraws from the program midway during the academic term due to personal reasons, such as applying for transfer to another program, changing majors, taking a leave of absence, or returning to their home country, and after counseling from the school, still decides to give up continuing in the program, or if the school, in accordance with its regulations, decides to withdraw or expel the student, the student is required to fully repay any industry-academia scholarship funds received.

 

If a student chooses not to work for the collaborating company or in a related industry field after graduation, and despite counseling from the school, the student is required to fully repay any industry-academia scholarship funds received.

 

If a student, after graduating and entering employment, violates company regulations leading to the lawful termination of the employment contract, and despite counseling from the school, the student should repay the industry-academia scholarship funds proportionally based on the number of months not employed; for a period less than one month, it will be counted as one month.

 

During the period of fulfilling the employment obligation after graduation, students are required to work in a position within domestic collaborating companies in Taiwan. They are not allowed to be dispatched to work at overseas branches or be employed by overseas Taiwanese-owned companies. If a student fails to comply with the requirement of domestic employment, they should repay the industry-academia scholarship funds proportionally based on the number of months not employed in Taiwan; for a period less than one month, it will be counted as one month.
