Those who wish to apply for tuition fee exemption / deferment and admission fee exemption / deferment for the First Semester of the 2026 Academic Year must check this website and the application guidelines and then submit an application.

“Exemption(免除)”

<About year-round (full-year) assessment(通年判定)>

From the 2025 academic year, if within the standard period of study, the application result of tuition exemption will be valid for the academic year. Students who receive an exemption for the full year in the First Semester cannot apply for the Second Semester. (Except in the case of a “sudden change in household finances(家計急変)”.)
