Resources: The LibGuides Platform

To fully utilize the Library’s collections, we employ the LibGuides system to create catalogues tailored to individual departments and graduate institutes so as to meet their different teaching and research needs, develop and customize collection utilization guides, and facilitate timely access to resources by faculty members and students as they work on their academic writings and research projects.

Flexible Pay Regulations

Regulations for the Recruitment, Retention, and Commendation of Outstanding Special Talent with Flexible Pay (including new faculty members, distinguished professors, distinguished associate professor, and chair professors)

Seniority-based Pay Raise

Faculty members who meet the criteria for teaching, research, consulting, or service performance may receive a one-step promotion in their pay grade (or seniority-based pay raise) up until the highest permissible grade/step for their position for each full academic year of service at the University.

Retirement, Pensions, and Extensions of Service

To apply for retirement, faculty members must submit a photocopy of their household registration transcript, postal savings passbook cover, and designated civil service pension account passbook cover; the original copy of their teaching certificate (if certified to teach at multiple levels of education, all valid certificates); and a 1-inch photo.

To apply for survivor’s benefits, the family of the deceased faculty member need to submit the original copy of a death certificate or a household registration transcript indicating the faculty member’s death, the household registration transcript indicating each surviving family member’s right to inheritance, and a transcript of each eligible family member’s individual household registration. A photocopy of the chief beneficiary’s bank account passbook (must be a postal savings account or designated civil service pension account) and proof of burial/cremation are also required.

To request an extension of service, the provisions of the NCHU Directives Governing the Extension of Service by Professors and Associate Professors apply.

Guidelines on Part-Time Work and Teaching Engagements for Faculty Members

To foster industry-academia collaboration and in compliance with the Ministry of Education’s Principles for the Handling of Full-Time Teachers at All Levels Seeking Part-Time Engagements and the University’s general policy for more lenient handling of faculty members with part-time employment, NCHU permits faculty members to take on part-time employment or teaching engagements at private companies, government agencies, or other education institutions with the approval of the head of their respective unit and the University, provided that such engagements do not interfere with their teaching duties at NCHU.

Attendance and Leave Regulations

Faculty members (and teaching assistants employed under the old system) are not required to sign in or out of work. Teaching assistants employed under the new system, however, are required to sign in and out of work within the flexible working hours (7:45–8:30 a.m. for sign-in and 4:45–5:30 p.m. for sign-out) on a daily basis, just as civil servants do. To request leave, please visit the online attendance/leave management system to submit a request.
