Section for NTU Project Research Scholarship Recipients & Project Learning-Oriented Assistant

NTU Project Research Scholarship Recipients and Project Employee-Oriented Assistant Meeting Minutes

1. Are Mainland Chinese students eligible to apply to serve as part-time research project assistants?
   1. Mainland Chinese students can only apply to serve as part-time "learning-oriented" student assistants under research projects not funded by the government.  2. In accordance with Article XIV and Article XV of "Regulations on Mainland Chinese Students Attending Junior College or Other Higher Education Institutions in Taiwan" and the official document of the Ministry of Education (code: 臺教高(四)字第1020140814B號令) issued on Jan. 22, 2014, while studying in Taiwan, Mainland Chinese students shall not take part-time or full-time jobs except for course-learning or service-learning project research assistants enumerated in the above-mentioned official document. Central government agencies and their subordinate entities shall not budget for scholarships or aids for Mainland Chinese students. Schools shall not use central government funding for the purposes of scholarships or aids for mainland Chinese students.
2. Why can't students apply to serve as temporary personnel? 
   In accordance with regulations of the Ministry of Education on part-time student assistants, students can only serve as learning-oriented or employment-based assistants. Students who work as temporary personnel in seminars or other events may apply for employment as part-time employment-based assistants.
3. What if students do not receive email notifications delivered by the online system?Free online email accounts are more prone to system instability and thus might not be able to receive employment notification letters. Sometimes the letters might be classified as spam emails. We suggest using university email accounts.
   NTU part-time student assistants can confirm the hiring type through myNTU "Research Project Part-time Student Assistant Section".
4. How long will it take for the online employment application of NTU part-time learning-oriented assistant to be reviewed?
   If the buttons of "Edit" and "Notify the students via email for confirmation" appear in the Status column of "Cases applied but not yet approved" on the applicants' page, it means the students haven't yet confirmed the hiring type online. If the "Print the agreement" button appears in the column instead, the student has already confirmed. Case officers of the Division of Research Project Affairs review applications online every other day, but the review process might take longer when there are more applications.
5. If the application had been filed before the online system was updated on Sep. 14, is it required to apply for employment and confirm the hiring type again on the system after Sep. 14?
   1. If both the online application had been filed and reviewed, and the hard copy of the agreement on the hiring type had all been signed before Sep. 14, the employment application procedures are completed and there is no need to reapply on the updated online system.  If the application was filed after Sep. 14, it is not required the agreement on the hiring type affixed with the reimbursement form because both the employment period and the hiring type have been specified on the application form after the principal investigator and the student confirmed online.
