Passed at the Department Affairs Meeting on February 15, 2017

Article 1   PhD students, in addition to fulfilling the NCU requirements for graduation, must also comply with the following regulations established by the Graduate Institute of Atmospheric Physics (hereinafter “the Institute”).

Article 2   PhD students shall apply to the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs for the PhD Qualification Examination after completing one year of study and no later than the end of their third year. Each student is allowed a maximum of two application attempts. Those who fail to pass the examination on their second attempt shall be dismissed from the program.

Article 3   PhD students who fail to pass the qualification examination within four years (excluding any leaves of absence) shall be dismissed from the program.

Article 4   The PhD Qualification Examination consists of a written examination and an oral examination. Application for the written examination must be submitted in December or May of each year, and the examination is held in February and July. The examination subjects and examiners are jointly determined by the advisor and the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs.

Article 5   To pass the written examination, students must score at least 60 in each subject and achieve an overall average score of 70 or higher. If the overall average score is at least 70 and the score in only one subject is less than sixty, the student may retake the examination on the failed subject once. If the student fails this second examination, they must reapply to take the written examination.

Article 6   After passing the written examination, students must take the oral examination within six months. The qualification oral exam committee shall serve ex officio as the thesis oral defense committee and include at least three members (including the advisor). The advisor shall submit the proposed list of committee members to the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs (after the student passes the written exam?). For students participating in the Academia–Industry Collaboration Program for Research and Development Elite Cultivation, at least one committee member must be an industry expert.

Article 7   The oral qualification exam consists of two parts. The first part shall be conducted publicly and must be announced by the Institute at least one week before the examination date. The student is required to present a capstone project and a dissertation research proposal. The second part is, in principle, closed to the public and consists of an oral defense and evaluation by the committee members on the basis of the research proposal and relevant background knowledge. The evaluation results may be Pass, Conditional Pass, or Fail.

Article 8   Students who fail the oral qualification examination must retake it within six months; only one retake is allowed. Students who fail a second time must reapply to take the qualification examination. Students who receive a conditional pass may apply for the dissertation defense (oral defense) only after the stipulated conditions have been fulfilled, as determined by the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs.

Article 9   The degree examination must be publicly announced by the Institute at least two weeks before the examination date, and a draft of the dissertation must be delivered to all examination committee members (also at least two weeks before the defense?). If the abovementioned requirements are not met, the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs reserves the right to cancel the examination.

Article 10            Before applying for the oral defense, a student must have at least one SCI-indexed paper that has been published or accepted, on which the student is listed as the first author or corresponding author. For students participating in the Academia–Industry Collaboration Program for Research and Development Elite Cultivation, select projects completed during their studies (such as journal articles subject to a rigorous review process, patent certificates, technical reports, or technology transfer products) may be submitted to the Department/Institute Affairs Meeting for approval instead, subject to the approval of the advisor and the collaborating industry or juridical person. Only after such approval may the PhD oral defense be conducted.

Article 11            The thesis defense shall be graded out of 100 points, with 70 as the passing score. A candidate passes if the average score is seventy 70 or higher. However, if one-third or more of the committee members give a failing score, the examination shall be deemed failed.

Article 12            If a student fails the oral defense and has not yet reached the maximum period of study, they may retake the defense in the following semester or academic year. Only one retake is permitted. If the student fails a second time, they shall be dismissed from the program.

Article 13            Students who fail to pass the thesis defense by the end of the maximum period of study shall be dismissed from the program. The standard duration of study for the PhD program is between two and seven years. However, students admitted to the in-service PhD program may extend this duration by one additional year.

Article 14            Students directly admitted to the PhD program who have completed their studies and passed the PhD Qualification Examination but have failed the PhD degree examination may be awarded a master’s degree if their dissertation is deemed to meet the standards of a master’s thesis by the PhD degree examination committee.

Article 15            If the advisor is not a faculty member of the Institute, approval from the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs is required. The oral defense committee shall consist of at least five members drawn from inside or outside NCU. The committee members shall elect one individual from among themselves to serve as the chairperson (the advisor may not serve as the chairperson). The qualifications of the committee members must be as stipulated in the regulations of NCU and the Ministry of Education, and the list of committee members shall be reviewed by the Committee of Graduate Student Affairs. For students participating in the Academia–Industry Collaboration Program for Research and Development Elite Cultivation, at least one industry expert must serve on the oral defense committee.

Article 16            These Regulations shall take effect beginning with students admitted in the 2016–2017 academic year.

Article 17            Any matters not covered in these Regulations shall be handled in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education and NCU.

Article 18            These Regulations shall take effect upon approval by the Institute Affairs Meeting and reporting to the Academic Affairs Meeting. The same procedure shall apply to any amendments.
