All the freshmen coming to MDU this year might see a drastic change in the academic atmosphere and a dedication to professionalism. In my opinion, this is different from any other university in Taiwan. Allow me to use the word ‘Globalization’ to highlight what we aim for at MDU. By this year, the percentage of foreign students at MDU has exceeded 14% of all full time enrollments. We aim to turn our campus into a small-scale global village. In addition to our own efforts to comply with the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), we also aim to bring a North American curriculum to our campus. Our goal is to provide new students with a curriculum fully taught in English. Students might also enjoy the opportunity to get in touch with different cultures and languages around the world. So, open up your mind and embrace a new era of education at MingDao University. We are dedicated to educate and to shape you for the ever challenging new world ahead of you. Da-Yung Wang, Ph. D. Chancellor, MingDao University 7 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G MingDao Unuversity’s educational philosophy was developed by our founder, Dr. Da-Yung Wang. This education philosophy was inspired by the sentiment of No Child Left Behind, the education law passed in the United States with bipartisan support, and it was then applied as an instructional model at MDU. With this educational model, our students receive an excellent education based in realworld practical training and continuous assessment of their learning, so they can develop state-of-the-art skills and good virtue, as well as aptitudes to become entrepreneurs in the 21st century. As for the historical development of MDU, the creation of MingDao University’s vision and self-positioning was based on the need to integrate the following three things: the mid- to long-term development plan to re-coordinate administrative organs, the University’s demonstrated achievements thus far, and the objective external trends and challenges facing the University. MingDao University’s earlier strategy was to be a stand-alone college, founded as the MingDao College of Management in 2001, and the initial college-type was an instructional institute. In 2007, the MingDao College of Management was upgraded to the status of comprehensive university by the Ministry of Education, and renamed MingDao University. With the new name came a new plan to be an instructional and integrated research-oriented institute. In 2010, in response to the threat of climate change to food, water, and energy security, green, organic, and healthy became the new motto. By 2015, due to the dramatic decrease of birthrates in Taiwan over the previous generation, an issue that will strongly impact college enrolment and create new social issues, a shift in vision for higher education was needed. While continuing our current projects and building on existing achievements based on the visions of earlier phases, the new administration, taking international trends, technological advancement, and societal needs into consideration, has cast a bold vision for a 8 new direction. Thus, in order to become a first-tier institute of higher education, our new goal for MingDao University is to promote corporate projects, diversity and internationalization, and instructional excellence. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G For the purpose of cultivating future business leaders, we are focused on preparing our graduates to be capable of managing organizations, not only in the technical sense, but also by making strategic decisions that will create value and contribute to business success. We renew our curriculum regularly in order to confirm that we will keep providing high quality education for everyone in the MDU community. We have faith that our graduates will develop clear visions, follow their passions, and take effective actions in making their dreams into realities. With deep respect, President MingDao University 9 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G It all started in 1969 when a legendary educator, Mr. Kuang-Ping Wang, built his first dream school: Mingdao High School (MDH) in central Taiwan. With its humble beginning of only 300 lowly-achieved students and their unconfident teachers, MDH quickly excelled to be one of the top high schools of the nation in less than 10 years, with a sizable enrollment of 12500 in 1994. MDH’s success was based on one reason: great team work under a determined vision from an innovative leader. According to Mr. Kuang-Ping Wang’s plan, a MingDao School System consisting of schools extending from the area of early childhood to the post graduate program will be the ultimate model to testify his education theory based on teacher motivation, an innovative curriculum, and inspiration to students. The opportunity called in 1998 when Taiwan government encouraged private education with a new land grant policy. So, the same legacy continued in 2001, when Mr. Kuang-Ping Wang and two of his students, Mr. Fu-Hsho Liu and Professor Da-Yung Wang started the brand new MingDao University in Chang-Hua County, the agricultural heartland of Taiwan. President Da-Yung Wang, as one of MDU’s co-founders and Mr. Kuang-Ping Wang’s successor, became the key architect of MingDao University’s mind and soul. In his 9 year term as President, MDU thrived among all other 170 existing higher education institutes in Taiwan to be the institute offering the best Chinese Ph.D. , Post Modern Agriculture, Sustainable Energy (solar, wind, and hydrogen fuel cell), and Plasma Surface Engineering program. In 2010, Professor Da-Yung Wang took the role of Chairman of the Board of MDU, and Professor Shih-Shung Chen assumed the Presidency of MDU. In his four - year term, organic agriculture was fully developed at MDU with fame and full publicity. MingDao University started to accelerate its global initiatives by setting up physical Liaison Offices in London, Kuala Lumpur, Vancouver, Shanghai, Xiamen, and Thailand. In 2013, the foreign student ratio exceeded 14% of the total full time enrollment, top of the nation. The whole university has geared up to challenge the steep drop in Taiwan’s fertility rate. In 2014, Professor Chiu-Shun Kuo became the new President and started to execute a bold new Five-year Development Guideline from the Board. In this new strategy, MDU will elevate its global recognition by pursuing the US higher education accreditation; will reach 50% foreign student ratio by launching a full English curriculum and degree program; will outreach by branching out to China, North America, and Southeast Asia; will stay sustainable and strong by turning into an entrepreneurship-based university via university-level industrial incubation and campus wise co-op program. Now, in 2015, the story goes on……… 10 MISSION 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G As educators of MingDao University, we are committed to every single student coming to our school. There is no student too dumb to be enlightened; there is no student too radical to be civilized; and there is no student too ignorant to be inspired. Our core value is built upon chivalry, globalization, and entrepreneurship. MDU vows to be the breeding ground of future leadership with noble characters and human consideration. OBJECTIVES OF MINGDAO UNIVERSITY Vision Students and graduates from MDU vow to uphold idealism without hesitation. We are proud to be part of an elite to serve the society and the global community. Passion All great works start from passion, which motivates humble souls to change the world. We nourish our pure mind through knowledge, courage, and humanity. Action Just do it, like many young pioneers in history did. We dare to carry out the most difficult last mile to score. We build our confidence through determination.

This includes extending unwanted sexual attention to someone that reduces personal productivity or time available to work at assigned tasks; or ● Creating a work environment that is intimidating, hostile, or offensive because of unwelcome or unwanted sexually-oriented conversations, suggestions, requests, demands, physical contacts, or attentions. Normal, non-coercive interaction that is acceptable to both parties is not considered to be sexual harassment. At MDU, sexual harassment by employees of students is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when: ● Submission to such conduct is made to appear to be a term or condition of enrollment, attendance, or participation in a class; ● Submission to or rejection of such conduct affects academic decisions; 23 ● Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with a student's academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive academic environment; ● Unwelcome physical contact, including but not limited to, patting, pinching, or touching; or 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G ● Offensive or demeaning sexual remarks, jokes, or gestures. Students aggrieved by a violation of this policy may file a grievance by reporting the conduct to the gender equity education committee. All allegations of sexual harassment of or by a student, faculty member, or any other University personnel will be promptly and thoroughly investigated by the gender equity education committee. MDU recognizes sexual harassment as an insidious practice and will not tolerate sexual harassment in any manner or form. Persons sexually harassing others will be dealt with swiftly and vigorously. Any individual who violates any portion of this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge. It is improper conduct for a MDU faculty member to engage in a romantic or sexual relationship with a student enrolled in the faculty member's class or for an employee to engage in a romantic or sexual relationship with a student that is under the employee’s supervision. Romantic or sexual relationships between any faculty member and a student then enrolled in the faculty member's class (including supervised student activities for which academic credit is given) or between any university employee and a student enrolled in the university may appear to be coercive and are discouraged. Even when no coercion is present, such relationships create an appearance of impropriety and favoritism, which can impair the academic experience of all students in the university environment. At MDU, romantic and sexual relationships between a faculty member or an employee and a student are subject to the prohibition against sexual harassment. Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment and Sexual Bullying case Principles. To safeguard the interests of the student's education and developing,to provide school staff and students to avoid being sexually harassed in a sexual assault or sexual bullying learning and working environment.

POLICY AGAINST HAZING In compliance with MOE policy, MDU defines hazing as any act whether physical, mental, emotional or psychological, which subjects another person, voluntarily or involuntarily, to anything that may abuse, mistreat, degrade, humiliate, harass, or intimidate him or her, or which may in any fashion compromise his/her inherent dignity as a person. 24 Hazing is inherently in conflict with the purpose and goals of MingDao University. Therefore, such conduct will not be tolerated. Every effort will be made by MDU to guarantee that students will not be victimized by hazing. LIBRARY USE POLICY 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G The library’s policy regarding student borrowing and return of items is posted in the library. Students are allowed and encouraged to borrow materials from the library’s general collection. Students are allowed to borrow materials for up to twenty days. These materials may also be renewed for a period of one month. The recent inclusion of the library’s collection in an online catalog will permit computerized circulation procedures in the future. Fines and late fees are assessed for late items at the rate of 5 NT dollars per book per day. These fees are collected before the student is allowed to school-leaving procedure. Reference, periodical, and special collection items may not normally be circulated to students without special permission; however, special permission may be granted on occasion by the librarian for reference materials where necessary and appropriate. COMPUTER USAGE POLICIES MDU’s computing facilities are provided for the use of registered users. All computer users are responsible for using the facilities in an effective, efficient, ethical and lawful manner. The University views the use of computer facilities as a privilege, not a right, and seeks to protect legitimate computer users by imposing sanctions on those who abuse the privilege. COMPUTER USE POLICY This policy provides guidelines for the appropriate and inappropriate use of the computing resources of MDU. It applies to all users of the University's computing resources, including students, faculty, employees, alumni and guests of the University.

EMAIL AND INTERNET USE POLICY 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G All email communications sent or received at the university should be considered official university correspondence. Such correspondence is subject to standards of good taste, propriety, courtesy and consideration. Emails may be retrieved by the university under certain circumstances, such as an internal investigation as they are subject to subpoena and discovery in legal proceedings. Respect for others’ privacy dictates that students should not try to access another individual’s messages without the individual’s permission. Most computers at MDU have access to the Internet. It is expected that all individuals using MDU’s computers will use good judgment in determining the sites visited and the amount of time spent using the Internet. RULES CONCERNING USE OF COMPUTERS The following rules apply to all users of the MDU’s computers. Violations of any ofthese rules may be possibly unlawful. An individual’s computer use privileges may be suspended immediately upon the discovery of a possible violation of these rules: 1.Computer users agree to use facilities and accounts for University related activities only. 2.Accounts are considered the property of MingDao University. 3.The IT Director or a MDU Administrator working in this capacity must approve all access to central computer systems, including the issuing of passwords. 4.Authorization for the use of the accounts is given for specific academic purposes. 5.Attempts to use accounts without authorization or to use accounts for other than their intended purposes are all violations of the University’s rules. 6.Electronic communications facilities, such as E-MAIL are for MDU related activities only.

COPYRIGHT POLICY 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G MingDao University is committed to compliance with all National laws regarding copyright. Copyright is essential a form of protection for individuals who have developed, created or authored literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is extended to both published, as well as unpublished works, and is extended to any author, regardless of their nationality or domicile. All members of the MDU university – students, faculty and staff members and administrators – are responsible for complying with the requirements of the copyright law. It will be assumed that the copyright law applies to all material, unless one of the following applies: ● The work is in the public domain, including works by the Taiwanese Government ● The use of the work qualifies as fair use under the copyright law ● Prior written permission from the author has been obtained, or appropriate royalties or licensing fees have been paid in exchange for usage rights Note that all printed materials – in text or digital form - should be assumed to be copyrighted. The use of a copyrighted notice © is no longer required. The unauthorized use of copyrighted material is called an infringement. As noted above, national copyright protection is extended to digital media accessible through the Internet. Uploading or downloading digital material or works is an infringement of the copyright owner’s exclusive rights. This includes peer-topeer file sharing. All members of the MDU community who disregard this policy do so at their own risk and assume any liability, which may include criminal and/or civil penalties. Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages. PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY Intellectual Property MingDao (“MDU”) library respects intellectual property rights when procuring and using photographs. We seek written permission from photographers for the use and reproduction of their photographic art in publications, Web pages and displays. When appropriate, we purchase the copyright with respect to photographs and work out agreements for attributing authorship to the photographers. 27 When book cover art, newspaper masts, logos, photographs, illustrations and other art from sources off-campus are needed for a publication, MDU’s Department of Community Relations Division staff members seek official permission. If the artwork is needed for a Web page, a member of MDU’s Web Management and Services staff researches and completes the online process for permission and release of the works for reproduction and online use and display. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G When the library is aware that photographs taken by MDU students or faculty are being considered for use in a MDU publication, a staff member contacts the individual involved for permission to use the photograph. The photographer is asked to provide a written consent and release for the photo’s reproduction and use and a mutually acceptable approach to the attribution of authorship issue is arranged. Photo Credits As a general rule, the library avoids the use of photo credits in recruitment publications. Our usual agreement with our most frequently used photographers provides MDU with the ownership of the copyrights with respect to the photos from the shoots we arrange and purchase and use of the photos without printed credit. When photo credits are stipulated as a part of a purchase of photography, we include them. Photo Release As a condition of their employment with MDU, our faculty and staff are required to consent to being photographed and grant a perpetual, royalty-free and irrevocable license to MDU with respect to reproduction, display or other use of any photographs in connection with their employment with MDU. Students, as a condition of their enrollment and attendance at MDU, also consent to being photographed on campus and grant a perpetual, royalty-free and irrevocable license to MDU with respect to reproduction, display or other use of any photographs depicting them on campus or in connection with their coursework at MDU. Still or video photo shoots may be informal (candid shots of campus scenes, athletic events, performance groups, large groups or activities) or formal (planned visits to classrooms, laboratories or offices; directory shoots or athletics headshots with professional backgrounds; or video shoots on campus) in nature. All such photographic images taken by MDU faculty or staff and the copyrights with respect thereto are and/or become the property of MDU’s Library. The digital photos or video footage are added to the University’s library of images, which becomes a resource for the University’s Web site and publications. Informal Photo Shoots 28 The Library attempts to inform the campus when informal photography projects are under way. Announcements are made through the campus newspaper, and/or in some instances signs are posted in areas of the campus. Formal Photo Shoots 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G When a request is received or a need arises for images of particular individuals or settings, a library staff member contacts the appropriate faculty member or department to schedule the photographer. Preferring a natural, realistic approach, MDU seldom stages its photographs. Faculty members are encouraged to inform classes of the impending photo shoot. The faculty member will be supplied with an announcement to be made to the class with suggestions for making the shoot as effective as possible. The faculty member is asked to permit the photographer to make an announcement upon arrival at the classroom. The photographer will introduce himself, briefly explain his purpose and allow students who wish not to be photographed to move to a part of the room that will not be included in the photos. Students not wishing to participate must inform the photographer of their unwillingness prior to the photograph being taken. Students participating in a photo shoot are giving their permission for the photos to be used as the University sees fit by participating in the photo shoot. Students are permitted to opt out of the photo shoot, if that is their choice, by informing the photographer in advance of the photo being taken and removing themselves from the photo shoot area. Choice Of Photos Library staff members, in consultation as possible with requesting departments, are responsible for choosing images on behalf of MDU for use on the University Website, University publications and in University video projects. Occasionally images are shared with outside entities making requests. Choices for photographs are made with great sensitivity to the following: ● the goal for the message(s) to be communicated, ● the quality of the photo, ● providing a truthful representation of the University, and ● the impact of the photo on the audience’s perception of MDU Although we attempt to be as objective as we can in our photo choices, we recognize that making photograph selections is a subjective task. If a photo does not meet MDU’s qualifications, rather than compromising the reputation of MDU by utilizing a photograph that is inadequate or inappropriate, a photo shoot will be rescheduled to obtain an appropriate photo. 29 Ways to Opt Out of Photos Being Published Directory Listings: Faculty and staff may choose not to publish their photos (or personal information) by making their preference known in writing to staff of the library at MDU. Make sure to update your personal information for use in MDU’s directories. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Formal Shoots: After arranging a photo shoot, the library provides an announcement that faculty members may use to make their classes aware of the scheduled time for the shoot. The photographer will make an announcement allowing students to opt out of the shoot by informing the photographer in advance of the photograph being taken and moving to another part of the room if that is their choice. Procedures to Have a Photo Removed From Use Concerns about the use of individual images on the Web site or photos in print publications may be communicated to the library. We will try to resolve individual complaints while still meeting the important goal of visually representing the University. We ask your patience in this process. Expense is sometimes a consideration in our ability to change a photograph; sometimes an inventory of printed publications must be exhausted before the change can be put in place. With respect to claims of copyright infringement relating to photographs shown on our Web site, we have a Designated Agent to receive notices of such claims and written procedures to deal with such claims in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. REGISTERING COMPLAINTS AGAINST UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES If any student deems it necessary to file a grievance against a Ming Dao employee he or she must report such incident to the Office of Student Affairs. Every effort will be made to protect the privacy of any parties involved. The student is entitled and encouraged to have an informal discussion with the head of the Center of Guidance and Counseling. If an informal conversation does not result in a satisfactory resolution, or if you are not comfortable speaking about 30 the matter with the Head, then the student should discuss the situation with the employee’s supervisor or the Director of the Office of Student Affairs. In cases of discrimination or sexual harassment, MDU encourages the student to go directly to the employee’s supervisor or Director of the Office of Student Affairs. Any complaint that is not in writing, that is, a verbal complaint, is considered an informal complaint. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G After an informal discussion, if the student wishes to file a formal grievance, he/she may submit such in writing to the Center of Guidance and Counseling. However, before filing a formal charge, the complaining party should first make a good faith effort to meet and confer with the party against whom he or she has a complaint in an effort to resolve the matter. The formal report should contain a statement of the problem or complaint, the facts and details of the situation, pertinent dates and the names and positions of the parties involved. The grievance must be signed and dated. Also, student may withdraw a complaint at any time during the complaint process. A withdrawal must be made in writing to the Center of Counseling and Guidance. Upon receipt of a written formal complaint by a student, the Office of Student Affairs will hold a appeal meetingt to discuss the complaint. After such an investigation, the members of appeal committee will make a determination as to whether the grievance has merit as alleged. If the alleged grievance is deemed justified, MDU will take whatever steps it deems appropriate to correct any grievance suffered by the complaining student. REMEDIES If it is determined that a grievance has appropriate support, the persons or departments that are responsible for such violation will be dealt with in an appropriate manner by the supervisors or directors of such persons or programs, in accordance with applicable provisions, if any, of contracts, employment regulations, faculty and employee handbooks, or the like. REVIEW BY A REPRESENTATIVE COMMITTEE The student may appeal determination to an appeal committee consisting of members of the administration, faculty and student body. This committee has the right to review determinations and to reverse or amend such decisions.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Cheating and Plagiarism Cheating is defined as the attempt, successful or not, to give or obtain aid and/ or information by illicit means in meeting any academic requirements, including examinations. Cheating includes falsifying reports and documents. Plagiarism is defined as the use, without proper acknowledgment, of the ideas, phrases, sentences, or larger units of discourse from another writer or speaker. Plagiarism includes the unauthorized copying of software and the violation of copyright laws. Procedures for Handling Cheating and Plagiarism by Students Any faculty member discovering a case of suspected cheating or plagiarism shall make a responsible effort to confront the student with the evidence. If the student can explain the incident to the satisfaction of the faculty member, no further action is warranted. If the student has admitted or has been found guilty of cheating or plagiarism, the university will handle the following procedure: ● The faculty member ought to inform the student’s class teacher and the office of student affairs. ● The office of student affairs will inform the student to write a report form on the student’s cheating or plagiarism. ● The office of student affairs will determine penalty depending on the school rules. ● This record shall be destroyed upon graduation or other forms of separation from the University if no further incidents of cheating or plagiarism occur. Responsibilities of Students Concerning Academic Dishonesty Students are responsible for knowing the policies regarding cheating and plagiarism and the penalties for such behavior. Failure of an individual faculty member to remind the student as to what constitutes cheating and plagiarism does not relieve the student of this responsibility. Students must take care not to provide opportunities for others to cheat. Students must inform a faculty member if cheating or plagiarism is taking place. DISCIPLINARY STANDINGS A student’s status with regard to discipline is regulated by the following definitions, 33 which are reflected in each student’s record kept at the office of student affairs. Good Standing 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G The status of good standing indicates that a student has been duly enrolled at the University and is eligible to participate in all activities of the University. A student is presumed to be in good standing unless the student engages in an established misconduct. Warning This status indicates that a student has been through the judicial process due to the seriousness of his/her conduct and has been cautioned that further behavior of the same or similar type will be cause for further disciplinary action by MDU. Disciplinary Probation This status indicates that the student’s behavior has raised serious questions concerning the student’s status as a member of the University community. The student will be given a stated period during which his/her conduct will establish whether he/she is to be returned to good standing by having met definite requirements in behavior or whether he/she is to be suspended or dismissed from MDU. The sanction of disciplinary probation may be imposed on a student by the office of student affairs. The student could represent the University or hold office during the period of probation. A statement of offense and decision will be placed in the office of student affairs. If, while on disciplinary probation, a student is found responsible for a further infraction of University policies/regulations, the student will be subject to the possibility of suspension/expulsion from Ming Dao University (MDU). Expulsion This status, the most serious disciplinary action taken by the University, indicates the immediate, involuntary and permanent separation of a student from Ming Dao University because of established gross misconduct on the part of a student. After notice of expulsion, a student must leave the campus immediately. The expelled student does not have the privilege to apply for readmission to Ming Dao University. Statement of offense and decision will be placed in the student’s file in the office of student affairs. A student’s transcript will include documentation of expulsion. A student dismissed for disciplinary reasons at any time shall not be entitled to receive a refund or claim anything. Appeals to Disciplinary Standings A student may appeal any of the penalties in writing to the office of student affairs within ten (10) working days. 34 DISCIPLINARY RECORDS Ming Dao University (MDU) reserves the right to keep records for a longer period of time if specified in the sanction letter. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G STUDENT DEVELOPMENT GOALS OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT Under the supervision of the Center for Internship Service and Alumni Development, the University has student services to assist students with their various needs. The goal of effective and worthwhile student services is to assist students and to directly involve the students in the affairs of the institution, fostering a sense of community among students, faculty and administration. THE ROLE OF THE COUNSELOR The counselors in each department are instrumental in advising students about academic and personal issues. The counselors are particularly knowledgeable about the academic requirements of the various programs to be offered at the University, and serve as valuable resources for students. All incoming undergraduate students are required to complete Career and Competency Assessment (UCAN Network, Ministry of Education), which focuses on helping students determine a career path, matching their skills and interests. ACADEMIC ADVISING OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT As previously mentioned, MDU is an institution that emphasizes not only academic and professional growth, but also personal development and the nurturing of each student. The Program Head and Center for Internship Service and Alumni Development advise and mentor students with regards to academic and professional decisions. In addition, each faculty member is receptive to developing a professional, yet personal relationship with each student. As such, the students should feel comfortable, if the need arises, to seek advice of a faculty member with regards to academic and professional matters. PLACEMENT SERVICES Students approaching graduation should contact the Center for Internship Service and Alumni Development. Students will be provided with accurate and timely information regarding the relationship of their programs of study to specific 35 occupations and professions.

Upon review of the documentation, the Office of Student Affairs develops a letter of acknowledgement of the disability and the appropriate accommodations that will be provided to the student. The Office of Student Affairs contacts the student’s coordinators to notify them of the authorized adjustments. In case the adjustments do not work, the student must notify the Office of Student Affairs, to ensure timely arrangements. Students that require extra time for testing may take examinations under the supervision of the Student Counseling Center of Students Affairs, in agreement with the course professor.

REPEATED COURSES Students who fail to achieve passing grades for the semester are not eligible to retake the examination and henceforth shall retake the compulsory courses. A student, who has asked for leave, can apply for a make-up examination for the semester no more than one time, and there is no make-up examination if s/he fails to apply for it in time. The application of make-up examination of graduating student should be made before the end of a semester. The rules of application will be stipulated separately. SYSTEM OF EVALUATION For every course offered at Mingdao University, the professor is to provide to the students at the beginning of the course a course syllabus that contains the following written information: (i) the method of evaluation and (ii) course requirements and value towards the final grade. GRADES The following chart sets forth the grading system utilized by the University: Master Degree Full Mark 100 Grade Point Per semester Credithour A+ 90~100 4.3 90~100 A 85~ 89 4.0 85~ 89 A- 80~ 84 3.7 80~ 84 B+ 77~ 79 3.3 77~ 79 B 73~ 76 3.0 73~ 76 B- 70~72 2.7 70~72 C+ 67~69 2.3 C 63~66 2.0 C- 60~62 1.7 F ≦ 59 0 Level Bachelor Degree Full Mark 100 ≦ 69 53 W( Withdrawal) None None I(Incomplete) None None T(Transfer) None None P(Pass) None None 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Grades “A+” through “C-” are considered passing grades. Grades "W" and "I" indicate that no grades were earned for the course. A "W" grade indicates that the student withdrew from the course. An "I" grade indicates that the student was passing the course, but failed to complete all the required course work. The instructor, in his/her discretion may grant an "I" grade instead of an "F", pending completion of the course work by the student within a specified time arranged by the instructor and told to the student. It is the student's responsibility to follow-up with the instructor to complete the course work. If the course work is not completed by the arranged time, the “I” grade becomes an “F". For students receiving transfer credit from other institutions, a grade of “T” will appear on their transcript. Courses for which a “T” is given will not be used in computing the student’s grade point average. Grades for the courses for writing Master thesis or basic undergraduate courses are presented with “pass” or “failed”, and the credits for completing basic undergraduate courses are not counted as graduation credits. If students have questions about their grades, they have to fill in written form to apply for alteration to the Office of Academic Affairs within two weeks after they have received their transcript. A student's grade point average ("GPA") is computed by dividing the sum of all grade points earned at the University by the total number of credits in all courses for which grades “A” through “F” were received. Courses in which a “T” or “P” grade was received will not be used in computing a student's GPA. TRANSFERABILITY OF CREDITS Students seeking to transfer credits earned at another postsecondary institution to MingDao, or from MingDao to other institutions should note that the transferability of credits is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not credits will be accepted by another institution of the student’s choice. The policy of the University regarding the evaluation of course content from other universities to determine its equivalency with a course offered at MingDao University is that approximately three-fourths of the course content must match the content of the course offered at MingDao University if it is to be accepted for transfer. For evaluation purposes, students must provide a copy of the course description for the course to be evaluated and the school catalog for 54 the time period during which the course was taken. Evaluations are handled on a case by case basis. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Decisions regarding transferability of credits are not necessarily made prior to enrollment. Only students who have been fully admitted to MingDao may submit their transcripts and course descriptions for evaluation. Students are encouraged to submit official transcripts as soon as possible. MingDao recognizes credits from accredited higher education degree granting institutions, and will not transfer credits for courses below college level. Evaluation of transferability of credits is performed by the Department may seek the advice of Curriculum Committee in a specific discipline to perform course evaluations. Courses may be denied for transfer under the discretion of the Registration Department depending on the date courses were originally taken. A grade of Cor higher is required to receive transfer credit. However, grades for classes that were transferred from another university are shown as “T” on the transcript and will not be used in computing the student’s grade point average. For graduate students, no more than 9 credits will be transferred; and other documentation may be requested, such as sample of coursework. TRANSFER LIMITATION Undergraduate students can apply for transfer to another department between their first and second years or between their second and third years. Students can transfer to another department only once, and must complete all required courses and credits in the department to which they transfer before they graduate. Students who wish to transfer to another department may be required to take a transfer test and obtain the approval from the Transfer Review committee. After student receives the approval of transfer to another department, he/she cannot apply to cancel or change it. CHANGE OF PROGRAM OR MAJOR Students who contemplate a change from one program or major to another should discuss this possibility with the advisor, original department chair, original school dean, intended department chair, and intended school dean to determine the effect such a change would make on the student’s satisfactory academic progress. The university defines satisfactory academic progress as completion of the total program in no more than 1.5 times the number of semesters described in this catalog for the program. All credits attempted count toward the total program length of 1.5 times the number of semesters required for completion of the major program. If a student changes his/her major or program, only those credits that are common 55 to both programs will be accepted toward the new degree program. LEAVE OF ABSENCE 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Students may request a leave of absence from their academic program in cases where personal circumstances temporarily disable them from achieving progress. Leave of absences are granted with the reasonable expectation that the student will return from the leave. The University may grant leave of absence to a student who did not provide a request earlier due to unforeseen circumstances. In these cases, the University will determine the beginning date for the approved leave of absence, and will collect the request from the student at a later date. All requests for a leave of absence must be made in writing, signed and dated. The original advisor, original department chair, original school dean, intended department chair, and intended school dean will evaluate all requests on a caseby-case basis; these must include the reason for the student’s request, and are subject to further documentation before receiving authorization. All documentation will remain confidential at the Office of Academic Affair. Notification of authorized leave of absence will be issued to the student, including the scheduled date for return. This notification will also be made available to concerning departments, such as Office of Student Affair, Accounting Department or Office of International Affairs. Students must return to the university by the date for which the period for the authorized leave of absence ends. If a student fails to enroll in the semester following the last term in the authorized leave of absence, the student will have failed to maintain continuous enrollment, and will be treated as a withdrawal. After two consecutive semesters of non-enrollment, students must follow the procedures for readmission, outlined in this catalog. A student returning from a leave of absence is required to resume training at the same point of the academic program that he or she began. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS Overview Students must make satisfactory progress in the total amount of time taken to complete the required course sequence as outlined by semester in the MingDao University Catalog. To maintain satisfactory progress, the student must: ● Graduate students: complete their total program in no more than 2 times the number of semesters described in this catalog for the program ● Undergraduate students: complete their total program in no more than 1.5 times the number of semesters described in this catalog for the program ● The University operates a strict attendance system for students. Missing (excused or unexcused) over 1/3 of the class periods during a semester for a class will result 56 in the student being excluded from the final exam and receiving a grade of zero (0) for the course. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Factors that may influence satisfactory progress and that may result in extended time are: ● deviation from the catalog requirements in the number of hours taken per semester ● deviation in the course sequence recommended ● withdrawal from classes ● repeated courses ● grades of “Incomplete” ● changing the major or the program ● grade appeal process ● earning more than one degree at a time Definition of Satisfactory Academic Progress Each student enrolled at Mingdao University must demonstrate that he or she is making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of his or her chosen program of study. The criteria that each student must meet to qualify as making "Satisfactory Academic Progress" are defined below. A student who is failing to meet this criteria at any point outlined below will not meet the standard of "Satisfactory Academic Progress”. Any of three remedies may be applied if a student is not making Satisfactory Academic Progress. These are as follows: academic probation, restricted class load status and/or termination from the program of study. The University adopts academic year and course credit system to academic affairs. The academic duration of bachelor degree for all departments and independent programs is for 4 years, and it can be extended for 2 more years. Disable students can extend their academic duration for 4 more years. Undergraduate studentsof all departments shall take no fewer than 128 credits required for graduation. Students can extend their academic duration to no more than 3 years due to pregnancy, childbirth, and taking care of child under the age of 3. The study period for postgraduate students to pursue Master degree (including degree program) in our school is one to four years. The study period for postgraduate students to pursue Doctorate degree (including degree program) in our school is two to seven years. Students with disabilities are able to extend their studies up to four years. Students due to pregnancy, childbirth, bringing up children 3 years of age or below or applying for pursuing Doctor degree directly are allowed to apply for 57 an extension of up to three-year study period. The semester scores and the study period of the study-termination temperately are not counted. Qualitative Criteria for Satisfactory Academic Progress 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G First, student must complete your degree program within a certain timeframe, which may vary according to your student status and program. This is referred to as "graduate credits." Second, student must successfully complete a required credits you attempt. This component is referred to as your cumulative completed credits. Conditions That May Result In Course-reduction Applicatio or Termination The following describes the conditions under which a student course reduce application or terminated completely from a program of study. If a student can’t adapt himself/herself to a course learning and his/her situation coincides with the regulations listed on Article 14, s/he can applyfor a withdrawal from the course-taking (limited to one course) at the 12th week in every semester. A delayed application will not be accepted. Afterhis/her withdrawal, The total course credits of the courses s/he takes should meet the regulations of the minimum course-credit taking in that semester. The credit fee for the course s/he withdraws from cannot be refunded. If s/he owes this credit fee, s/he still needs to pay it off. If students of each department or each undergraduate degree program, oversea Chinese students, foreign students, overseas students of Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs returning to their studies, aboriginal students, students of expatriate staff and the university sports merit students in line with the conditions prescribed by the Ministry of Education have two-thirds of total number of credits failed in two consecutive semesters, they should be dropout. INCOMPLETE GRADE IN A COURSE If a student receives a grade of A, B, C or D in any course, the student will have successfully completed that course. If the student receives a grade of "I", he or she must successfully complete the required work for that course within a specified time arranged by the instructor and communicated to the student, but no later than the end of the semester following the semester in which the "I" was received. It is the student's responsibility to follow up with the instructor to complete the course work. If the course work is not completed by the arranged time, the "I" becomes an "F". REPEAT COURSES 58 A student may repeat a course to improve the overall cumulative grade point average. If a student has an "F" and repeats the course and receives a better grade, for example, an "A", then only the "A" is counted in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average. Credits attempted and earned for the second attempt are counted in lieu of those earned for the initial attempt. 2015- 2016 STUDE N T CA T A LO G Though both attempts remain part of the student's permanent record, the cumulative grade point average will reflect only the grade earned on the second attempt. A student who earns grade of “F” in any course included in his or her program of study must repeat that course and complete it successfully before taking any course with respect to which the failed course is a prerequisite and before graduation. A student who has successfully completed a course, but wishes to improve the grade received in the course, may also repeat the course. If the course is repeated, the grade earned for the last time the course is taken replaces the previous grade when the overall GPA is calculated. All grades for all courses attempted will remain on the student's transcript, however. PROCEDURE FOR GRADE APPEALS Student’s semester grades cannot be altered after they are sent to the Office of Academic Affairs by course instructors. If students have questions about their grades, they have to fill in written form to apply for alteration to the Office of Academic Affairs within two weeks after they have received their transcript. The alteration of grade must be submitted by course instructor, who needs to provide written documentation to explain the cause of the error with the consent of the department affairs meeting and signed by the Dean of Academic Affairs Office to alter the record. GRADUATION POLICY Undergraduate students who complete their period of study and all the subjects and credits regulated by each department or degree program and pass the conduct score of each semester; and meet the qualification of related certificates or certificates for language ability of each department or degree program, if any, are allowed to graduate and get the Bachelor degree diplomas.

It is, therefore, that the college offers undergraduate and graduate programs that cultivate students' ability to perform professional performance and solve problems. With regard to cultivating the professional performance capacity for students, various capacities would be suggested for students of the college, especially, the “mastery of knowledge”, “applications of professional proficiency”, “information literacy”. Furthermore, the “acquirement of professional certificate” will lay the foundations for obtain employment of students after graduating from the college. Furthermore, a job calls for excellent problem-solving skills of a high order, therefore, the college offers undergraduate and graduate programs special focused on the ability of “positive thinking’, “creative thinking”, “planning analysis” , and “crisis management” for students. Moreover, the “social integration” capacity for students including the “enterprising spirit ”, “self-management”, “communication and coordination”, and “team collaboration” are also the main points of life literacy for students. With regard to enhancing the humanities literacy for students, the college suggested that theoretical study must be closely integrated with “erudition and elegance” capacity. Therefore, it could be accomplished primarily by offering various general education courses. The educational objectives of the college are distinguished by four obvious aspects, including ‘professional certificates, research, employment, entrepreneurship’. Therefore, students will have the professional capacities with professional certificates after graduating from the College of Management. Moreover, they will 64 also become professional managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs in the future.

Strengthening the International Finance Operation Ability: Our department goes through the international financial courses, including International Finance and Exchange, International Financial Management and Financial Markets, to enhance students’ international financial knowledge and operation skills. 3. Emphasizing on Financial Laws and Relevant Regulations: Graduates are prepared to be professional, entrepreneurial, academic and reliable leaders or managers who understand the complexities involved in business decision-making, the interface of business and policy, and the importance of social responsibility and business ethics. 4. Equipped with Information Infrastructure and Real Financial Exchange Environment: our department sets up a specific financial operation classroom and several laboratories to receive updated financial information. These practical and situational teaching environments are exclusively available for our students. 5. Cultivating Foreign Language Ability: Our department puts emphasis on students’ English competencies in listening, speaking, reading and writing via diverse courses, e.g., “Management English” and “Professional English in Finance”. 6. Obtaining the Professional Licenses and Certificates: Our department encourages students to take various tests to get professional 69 licenses and financial certificates.

The Department is the only institution in Taiwan offering an integrated system for advanced education in agriculture, including the science and technology involved in organic agriculture (e.g. organic farming, marketing, and healthy seed/seedling), structural agriculture (e.g. greenhouse engineering and plant factory), and leisure agriculture. We have a 12-hactare certificated organic farm, a 0.6-hectare rain shelter, and a 1.8-hectare orchard in our Department. The breadth of training that the Department offers agricultural engineers permits entry into many exciting new fields of endeavor. The Department emphasizes both classroom lectures and field practice, and makes them become excellent experts in this field so as to be employed by local or oversea agricultural industries. To adapt to the changing environments in both academy and industry, the basic requirement for students will be: 1. To be familiar with agriculture concept and information. 2. To gain a broader perspective of agriculture-related issues. 3. To provide expertise for the formulation and evaluation of public policy. 4. To facilitate the process by which new research results are transferred to agrobusinesses to stimulate economic development. 5. To participate in training activities in agriculture. 6. To participate in cross-disciplinary research programs campus-wide and in industry, using campus research strengths and facilities to solve practical problems of national importance. We offer both a bachelors, -and masters program in science at our department. For students who are interested in related fields, the MDU Department of PostModern Agriculture is the best choice.
