Promotions of Faculties

All promotions will be handled once every academic year. The promotion will be approved after passing three levels of Teacher Evaluation Committee review, departmental (graduate institute), college, and university; a promotion report will be submitted to the Ministry of Education for teacher certification.

Full-time faculties apply for the examination of promotion

Full-time faculties whose current positions and qualifications have been verified by the Ministry of Education and who continue serving in school for the regulated seniority as the followings can apply for the examination of promotion:

  1. Lecturer promoted to Assistant Professor: Served as a lecturer for three years or above (the sum seniority of teaching in YZU must be over one year) with excellent teaching and service and has published research publications equivalent to doctoral dissertations. But the lecturers who apply for the promotion to assistant professors verified by the examination of their diplomas after receiving their doctoral degrees are exceptions of this regulation. Those who got the qualifications as lecturers by the time Article 30-1 of “Amendments of Statute Governing the Appointment of Educators” were amended and entered into force can be promoted to associate professors rather than assistant professors.
  2. Assistant Professor promoted to Associate Professor: Served as an assistant professor for three years or above (the sum seniority of teaching in YZU must be over one year) with excellent teaching and service and has published valuable research publications.
  3. Associate Professor promoted to Professor: Served as an associate professor for three years or above (the sum seniority of teaching in YZU must be over two years) with excellent teaching and service and has published valuable research publications.

The calculation of the seniority applicable for faculty promotion shall be conducted in accordance with the date of the starting service year and month recorded in the teacher’s certificate of the current position issued by the Ministry of Education, which shall be counted until the end of the semester during which the application is submitted (July 31st). The seniority of those teaching in other universities may count as well, but not for those teaching in junior colleges.
