| 7. 2026 Scholarship Awardee |
| National Chengchi University (NCCU) is excited to welcome participants to ISS 2026. However, we wish to inform applicants from Mainland China (PRC passport holders) of an important update regarding entry permit requirements. 政大誠摯歡迎大家加入 2026 年國際暑期課程 (ISS)。然而，基於入臺證政策，我們希望提醒來自中國大陸（持有PRC護照）的學員關於入境要求的相關規定。 | |
| 1. Updated Government Regulation | According to the latest regulations announced by the National Immigration Agency, individuals entering Taiwan for short-term professional exchange purposes—including participants of the NCCU ISS—are required to submit a detailed daily schedule as part of the entry permit application. The proposed schedule must align with the declared purpose of stay. Applications that fail to meet this requirement may be subject to rejection. 根據移民署最新規定，以「短期專業交流」名義來臺之人士（包含參與本校國際暑期課程之學員），申請入臺證時須提供每日活動行程。相關行程內容須與來臺目的相符，否則可能影響入境申請結果。 |
| 2. Program Eligibility for PRC Passport Holders | To comply with government regulations and ensure consistent academic management, participants holding a PRC passport are eligible to enroll only in the six-week Academic Plus Program. Short-term or partial-period enrollment is not permitted for this applicant group. 為配合相關政策規定及校內行政作業，持中國大陸護照之學員僅可報名 六週制 Academic Plus Program，恕不開放報名短期課程。 |
