International Master‵s Program in Asia-Pacific Studies

Once students pass their final dissertation defense, they need to complete the graduation process to be able to get their official diploma.

Please bear in mind that students often need to authenticate their diploma with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international validation. Please refer to the Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for further information on this issue and see additional information below.

Step 1: Uploading your dissertation

Go to the Thesis Uploading Portal at the NCCU Online Library and click “Upload Papers”. Enter your credentials and begin the process.

Both the thesis uploading manual and NCCU watermark are available at the portal (not required for electronic files being uploaded).  

For e-upload, use the following format:

1. Title
2. Other title page
3. Table of Contents
4. List of Figures and Tables (if applicable)
5. Abstract
6. Main Body
7. References

Once the uploading file process is completed, it will take some time (from a few minutes to several hours) for the Library to verify it.

Students will receive a notification via email. 

Students must print out the “Letter of Authorization for Thesis and Dissertations” and include it in their dissertation-bound copy. 

Step 2: Submitting hard copies

After uploading the dissertation online, pick up the “Eligible Paper/Accreditation Letter” form signed by the dean, and include it in the hard copies along with the “Letter of Authorization for Thesis and Dissertation”.

Two copies of the thesis must be submitted to the NCCU Main Library. One copy of the thesis should be submitted to the IMAS Office. Either the hard-bound or soft-bound thesis is allowed for final submission.

Printing shops usually take 3-4 working days (fewer days with an additional fee). We recommend that students print their dissertation at the printing shop on campus.

Please make sure to follow the required format before printing (download the complete guidelines in the Downloads section): 

1. Front Cover with “University Name, Department Name, Title, Author name, Graduation year”
2. Title page with “University Name, Department Name, Supervisor’s name, Author name, Graduation year”
3. “Letter of Authorization for Theses and Dissertations Full Text Upload”
4. “Eligible Paper/Accreditation Letter” form. (Signed by your supervisor, committee members, IMAS/IDAS director, and the dean)
5. Blank page
6. Table of Contents
7. List of Figures and Tables (if applicable)
8. Abstract
9. Main body
10. References

Step 3: School leaving form and administrative procedure

Print out the “School leaving form” from your iNCCU portal or from the Moltke system. 

Please follow these steps to download it:

1. Click the first option (畢業離校檢核系統)
2. A pop-up should appear
3. Scroll to the bottom of the pop-up, and click the left button titled “請先幫我執行個人化畢業檢核”
4. You should now see the form with a list of places you need to go.
5. Look at the right side column. If it says “免辦” then you don’t need to go there. Locations are listed below for your reference:

• • IMAS office
  • Main campus library
  • Computer Center Building
  • Office of General Affairs
  • OIC Office
  • Dorm Office
  • Registration Office

Step 4: Pick up your diploma from the Registration Office
