4. Calculation of Teaching Period
Calculated from the effective date of appointment at the respective rank, based on the university appointment letter.
During the appointment process, if teaching is conducted under a temporary assignment, this period does not count toward the rank-specific teaching experience.
The appointment period must be at least one semester. That is, if the effective date of appointment is after the semester begins (August 1 / February 1), the semester eligible for Ministry of Education certificate application is calculated from the following semester.
Example: A part-time lecturer who obtains a doctoral degree and completes the third-level faculty evaluation receives an Assistant Professor appointment with an effective date of October 30, 2022. Since the current semester (2022 Academic Year, 1st Semester) is less than one full semester, the calculation starts from the 2nd semester of the 2022 Academic Year. The faculty member may apply for the Ministry of Education Assistant Professor Certificate in the 5th semester (2nd Semester of the 2024 Academic Year).
