In Taiwan, to date the Ministry of Education only recognizes web-based course units as a means to gain credits for classroom-based degree courses. A student needs to pass the highly competitive college entrance exam to be able to enter a formal degree course, and credits gained by Internet study may not exceed one-third of the credits needed for a degree.
反觀國內，教育部迄今只承認網路學分班，學員必須另外通過競爭激烈的入學考試，才能進入正式的學位課程，而且網路學分以學位所需學分的三分之一為上限。
