The National Open University of Taiwan (NOU) offers both degree and non-degree level courses. There were 16,300 students enrolled for the 2007-2008 academic year, studying at 14 sites around the country.

There were 33,643 students total in the first semester of 2002. Of these, 90% of students were 'regular' students (i.e. seeking degrees.)

In April 2002, the Extension Education Center was set up which manages the provision of extension education. All the courses in the category of extension education are self-funded and on a face-to-face teaching basis. To meet diversified local needs, non-award-bearing courses are firstly offered by both Extension Education Center and regional study centers.
