Tip: You can do this step at the same time you register for the summer school!

Step 3: Official Matching & Summer School Finalization

Once you have completed Step 1 (Internal Interest) and Step 2 (Portal Application), you must finalize your status to secure your spot in Taipei.

Phase A: Complete the Portal Matching

You must follow the specific workflow on the portal you chose. Your application is not "official" until the system generates an admission letter.

For TEEP Applicants: Monitor your email for a message from the TEEP system or your host PI.
- Log in to the TEEP Portal to accept the offer once it is issued.
For IIPP Applicants: The IIPP system requires a "Matching Confirmation" between you and the PI.
- Once the PI "claims" you in the system, you must log in to the IIPP Portal to click "Confirm" within the deadline (usually 1–2 weeks).

Phase B: Final Confirm Your Summer School Spot

Mandatory: After you have received your official admission notice from TEEP or IIPP, talk to your local NTNU PI with his/her permission to submit the Final Arrival & Summer School Form.

This form is separate from the TEEP/IIPP portals. It is used by the NTNU Summer School Organizing Committee to arrange your Domitory, Workshop Week materials, and Welcome Dinner.

Important Note on Housing:

NTNU dormitory housing is only available during the summer break (June – mid-August). If your internship starts before June or extends past mid-August, you must discuss alternative housing arrangements with your host PI, as you will need to arrange off-campus stay yourself during those periods.
