In 1992 the college was renamed Lien Ho College of Technology and Commerce. On July 1, 1995, the Board of Directors donated the school to the Ministry of Education, and the college became a public institution named the National Lien Ho College of Technology and Commerce. In 1999, the College was reorganized into an institute of technology as National Lien Ho Institute of Technology. On August 1, 2003, the institute was upgraded to a university status as National United University.
