If you stay at a hotel, you must register at the hotel front desk with your passport and receive the same registration form.
The Registration Form of Residence for Visitors from Overseas is a required document for visa applications, so please keep it in a safe place.

Please note that you are only allowed to change once, and any resulting differences in tuition fees or scholarships must be adjusted as follows:
· Tuition Fee Differences:
Any outstanding balance must be paid by the student in a timely manner. If there is an excess amount, it may be deducted from the tuition fee for the following academic year.
· Scholarship Differences:
Any unpaid scholarship amount can be deducted from the tuition fees for the following academic year. However, any excess scholarship amount must be refunded by the student and paid back along with the tuition fee for the next academic year.
5. If you withdraw from the dormitory during the semester with more than 30 days remaining in your contract, 30 days accommodation fee will be deducted and the rest will be refunded; if the remaining stay is less than 30 days, the accommodation fees will not be refunded.

1) Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral Students
If you are unable to complete your studies within the normal academic term, you must apply for an extension of stay. Only after receiving approval from the college can you continue to stay in the dormitory. Dormitory fees will then be charged according to the standard for self-financed accommodation.
2) Chinese Language Students (Semester System)
Accommodation is generally provided for only one semester. Whether an extension is possible depends on the number of international students and dormitory availability, which will be decided accordingly.
