the People's Republic of China
FOREWORD
The State Education Commission of the People's Republic of China is
responsible for the admission and administration of foreign students.
In order to promote exchanges in the fields of education, science and
technology, and culture between China and other countries and to en-
hance international friendship, especially among young people' the
Commission welcomes foreign students to study in China.
Apart from students sent by organizations in foreign countries, the
Commission accepts foreign students mainly in accordance with agree-
ments between the government of China and other governments. Col-
leges and universities in China are also encouraged to establish links
with those of other countries and to exchange students.
At present about 70 colleges and universities in more than 20 cities
accept foreign students. The specialities open to them are as follows:
liberal arts, sciences' engineering, agriculture, medicine, fine arts and
physical culture.
For the successful cooperation between the Commission and the or-
ganizations concerned of the students' home country and for the con-
venience of foreign students, the relevant regulations are set forth below.*

(1) Undergraduates should apply during the period between April 1
and July 1 preceding the academic year for which application is made.
(2) All other applicants should apply during the period between March
1 and May 1 preceding the academic year for which application is made.
III. Entrance Examinations
A. After submitting their applications, undergraduates in the sci-
ences, engineering, agriculture and medicine are required to take stan-
dard examinations in basic mathematics, physics and chemistry. Those
intending to study management are required to take an examination
in basic mathematics. In principle, these examinations are conducted
by Chinese Embassies (or Consulates) in the students' home countries.
The provisions of this article may be replaced by those of an inter-
governmental agreement, if there is one.
B. Candidates for graduate degrees must first come to China as ad-
vanced students. Candidates for Master's degrees must take written
examinations in subjects required by the school in question (except for
foreign languages and political studies). Candidates for Doctorate de-
grees will be examined orally by their faculty members. The school
will notify students of the time of these examinations and of the subjects
to be covered. Those who fail such examinations may nevertheless be
permitted to stay on as advanced students at a level suited to their
academic background. If they are recipients of Chinese government
scholarships, the amount of their allowances will be reduced accord-
ingly.
C. After they are enrolled, senior advanced students will undergo an
evaluation by their tutors of their knowledge of their subjects. Those
who do not meet the requirements must change their status to that of
general advanced students. If they are recipients of Chinese government
scholarships, the amount of their allowances will be reduced accord-
ingly.
D. Undergraduates in liberal arts and general advanced students
need take no entrance examinations. The admission decision will be
based on the applicant's previous record.
IV. Admission and Registration Procedures
A. It is the State Education Commission that decides on admissions.
The Commission will announce its decisions between the 1st of May
and the 10th of August preceding the academic year for which appli-
cation is made. The Commission will send to the sponsors (or applicant
OCR for page 150
150 CHINA BOUND
in the case of self-supporting students) via the Chinese Embassy or
Consulate in each country the names of successful applicants from that
country together with a notice of admission for each.
B. At the same time, the Commission will instruct the Chinese Em-
bassy or Consulate in each country to issue the necessary visas. The
successful applicant or his/her sponsor may obtain a visa from the
Chinese Embassy or Consulate on presentation of the notice of admis-
sion. In general, students should not apply for visas at Chinese Em-
bassies or Consulates in a third country.
C. The Commission will assign each foreign student to a school ac-
cording to his/her particular field of study or subject of research. The
Application Form for Foreigners Wishing to Study in China provides
space for the applicant to indicate the subject he/she wishes to pursue
in China and three choices of schools.* The Commission will try to take
these preferences into account when making assignments. It cannot,
however, arrange for foreign students to study in organizations not
under its jurisdiction.
D. The Chinese academic year begins in September and foreign stu-
dents who have been admitted are required to register, on the strength
of the notice of admission, between September 1 and September 20.
Those who fail to register within the time limit without valid reason
will be disqualified.
V. Elementary Chinese and Preparatory Courses
A. Students who do not know Chinese, or whose knowledge of it is
below the necessary level, are required to study the language and pass
an examination in it before taking up their specialties. Undergraduates
in Chinese language and literature, Chinese history, Chinese philoso-
phy, history of Chinese art and Chinese medicine, are required to take
a two year course in elementary Chinese. Undergraduates and advanced
students in the sciences, engineering or other specialties are required
to take a one year course in elementary Chinese.
General advanced students studying liberal arts who have attained
an adequate level of competence in Chinese may enter their schools
directly. Supplementary language courses will be organized for them
by their schools, as necessary.
Senior advanced students studying liberal arts and candidates for
advanced degrees should have attained a higher level of competence

in Chinese and be able to use it in pursuing study and research in their
special fields.
B. Students who are required to take entrance examinations in math-
ematics, physics and chemistry under the provisions of Article III. A of
these Regulations, and who reach a certain level in those examinations
yet fail to meet the requirements for admission, may apply for a one
year preparatory course in those subjects. Those who pass the final
course examinations will be promoted to undergraduate classes; those
who fail will be asked to withdraw.
The time spent in preparatory courses does not count toward the
length of specialized studies.
VI. Academic Programs and Evaluations
A. All foreign students are expected to study hard, observe discipline
and complete course work prescribed for them by their schools and
teachers.
B. In principle, students are not permitted to transfer from one school
to another, or to change either the subject or the duration of study that
was agreed upon at the time of admission. In special cases, however,
such changes may be approved by the Commission. For a change of
subject, an application should be filed with the Commission before
November 1 of the year in which the student is first enrolled, through
the diplomatic mission or representative of the sponsoring organization
in China of his/her country or through the sponsor in his/her home
country. For extension of duration of study, an application should be
filed with the Commission before March 1 of the year when the student
is due to leave.
C. Undergraduates should, in principle, follow the regular academic
program established by the school. If necessary, the school authorities
will make adjustments in the student's program. Candidates for ad-
vanced degrees should, in principle, follow the same program as the
Chinese students. General advanced students should follow the pro-
gram originally agreed to; no tutors are allocated to them. Senior ad-
vanced students mainly study independently, with periodic guidance
from the tutors assigned to them.
D. Schools are responsible for arranging field trips, field work and
laboratory work in accordance with the needs of the academic pro-
grams. Students must observe the relevant regulations when they need
to use reference books, archives and other materials.
E. With the exception of senior advanced students, who will receive
written evaluations of their work from their tutors, all other students
will be evaluated on the basis of their class work and of examinations
OCR for page 152
152 CHINA BOUND
taken at the end of each term. The schools will commend or reward
those who excel in their studies and so notify their sponsors, if any.
The sponsors may ask the school authorities for academic records of
the students they are sponsoring.
F. Undergraduates who, in one academic year, fail a total of three
subjects or two major subjects after taking make-up examinations are
required to repeat the grade in question. They are allowed to repeat a
grade no more than twice and to repeat the same grade only once.
Candidates for advanced degrees who fail in their examinations or
thesis defense are allowed to extend the period of their studies in ac-
cordance with regulations formulated by the Chinese government.
General advanced students who fail in their final examinations for
the academic year will be asked to withdraw from school. Schools using
credit systems should follow relevant regulations.
VII. Class Attendance, Suspension of Studies, Withdrawal from
Studies, Disciplinary Action
A. Foreign students are expected to attend classes regularly and are
not allowed to be absent without valid reasons. If they are ill or have
a special need to be absent, they should ask for leave in accordance
with the school regulations.
B. Foreign students should abide by the academic calendar of the
school in which they are enrolled. Chinese schools do not observe the
national holidays or other festivals of foreign countries. However, on
such occasions a foreign student concerned may, on request, be granted
a leave of absence. Foreign students must not ask for leave to travel as
tourists while school is in session.
C. A student who takes a leave of absence for more than two months
at a time and cannot catch up with classes upon his/her return will be
asked to suspend studies or to repeat the term. This must be done no
later than the next academic year.
A student who is absent from class too often without valid reason
will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the regulations
of the school. In serious cases, he/she may be asked to withdraw from
school.
A student who has an extended illness, or who is absent too often, or
whose academic record is not satisfactory will be asked by the school
authority to suspend study or to withdraw. The diplomatic mission and
representative of the sponsoring organization in China of the student's
country, or his/her sponsor at home, if any, will be notified of the action
in writing.
If, for any reason, a foreign student wishes to suspend studies or to
withdraw, or if the government or organizational sponsor decides to
OCR for page 153
APPENDIX B 153
recall its students from China, the diplomatic mission in China of the
student's country, or his/her organizational sponsor should submit a
formal request to the Commission or to the school authorities.
D. A student who breaches the discipline of his/her school, damages
public property, fights with others or behaves in other unacceptable
ways, will be subject to disciplinary action by the school authorities.
According to the circumstances and gravity of the offense, the student
will be given a warning, a serious warning, or a demerit recording, be
placed on probation, asked to withdraw or be expelled from school.
If a student on one year probation has clearly improved his/her con-
duct during the probation period, the disciplinary action against hirn/
her may be rescinded. If a student fails to improve his/her conduct
while on probation, he/she will be asked to withdraw from school.
When the school authorities take disciplinary action against a stu-
dent, they will inform the student and also send written notification of
the action to the diplomatic mission or representative of the sponsoring
organization of the student's country in China, or to the student's spon-
sor at home.
VIII. Observance of Chinese Laws
A. Foreign students must obey the laws and decrees of the Chinese
government, abide by the rules and regulations of their schools and
respect Chinese ways and customs.
B. Foreign students coming to study in China should have ordinary
passports. Before starting school, bearers of diplomatic, service or spe-
cial passports should go through certain special procedures at Chinese
public security departments and submit to them necessary documents
issued by their countries' diplomatic missions or representatives of
their sponsoring organizations in China. Such students will not enjoy
diplomatic or other privileges during their studies in China.
C. Within a short period of time after their arrival in China, foreign
students must obtain residence permits from the local public security
departments.
When a foreign student wishes to travel to other countries, tour the
Hong Kong and Macao regions, or return home for any reason, the
diplomatic mission or representative of the sponsoring organization of
his/her country in China should give written notification to the school
ten days in advance, if possible. With the approval of the school, the
student should go to the local public security department to apply for
the necessary exit and reentry visas.
When a foreign student wishes to visit an area of China to which
foreigners may gain access only with permission, he/she must apply to
the local public security department for a travel permit.

D. Foreign students must observe the Chinese customs regulations
concerning materials to be taken out of China or mailed abroad. The
following items are allowable: textbooks, class handouts and related
materials issued to them by the school, study notes, photographs and
audiovisual materials related to study. Any materials issued by the
school which are not intended for outside circulation must be approved
for exit by the school authorities, who will provide the student with an
itemized certificate of authorization to present to the customs officer.
E. Foreign students who have violated Chinese laws or regulations,
endangered China's national security, disturbed public order or harmed
the interests of others will be punished by the Chinese public security
and judicial departments according to law.
IX. Board, Lodging and Medical Care
A. Chinese schools have separate dining halls for foreign students.
However, foreign students may, if they wish, have meals in the canteens
for Chinese students. They should observe the regulations of the dining
halls and canteens and maintain order in them.
B. Chinese schools provide dormitories for their foreign students. In
general, two students share one room. No special accommodations are
available for married couples or for students' family members. Foreign
students must abide by the school's regulations relating to housing.
C. Foreign students who fall ill during their studies in China may
consult doctors in the school clinics, who will refer them to outside
hospitals for treatment, if necessary.
Students on Chinese government scholarships enjoy free medical care.
This, however, does not include the following: abortions, dentures, eye-
glasses and diet supplements.
Self-supporting students are responsible for all their own medical
expenses.
X. Extracurricular and Holiday Activities
A. Foreign students may take part in the activities organized by the
student associations of their schools, as well as in the athletic and
recreational activities of the Chinese students. They may join the var-
ious athletic and performing arts groups of their schools. They may
also, if they wish, take part in activities organized by the Chinese to
mark major holidays. Normal and friendly contacts between foreign
students and Chinese teachers, students and people in general are en-
couraged.
B. If foreign students wish to organize activities in their school to
celebrate their national days and major national festivals, they must
OCR for page 155
APPENDIX B 155
obtain the approval of the school authorities. They must observe the
rules and regulations of their schools in this connection.
C. Foreign students on Chinese government scholarships may join
trips organized by schools during winter and summer vacations; every
other year, the school will bear a portion of the expense for their travel
and lodging. The schools will likewise pay parts of the expense for those
scholarship students who are pursuing advanced studies for at least
one academic year but less than two.
All self-supporting students and scholarship students who are pur-
suing advanced studies for less than one academic year may join these
tours at their own expense.
XI. Academic Degrees and Certificates
A. Undergraduates and candidates for a Master's degree who pass
the examinations at the end of their studies will receive certificates
and, in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China
for Conferring Academic Degrees, the Bachelor's and Master's degrees
respectively. Candidates for a Doctorate degree who pass the final ex-
aminations and the thesis defense will be awarded Doctorate degrees.
Those who fail such examinations will receive certificates of completion
of studies.
General advanced students and senior advanced students who have
completed the required work will receive certificates of advanced study.
No degrees will be conferred upon them.
B. Students who withdraw from school before completing their pro-
grams will be issued certificates indicating the period of time during
which they have studied.
C. Foreign students should leave China within 15 days after their
graduation or conclusion of studies.
XII. Scholarships of the Government of the
People's Republic of China
A. Scholarships of the Government of the People's Republic of China
are awarded to certain foreign students by the Commission in accor-
dance with bilateral exchange agreements between the governments
concerned. The Commission provides a monthly allowance to the stu-
dent in Chinese renminbi (ynan) and also allocates to the school a sum
of money to cover his/her expenses for tuition, textbooks and class
handouts, laboratory work, field trips, medical treatment, housing
equipment, lodging and extracurricular activities. It provides an ad-
ditional allocation to the school to cover the expenses of trips organized
by the school on holidays.

B. The basic monthly allowance for living expenses of scholarship
students is as follows:
for undergraduate students: 180 ynan
for Master's degree candidates and general
advanced students: 200 ynan
for Doctorate degree candidates and senior
advanced students: 220 ynan
An additional monthly allowance of 30 ynanis provided to scholar-
ship recipients in the following fields of study: physical culture, navi-
gation' dance, theater and wind instruments. However, they will not
receive this allowance until they start those studies.
An additional monthly allowance is provided to scholarship recipi-
ents studying in certain regions of China, as follows:
in Guangdong and Fujian Provinces: 30 ynan
in Gansu, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning Provinces:
10 ynan
C. Payment of allowances to scholarship students begins on the day
of their arrival at school. Students who study for an entire academic
year receive their allowances up to July 31 (including during the winter
vacation). Those who study for more than one academic year will also
receive their allowances during the intervening winter and summer
vacations, even if they return home for a visit at that time. If a student
remains absent from school without valid reason beyond the period of
a prescribed vacation, no allowance will be issued to him/her for the
period of unauthorized absence. Those who terminate their studies and
return home before the end of the academic year will receive their
allowances up to the month in which they return home.
Scholarships are discontinued during suspension of studies, and no
retroactive payment is made after resumption of studies.
If a student withdraws from studies or is expelled from school, the
scholarship is discontinued from the first day of the month following
the withdrawal or expulsion.
XIII. Expenses Borne by Self-Supporting Students
A. Before coming to China, foreign students who are providing their
own financial support must have a financial guarantor and must make
sure that they have adequate resources to pay all expenses during the
period of their studies here. All expenses must be paid in cash, according
to the relevant provisions of the Regulations Governing Grants to Foreign
Scholarship Students and Fees for Self-Financing Foreign Students (Feb-
ruary 19851. [See Appendix C.]
OCR for page 157
APPENDIX B 157
B. For self-supporting students, school fees for tuition and housing
are calculated in U.S. dollars and are to be paid after conversion into
Foreign Exchange Certificates (FEC), according to the exchange rates
of February 1 and September 1 of the year in which payments are made.
(1) Tuition fees for one academic year are as follows:

Doctorate degree candidates: US$4,000
(2) Housing expenses are US$ 1.50 per bed per day for a double room
in the school dormitory, two students sharing one room. The cost of a
single room (available in some cases on request and with the approval

(3) The student is responsible for his/her board, medical care, text-
books and class handouts. He/she is also responsible for expenses for
additional laboratory work, field work and field trips which are not
related to the teaching program, as well as the other expenses for trans-
fer from one school to another.
C. Tuition is payable in two parts, half at the beginning of each term.
Students who fail to pay tuition at the specified time will not be allowed
to register. In special cases, students may apply to the school authorities
for permission to delay payment. However, payment may not be de-
layed beyond one month after the beginning of the term, and a penalty
will be charged for late payment in the amount of five percent of the
total tuition for one term.
Students who stay at school for more than one term but less than a
full academic year pay tuition for the entire academic year.
If, before the end of a term, a student transfers to another school for
reasons not the responsibility of the Chinese, he/she will receive no
refund of tuition, and no payments may be transferred to the new
school. The student must pay tuition to the new school.
Housing expenses are also to be paid at the beginning of each term.
However, if this creates a hardship for a student, with the approval of
the school authorities, he/she may make monthly payments instead.

Students who terminate or suspend their studies, or who withdraw
from school before the end of a term, must pay housing expenses only
for the number of days they have actually lived in the dormitory.
Regulations Concerning Short-Term Study Courses
for Foreigners (January 1983)
A. The State Education Commission of the People's Republic of China
welcomes the voluntary participation of young people and others from
countries outside China in short-term study courses in the Chinese
language or any other specialty.
B. The Commission encourages the relevant Chinese institutions of
higher education to sign bilateral agreements for the running of short-
term courses directly with the relevant foreign institutions. The Com-
mission also encourages relevant Chinese institutions to sign such
agreements with friendly, non-profit, foreign organizations that are
non-governmental. The kind of specialty, length of study and expenses
of the short-term course may be negotiated through consultation by
both parties. The agreement should be signed before December 1 of the
year prior to the starting date of the course and it becomes effective
only after approval by the competent authorities of the provinces, mu-
nicipalities and autonomous regions where the relevant Chinese insti-
tutions are located.
C. The State Education Commission of China is also willing to hold
discussions with governments of foreign countries on the matter of
sending students to China to participate in short-term study courses.
This item will be included in the bilateral exchange programs.
D. A short-term study course lasts at least four weeks and at most
one normal school term, that is, around five months. Students of the
course will receive a school badge and a temporary student's identity
card from the relevant Chinese institution, so as to indicate their status
during their stay in China. Upon completion of the course, students
will receive a certificate stating their specialty and length of study and
should return their school badges and/or identity cards to the relevant
institutions in accordance with the rules.
E. The age limit for students in a short-term study course is 16 to
45.
F. Applicants should fill in the application form issued by the rele-
vant Chinese institution of higher education which will decide on ap-
proval of the application. Those whose applications have been approved
should hold ordinary passports. They must apply for an entry visa from
the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in their own country, and not from
a Chinese Embassy or Consulate in a third country.
OCR for page 159
APPENDIX B 159
G. The sponsoring party should appoint a leader among the students
and send them to China together as a group.
H. Students in a short-term study course must observe the laws and
decrees of the Chinese government, respect the Chinese people's cus-
toms and habits and abide by the rules and regulations of the relevant
Chinese institutions of higher education.
I. Students in a short-term study course will bear their own tuition,
lodging, textbook, travel and board expenses, which should be paid
upon enrollment in accordance with the rules of the recipient institu-
tions. In general, payment should be made directly by the students to
the recipient institution. Should both sides agree, the expenses may be
paid by the sponsoring party in one sum for all the students. The State
Education Commission of China does not provide scholarships for stu-
dents of short-term courses.
J. Students in a short-term study course can participate collectively
in the trip organized by the recipient institutions in accordance with
the relevant agreement. On such a trip, they enjoy the same preferential
terms as long-term students. The recipient institutions are not respon-
sible for arranging individual trips and a student making such a trip
does not enjoy any preferential terms. No arrangements will be made
by the State Education Commission of China or the relevant institutions
for relatives and friends of students who wish to come to China to make
a visit.
K. The students should return to their own countries as soon as
possible after the conclusion of their study and organized trip. As a
general rule, the State Education Commission of China and the relevant
institutions will not transfer a student from a short-term course to a
long-term one, nor extend his or her entry visa.
