Accommodations and Housing Facilities

.....There are dorms of international students at the Nanshan campus as well as in the Xiangshan campus. Accommodations fees are to be paid in full once every semester. Refunds will not be issued for any reason other than withdrawing from the programs. Refunds can be made up to 70% of the remaining rent for students withdrawn from the programs. In principle, all non-resident students are required to stay in the overseas student housing suites in their first year of study. Thereafter, students can apply to the International College to stay in any accommodations outside the Academy approved by the Public Security Bureau.

Medical Insurance and Safety

All non-resident students should purchase health and accident insurance that covers the China area from their home country/area.

The Academy campus and the overseas student housing area have security guards and security monitoring systems working 24/7 to guarantee the safety of all non-resident students. Yet due to the differences in social systems and traffic patterns, overseas students should exercise extreme caution to prevent accidents.
