Kindly Reminder: Most Chinese Universities Postponed the Registration Period of the Spring Semester 2020

To all new international students,

At present, the Chinese government are actively taking actions to prevent and control the novel coronavirus. We firmly believe that the situation will soon improve.

Schools have been asked to pick different time slots to start the spring semester to make sure there will not be a concentrated mass movement of students when the new semester begins, said by the Ministry of Education.  In order to protect the health and safety of teachers and students, several provinces and municipalities, including Shanghai, Chongqing, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, have announced that the new semester would not start by the end of  February and the exact date will be notified later. 

Once the new registration time is decided, your personal SICAS advisor will get you informed in a timely manner. By then, it will be safe for you to come to China.  Please also note that no early registration is accepted. 

For students who already  admitted   into Spring intake, we suggest you  make full preparations for coming to China during this period.  If you haven’t booked airline tickets, we kindly remind you not to book it now.  If you have already booked the tickets, please keep the ticket now and wait for our update to decide whether to change the flight.
