ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
General Academic Information

2. Email Account Your e-mail account is used for receiving important notices from the school and communication between instructors and students.

The password will be noticed by International Officer, it is strongly recommended that students change the password once using it. Please keep a record of your new password.
E-mail will be a primary means for the school to communicate with students, so students are required to check their email account regularly. It is necessary for the school to contact students with important information and sometimes at short notice. Where possible the school will attempt to e-mail students, so students must ensure that they check their e-mail regularly (i.e. once every 24 hours on weekdays). E-mail accounts can fill up fast, so it is very important that students keep space for correspondence. It is possible for students to miss out on important information as a result of a full account or simply not checking their e-mails. The school will not hold responsibility for the consequences of any information deficit providing that the school has taken steps to contact the students.
Sometimes, officers will send emails, or call, when they have some urgent notices for students. It is a student’s personal responsibility to keep officers informed of any changes to contact details and methods.
3. Academic Calendar The school will produce an academic calendar for the following semester during summer/winter holiday. Students ought to follow the academic calendar to arrange their study and vacation.
4. Academic Semester Students should notice that ‘week’ is used as a unit in academic schedules. Normally, there are 18 teaching weeks for each semester except the beginning semester which is affected by freshmen induction. Week 1 to Week 17 is normal teaching weeks; Week 18 is for non-paper final examination. Week 19 and Week 20 are final paper exams weeks. The academic semester ends with a completion of final examinations. For cohort 2020 undergraduate and postgraduate students, the normal teaching week will start in Week 3.
5. Summer/Winter Vacation Normally summer/winter vacation starts in the end of Week 20 and lasts for six weeks. Students could refer to the general calendar to schedule holiday arrangements. However, students are suggested not to book any return tickets unless students receive confirmed information about next semester’s beginning date.
6. Freshman Academic Induction Freshmen academic induction is part of ‘freshmen induction week’ which is arranged in September. It is mandatory for all new students to attend the events. During the induction, students will get to know important information on Academic Regulations. After the induction, students will start classes from Week 3.
7. Elective Module Selection Students should choose elective modules before each new semester starts. The Academic Affairs Officer will collect students’ preliminary elective courses choices during summer/winter holiday. After submitting the form, students will have a chance to change their elective courses choices in the first two weeks of each semester, but they should submit the form in time first. Postgraduate Students in their first semester in the first year should submit the form and confirm their elective courses choices by Friday in Week 3. Undergraduate Students can choose general elective courses from the second semester of their first year, and can choose major elective courses from their second year. Students cannot choose more elective modules once the registration period is closed but can drop elective courses before week 6. Any more choices made after elective module registration deadline might automatically incur the failure of such modules. Students should follow the regulation for selecting elective modules.
Elective Course Selection Principles (1) School will operate elastically academic years for both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The curriculum plan of undergraduate program is divided into 4 years while the curriculum plan of postgraduate program is 2.5 years. If students can pass all the examinations of the compulsory courses on the curriculum plan in the given academic years and meet the requirement for elective courses credits, students can graduate from university. (2) Students should be familiar with the curriculum plan of their grade and their major, and should know the following information. ① The total credits, compulsory course and elective course credits. ② The differences between major elective and general elective courses. ③ Credits that students have already achieved and credits that students need to achieve. ④ The starting time of each course in the curriculum plan. (3) Students should pay more attention to the information of course description, teaching language, the arrangement of the course, and the limitation of the course selection if some courses have this. (4) Students can select courses according to the curriculum plan, the course arrangement of each semester, and students’ self-learning abilities. (5) Students should select courses during the required time. The information of courses that are selected by students will be put into students’ transcript each semester, and the result will be in the transcript after final examination. For students who drop elective courses, and who have bad class attendance according to attendance records provided by course instructors and get the forbidden of final examination notice will be marked zero of these courses in the transcript. The result of the courses which are not selected by students cannot be put into the transcripts. (6) Students who fail the elective courses can select other elective courses next semester. Students can go to academic affairs office to cancel and erase records of the failed elective courses once noticed by Academic Affairs Office. However, students should pay for the deletion of each failed course, and it will cost 70CNY/credit at current rate. The price may change according to the university standard. (7) For both undergraduate and postgraduate students, choosing any elective courses in their final semester will result in delayed graduation since elective courses won’t be finished before their Graduation Qualification Examination in the middle of their final semester. Therefore, it’s better for them to choose their elective courses and to meet the credit requirements for elective courses for graduation before their final semester.
Elective Course Selection Discipline (1) All students must select elective courses according to the required time and process of this regulation. Students should be responsible for themselves if they don’t select the course according to the required time and don’t follow the rule of “Elective Course Selection Regulation”. (2) Students cannot attend the final examination of the elective course that is not selected by students. (3) Students should treat the elective course selection seriously; if students select a course that they don’t wish to attend, this will affect other students’ selection. Students who don’t withdraw elective courses during the allotted withdrawal time must attend the course on time. (4) Except in the case of retake courses, students cannot select the same elective course twice. (5) Every semester, Academic Affairs Office will inform students of the elective course selection by email, so students should check their email regularly (almost every day) in case they miss the deadline of the course selection. The office will not be responsible for any students who miss the timings of the elective course selection. (6) Academic Affairs Office reserves all rights for final explanation of the above regulations.
8. Delay and Cancellation of a Lecture There are time restrictions on any instructor who is late for a lecture: students may leave after 15 minutes of class time has elapsed OR after receiving any further notice by the Academic Affairs Officer.
