2. Self-funded international students shall pay their tuition, accommodation fees and other payable fees at the time of registration at the beginning of a semester or academic year, or else they will not be able to go through the registration formalities. Tuition fees of degree students shall be paid by academic year, i.e. once for the whole academic year, and those of non-degree students of Chinese language and culture are paid by semester, i.e. once for the whole semester.

In case that a self-funded international student are unable to continue his/her studies for special reasons such as illness or poor financial situation of his/her family after paying tuition fees, the university will refund the fees after deducting the used part by month (counting from the beginning date of a semester and including the current month). No tuition fees will be refunded to those who drop out for the following causes:

a. Those whose total hours of truancy within a semester exceed a half of total class hours of the semester;

Non-degree students of Chinese language and culture who plan to continue studying for another semester must make an application one week before the end of the current semester and pay tuition fees for the coming semester before their residence permit or visa can be extended. Those who decide not to continue studying in the coming semester after obtaining the residence extension permits for continuing studies must have the extension permits cancelled. The tuition fees they have paid to the university for the coming semester will be refunded to them with the percentage for one month deducted. Students who do not ask for extending their stay for another semester will be automatically treated as those who have completed their studies.
