The whole registration process is a lengthy process! But, this part, you can accomplish in just one day.
So after knowing the buildings, the first step is to get a
dorm. If you are staying outside the University you may skip this and just go
to the next step. Caveat, be sure to have your “official proof of lodging
(housing certificate) either by the authority of the hotel/guest house you live
in or by the local police station if you live in a private-owned house/
apartment.” (Registration for
self-supporting, BLCU website)
Getting a dorm
1. Go to Student Housing
Services Center located between Dorm Building 1 and 2.
2. Present your Admission Letter and JW201/202
If
you’re a scholarship student, you have a pre-assigned dorm; Dorm9 for girls and
Dorm1 for boys.*
3. If you have preferred dorm, you have to inform the
staffs. The staffs will check which dorms can accommodate you. You need to
settle the full amount of your stay. If
you have booked a dorm in advance, you can go directly to the dorm.
4. You will be instructed as to which dorm to go and once
you are in the dormitory, you will be asked for passport. The dorm staff will
issue a Temporary Residence Permit once all documentation and payments are
completed. Make a copy of the Temporary
Residence Permit!
Your College’s Office, Tuition Payment, and Insurance
There are different colleges in BLCU but almost all offices
are located in ground floor of Main Building. You really have the option to go
here first or to get dorm first. What will you do here?
- You again need your admission documents and
passports. Give your documents to the personnel there and they will give you
forms to fill up and a checklist of what documents you need. They will also give
you a free M-zone SIM card and student handbook.
- Why do you need to get a dorm first? The Dorm
will give you your Temporary Residence Permit. It is one of the items in the required
documents list. So if you have the Temporary Residence Permit from your dorm,
you do not need to go to the dorm and back to the office.
- They will issue you tuition fee voucher and you
need to pay your tuition. To quote from the BLCU website,
You need to go to ICBC (Room 120, Office Buildin, the building with white highlight in
the campus map) or
finance office (Room 108, Office Building) to pay the tuition and buy medical
insurance on the second floor of Run Run Shaw Teaching Building (the building with green highlight
in the campus map). Below are
means of payment:
If you pay in cash, or traveler’s check, pay at the ICBC (Industry and
Commercial Bank of China, Room 120, Office Building) and then exchange for the
invoice in the Finance Office (Room 108, Office Building).
If you pay by international VISA Card, Master Card, American Express Card
(the bank will charge 3% commission, if your card is not applied in China), you
may pay directly in the Finance Office (Room 108, Office Building).
-
If you’re a self-supporting student, you need to
make sure you have all of these:
o
Admission Notice
o
JW202
o
Receipt of tuition from bank or Finance Office
o
Insurance receipt/card
o
Passport
o
Copy of Passport
o
Copy of your Visa
o
Copy of Registration Form of Temporary Residence
o
At least 5pieces 3.5cmx4.5cm ID picture in white
or blue background
o
Accomplished registration form for international
students
-
If you’re a scholarship student, you need these:
o
Admission Notice
o
CSC scholarship notice
o
JW201
o
Passport
o
Copy of Passport
o
Copy of your Visa
o
Copy of Registration Form of Temporary Residence
o
At least 5pieces 3.5cmx4.5cm ID picture in white
or blue background
o
Accomplished registration form for international
students
Submit these documents to the College Office and they will
issue you a schedule of activities that you need to accomplish before you are issued
your Student Card. For scholarship students, you will be given a slip of paper
which needs to be signed by the officer in the Room2, 2nd Floor of
Run Run Shaw Building. Once this paper is signed by the officer, you can now go
to the Accounting and Finance Office (Rm107 of white highlight in the map) to
collect your one-time settlement assistance and monthly allowance.
If your papers were signed after the 15th of the
month, you will only receive half of the monthly allowance. Otherwise, you will
receive the whole monthly allowance.
*Side Bar
My male classmates were placed in Dorm 4. They were graduate
school (Master program) scholarship students who needed one-year language
training before entering graduate school proper). According to them, they didn’t
pay any additional fees to get in Dorm4. They were just assigned to Dorm4 .
Thus, my theory is graduate school scholarship students gets in Dorm4 and
language training scholarship students goes to either Dorm1 or Dorm9.
