Notes 

(the Regulations Prevails in terms of different understanding)

Please note that any type of ignition is prohibited within the residence hall area (including the roof and the staircases). All dormitories are non-smoking facilities and they are not designed for catering families. 

Room telephones are not provided. Please bring your own mobile phone.

Campus WIFI is everywhere except student dormitories. Please purchase your own Internet access. 

All rooms are carpet-free for pest control purposes. The climate here is humid and suitable for pests to make themselves at home in a wool-rich carpet! 

First-year Guarantee: Living on-campus is compulsory for all upcoming first-year students.

Student who don't meet the graduation requirement in the end of program are not considered for on-campus housing placement. 

Single Room Priority: CSC Administration Manual requires all CSC-funded students be placed in double room, currently CPU provides CSC-funded Ph.D. candidate enrolled before Oct.15, 2019 single room free of charge. Other Ph.D. candidates are placed in double rooms by default. 

*If Ph.D. candidates have spouse and children, they need to consider off-campus housing and make own arrangements starting from the second year. 

Roommate Matching

Either students of the same gender or married couples (when both are students) will be arranged in one double room. You may register together with an ideal roommate on the day of university registration, otherwise the roommates are randomly appointed. The School will make every effort to accommodate your preferences, but we reserve the right to assign all residence space according to availability, suitability, fairness and need.

Confirmation of Offer

Each resident will receive an offer letter from the School of International Education for a specific room in a specific building. Submitting the letter to the Housing Administrator and taking the key/card/password is seemed as accepting the offer. 

Withdrawal

Any student who withdraws or take suspension from the University is no longer eligible to live on-campus. All residence privileges will terminate within the time limit (10 days according to the rules) upon confirmed student status termination/suspension. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the School in writing of their checking-out in advance. If checking-out isn't confirmed, the room will continue to bill.   

Swapping Room 

Residents are not allowed to swap the rooms assigned without approval from the University. 

Room change is conditionally permitted within the first week of each Academic Year, with all related students signing on the same paper. The final decision is made by the School. 

Room change is 100% permitted when the room has quality problems (serious leakage, AC cannot be fixed, etc.) with Housing Administrator's confirmation, or when the building is scheduled to be revoked by the University for other use, and roommates stay unchanged.  

or:

the student's coursework/labwork (>80% of the total hours) moves to the other campus, with supervisor/advisor's confirmation. 

Swapping rooms are not permitted for reasons including: need of privacy, different eating and sleeping habits, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, bodily odor, or convenient access to kitchen.

Room optimization according to the On-campus Housing Agreement, happens when a student is the only occupant of a double room due to dropping-out of the previous roommate. Student will be informed in written in advance, given 1-2 weeks to find a potential roommate, and afterwards if no decision is made, student shall accept the School's arrangement, according to the room contract he/she signed. 

Room Checks

For routine fire check, pest control, wall painting or scheduled maintenance, notices will be given to public in advance by the university office concerned. Work will be done without student's presence.

For emergency checks, work will be done without any notice (such as to put up fire, to stop suicidal attempts, to demand visitor to leave).

For all room checks, there shall be two or more property management staffs enter a room each time.

Laundry and Kitchen

Laundry and kitchen are provided by the third party. The fees are paid or recharged by third party APPs. Please use them with care and do not leave your personal belongings in the laundry and kitchen overnight.
