In light of the current epidemic situation, according to the requirements of upper authorities, the present arrangements for students entering and exiting the campus and leaving and returning to the university for the Winter vacation are as follows.

Students who reside outside the campus are not permitted to enter the campus unless necessary. Those who are allowed to enter the campus after approval must provide their Beijing Health Kit green health code or nucleic acid test negative certificate obtained within 7 days before they can enter the campus. To enter or leave the campus, students are required to submit an application in advance on the "Application for Exit and Entry of the Campus for Students" (学生进出校审批) system via the "online service system" (在线服务系统). This approval system is expected to re-open on December 27. Campus entry and exit management for students living in the Shuangqing Apartment (双清公寓) will be arranged separately.

The "students leaving Beijing" (学生离京审批)application system on the online service system will be updated to the "students leaving the campus and Beijing" (学生离校离京审批) application system.

In principle, students in epidemic low-risk areas should return to campus according to the university schedule to complete required tasks such as registration for the new semester.
