Pay the tuition fee, obtain an updated invoice, and complete the registration procedures.

Receive the admission notice and JW202/201 form (yellow page). It usually takes approximately three weeks to obtain these new admission documents.

Accommodation Registration:
For on-campus students, provide the Student ID and copies of the passport pages with the main information, visa, and entry stamp after checking in at the dormitories. For off-campus students, provide an introduction letter issued by the school, along with the passport, lease contract, ID of the house owner, and house ownership paper.

Therefore, before departing, students should complete the necessary forms to modify their F visas. Additionally, it is advisable not to enter China too early to prevent the student visa from expiring before the semester begins.
