Registration and Orientation

Registration

International students are required to go to the university's central International Students Office (ISO) for formal registration at the start of the new semester.

At the ISO, you need to:

Fill in contact sheet;

File application for residence permit (for year-based students only);

And buy insurance: mandatory; CNY 600/800 a year--different in insurance coverage.

Office address: Room 108, International Cultural Exchange Center.
Phone number: 86 10 82509310

Notes:

Registration venue is indicated on your admission notice.

International students who will stay at Renmin University of China for one year are all required to take a physical exam at a designated clinic in Haidian District. The ISO will arrange one or two group trips to the clinic by shuttle bus. If you need to, you can sign up for a trip to the clinic at registration.

A Chinese phone number is required for registration at ISO. China’s top three telecommunication operators are:

China Mobile Communications Group

China Unicom

China Telecom

You can get a SIM card (and thus a Chinese phone number) from sales reps of the three operators at ISO on the registration day or any of the operators’ service outlets nearby on other days.
