Hi there

I have an offer for Yunnan Normal (BA Chinese Language & Lit) - it starts from 3rd Sept. 07.

They are really terrible at answering emails so you better call if you have questions:
0086-871-5516251 - speak to Ms Liu Xin. I'm not sure if the deadline has passed already!

thanks for your reply clive.
they've already accepted my app, i'm just waiting to receive my visa materials from them.
do you know if September 3rd is the date classes actually start? I know there are
registration/placement tests beforehand, just need to know how far in advance. (sorry to be so
specific - trying to buy plane tickets that maximize my time before I need to be there)
thanks for the phone number too

Hi
As far as I know the registration covers the placement test...not sure though as it doesnt say -
but you must be available to register during the dates above otherwise 'you will be regarded as
giving up this admission' (from the notice of admission that they sent me).
Best call to clarify
cj

beating a dead horse...

"dates" above? your reply makes it sound like perhaps it gives a date range (such as 3rd september
through some other date, or some other date through 3rd september.) if so i just need to know what
that "some other date" is
thanks very much cj
Liz

from their website; out of date, but fall semester schedule should be similar.

the whole process will take about three days, due to disorganization and their new,
improved 4-1/2 hour lunch break.

the "placement test" only takes five minutes where they have you read samples from
the textbooks.










cliveloughlin -

sorry - i forgot to include the registration dates: between 27-31 August...that was the date range
that i meant!
didn't you get their admission notice yet?
hope it all goes smoothly










wanderliz -

thanks, that's just what i was looking for.
no worries, they've mailed my docs, just didn't mention anything about dates in the email they
sent me and i'm trying to buy my ticket now
so, guess i'll see you this fall. thanks again for your help - i owe you a beer or something

Liz

Hi Everyone,

Many of you probably know this already, but just in case...

Yunnan Normal University now has an updated calendar posted on the English version of their
website:

http://www.icis.cn/en_Article.asp?ArticleId=273

22 Aug -- 29 Aug 2007: Registration, checking visas, placement test, and paying tuition
28 Aug: Orientation
29 Aug: "Take physical check"
30 Aug -- 31 Aug: Buy textbooks and pick up timetables
3 Sep: "Class starts according to your timetable"

I know I was confused at first too though. They sent me an email on May 14th telling me they were
sending my acceptance letter and visa forms, but they never told me anything about the school
calendar until June 24th. (I am grateful that they took the time to email me back though. ).
Anyway, Ms. Liu Xin also told me that the semester ends on January 11th and that their National
Holiday goes from 1 Oct to 7 Oct 2007.

I'm getting a little worried because my JW202 and Notice of Admission haven't arrived yet. Should
I be concerned? Maybe if it doesn't arrive within the next week or so I'll write them another
email or actually call.

I'm excited to start this new school year (if my paperwork comes in time that is. Hehe). I've
never been to China before so this will definitely be an adventure. Maybe I will meet some of you
there sometime.
