Tuition fees are charged by academic year or semester, and may not be charged in advance.
Tuition refund policy
If students drop out of school or finish their studies ahead of schedule, colleges and universities will refund the remaining tuition fees on a monthly basis according to their actual study time.
Localization management principle
The management of tuition standard is based on the principle of localization. If there are clear provisions in the current national university charging policy, it shall be implemented according to the provisions; If there is no clear stipulation, the provincial education administrative department shall put forward opinions based on the actual cost, local economic development level and residents' economic affordability, report to the price and financial departments at the same level for review, and implement them after approval by the provincial people's government.
