According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the notice of the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance on further standardizing the management of college education fees is as follows:
Accommodation fee, if colleges and universities provide accommodation for students who receive all kinds of education in their own schools, they will charge accommodation fees to students. Accommodation fees are charged by academic year or semester, and may not be collected in advance across academic years. If students drop out of school or finish their studies ahead of schedule, colleges and universities should refund the remaining accommodation fees on a monthly basis according to their actual accommodation time.
Accommodation standards are managed according to the principle of localization. The existing provisions of the state shall prevail; If there are no provisions, the education administrative department at the provincial level shall put forward opinions by comprehensively considering the actual cost, accommodation conditions and local economic development level, and report them to the price and financial departments at the same level for review in accordance with the principle of cost compensation and non-profit, and implement them after approval by the provincial people's government.
