I have some friends around me who want to improve their academic qualifications after starting their own companies, and will help them to inquire about the relevant registration agencies and correspondence stations, so I know something about this. When preparing for the adult college entrance examination, I can't tell the difference between the correspondence station and the registration institution. In fact, there are still differences between the two, with different definitions and different contact channels. Let's take a look at it through the sharing below ~

1. What is the difference between a correspondence station and a public institution?

1, different definitions

(1) Correspondence station: also known as teaching point, refers to the services and teaching points set up by colleges and universities with the right to hold adult education. The areas where schools are not resident are mostly prefecture-level cities or individual cities and counties. Correspondence stations are directly under the management of colleges and universities, and provide class services for colleges and universities after enrollment. Correspondence stations are large in scale.

② Institution: refers to education and training institutions, which are mainly run by social forces or individuals. Institutions are large and small, and cooperate with correspondence stations, small institutions or large institutions. Institutions are managed by correspondence stations or large institutions, which are intermediary in nature.

2、? Ownership management is different.

Correspondence stations are authorized by universities and have the qualification certificates issued by the Education Bureau, which are directly managed by the Education Bureau and universities.

This institution has no qualification for running a school, only a business license, which belongs to the management of the Market Supervision Administration/Administration for Industry and Commerce.

3. Different docking channels

Both of them have the function of assisting the enrollment of colleges and universities: but the correspondence station directly connects with colleges and universities, serves students with class notices, arranges mid-term and final exams, sends and receives materials, and graduates. The order from the notice sent by the school to the notice received by the students is: universities-correspondence stations-students.

Colleges and universities are the arrangement of docking correspondence stations, and the order from the notice issued by the school to the notice received by the students is: university-correspondence station-colleges and universities-students.

Step 4 compare

① Reliability

No matter through regular colleges or correspondence stations, the diplomas obtained are all issued by colleges and universities, which can be found in Xuexin.com and recognized by the Education Bureau and the state. However, in the face of some economic and policy changes, correspondence stations directly managed by colleges and universities are more resistant to pressure, and students directly managed and served by correspondence stations are more secure. However, institutions, especially small ones, are faced with these changes, and their ability to withstand pressure is very small, and the risk of bankruptcy is relatively high. Students served by institutions may face information loss and cannot graduate.

② Transparency of expenses.

The main profit of the correspondence station is the service fee from colleges and universities, which collects students' tuition fees on behalf of colleges and universities. Tuition fees are paid once a year, and students can also choose not to pay tuition fees at correspondence stations and pay their own tuition fees at colleges and universities. Every university in official website will publish its tuition fees, and the correspondence station is as transparent as the university fees.

Second, summary

If you haven't got the adult college entrance examination diploma, you'd better go to a regular correspondence station to sign up for the exam. Correspondence stations have special teachers to help you enter the exam, and they are all directly connected with good schools. Running a school is more formal. Generally, you can go to official website University for authorization information. Because of its intermediary nature, institutions will inevitably earn extra intermediary fees, and some institutions that mainly enroll students and make profits will also ask for full tuition fees at one time. In this case, we must be vigilant, carefully verify each other's qualifications, and beware of each other's money running away.
