In recent years, in order to ensure the smooth enrollment of students from poor families, the Ministry of Education has stipulated that all public colleges and universities must establish a "green channel" [1] system, that is, all freshmen with financial difficulties should go through the enrollment procedures first, and then be given financial assistance in different ways according to the verified situation.

For freshmen with financial difficulties, a green channel will be opened. When new students register for school, if they are unable to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees due to financial difficulties after examination, they will be approved to suspend the payment of tuition and miscellaneous fees and enter the school first, and then the school will help these students solve their financial difficulties by applying for national student loans and work-study programs.

"Green Passage" is the most direct and effective measure to ensure the smooth enrollment of freshmen from poor families in colleges and universities.

Step 2: The school institution conducts the loan preliminary examination.

School institutions organize students to apply for loans and accept student loan applications within the annual loan amount and control ratio issued by the National Student Loan Management Center [5].

School institutions shall examine the qualifications of the national student loan application materials submitted by students, and be responsible for their completeness, authenticity and legality. The preliminary examination will be completed within 20 working days after receiving the application for student loan. After the completion of this work, the school organized a five-day publicity and corrected the problematic application. After the initial examination of the school institution is correct, the loan application form stamped with the official seal will be confirmed within 10 working days, and the students will be informed of the audit results, and the information form for student audit of national student loans (hereinafter referred to as the information form) and the application materials will be sent to the handling bank of China Bank together with the application materials (hereinafter referred to as the handling bank).

Step 3: The handling bank approves the loan.

The handling bank shall complete the audit within 20 working days after receiving the information form and application materials submitted by the school. If there are any mistakes or omissions, the school will be required to correct or supplement them. The handling bank shall complete the review within 15 working days after receiving the true and complete application materials submitted by the school. Within 5 working days after the end of all examinations, the handling bank will compile a unified roster of qualified students and send it to the school together with the blank loan contract and the iou.

Step 4: Sign a loan contract with the students.

After the loan application is approved, the school will organize students to fill in, sign loan contracts and IOUs within 10 working days according to the loan student roster provided by the handling bank, and submit them to the handling bank.

The handling bank shall complete the signing work within 15 working days after receiving the loan contract and iou submitted by the school, and deliver the signed loan contract to the school institution within 5 working days. The school institution will return the loan contract and IOU to the borrower for safekeeping within 5 days after receiving it.

The handling bank handles a debit card or current passbook for each borrower, and submits the loan student list and debit card number details to the school so that the school can transfer the living expenses to the account on a monthly basis.

Step 6: Repay the loan.

Borrowing students should pay attention to their own credit and repay on time after completing their studies with student loans. 60 days before graduation every year, the school will organize the borrowing students to go to the handling bank to go through the repayment confirmation procedures, and the handling bank will send people to provide on-site service to explain the repayment related matters to the borrowing students and answer their inquiries.

Borrowing students should repay the loan principal and interest on a monthly basis after graduation, but they can choose to repay the loan principal from any month within 24 months after graduation or repay the loan principal in advance.

Borrowing students should authorize the handling bank in the loan contract to automatically deduct the repayable principal and interest from their personal accounts opened in the bank on the agreed repayment date until all the loan principal and interest are paid off.

Reporter: What will happen to the related loan business if the borrowing students drop out of school, drop out of school, transfer to another school, go abroad or be expelled from school?

Bank of China: In case of suspension, withdrawal, transfer, going abroad, expulsion from school, etc. The school will inform the bank in time, asking students to go to the bank to pay off the loan first, and then go through the relevant procedures for the borrowing students. After receiving the notice from the school, the handling bank will stop issuing loans that have not yet been issued, and take measures such as recovering the principal and interest of loans in advance to handle relevant procedures for students.

In addition, borrowing students who continue to pursue their degrees after graduation can apply for loan extension. Borrowing students should apply to the original school for extension 30 days before graduation, and provide relevant certificates to continue their degree study. After the approval of the original school, the handling bank will handle the extension formalities for it.

After graduation 1 year, the borrower may apply to the handling bank for adjusting the repayment plan, including adjusting the repayment method, and the handling bank will accept it and make reasonable adjustments according to the actual situation and relevant regulations.

Borrowing students studying abroad after graduation should take the initiative to inform the original handling bank to pay off the loan in one lump sum.

The handling bank will establish a loan repayment monitoring system for borrowing students, and announce the names, ID numbers, graduation schools, default behaviors and other information of borrowing students who have been in arrears for more than one year and have not actively contacted the handling bank.
