An independent college should have independent legal personality, independent campus buildings, independent teaching and property management, enrollment and graduation certificates. Since independent colleges belong to undergraduate level, the Ministry of Education is responsible for examination and approval. Without the approval of the Ministry of Education, the state does not recognize their academic qualifications.

Independent colleges, like other colleges and universities, are recognized by the state as colleges and universities with higher academic qualifications. The difference is that the admission work is generally arranged in the second or third batch of undergraduate courses, and the tuition standard is generally slightly higher than other ordinary colleges and universities.
