What's the difference between adult universities and ordinary universities?
The main difference between adult education and ordinary universities is that people who receive education in adult universities are adults, or people who have worked in the community and then want to study. Generally speaking, the main crowd of universities enter the school through the college entrance examination. However, the recognition of adult education in society (such as enterprises) is relatively low.

1. Enrollment: All enrollment is unified by the state and recognized by the state. However, ordinary full-time universities are strict in enrollment. Generally, they take the national examination in June and enter school in September. Adults take the national entrance examination every year 10, and enter school in March of the following year.

2. Score requirements: The enrollment scores of ordinary full-time universities are very high, and those of adults are very low.

3. Learning style: Ordinary full-time universities generally have four-year full-time teaching. Adults generally have five years, and there are two ways of learning: amateur and correspondence.

4. Cost: The tuition fee of an ordinary undergraduate course is generally 4000-6000 yuan/year. Adult 1500-3000 yuan/year.

5. Medical hukou: Generally, the hukou will be moved to the location of the university, and then moved back to the original place to enjoy medical insurance after graduation. Adults don't move their registered permanent residence and have no medical insurance.

6. Employment: Generally, there are concessions and tax reductions, and state-owned enterprises generally need ordinary ones. Recruitment is subsidized, but adults are not.

Full-time colleges and universities refer to schools that have at least reached the requirements of training junior college students and are qualified to recruit full-time junior college students. Full-time junior college and full-time undergraduate, commonly known as unified recruitment junior college and unified recruitment undergraduate. Generally speaking, schools that pass the college entrance examination, college entrance examination and full-time postgraduate examination are full-time colleges and universities. Regardless of public universities, private universities (with unified recruitment qualifications), art colleges and military academies, they are all included. Full-time college graduates issue employment registration cards for college graduates nationwide.

Extended data:

Adult education refers to a form of education different from ordinary full-time teaching. Adult education is not limited by age and sex. Through this educational process, people who are regarded as adults in society can increase their abilities, enrich their knowledge, improve their technical and professional qualifications, or turn them to a new direction, thus changing their attitudes and behaviors in two aspects: their all-round development and their participation in the balanced and independent development of social economy and culture.

There are four main forms of adult continuing education qualifications, namely, higher education self-study examination (self-taught examination), online education (distance education), adult college entrance examination (full-time, amateur, correspondence) and open university (former modern distance open education of Radio and TV University).

There are four main forms of adult continuing education in national education series, namely, adult college entrance examination, higher education self-study examination, modern distance open education of RTVU and network education (distance education). These four forms of education have their own characteristics. Except for adult higher education, the other three items do not need to take the national unified entrance examination. There are also great differences in admission, curriculum, graduation years, charging standards, degree awarding, and class methods.

Adult higher education is divided into three types: junior college, senior high school and junior college. There are three forms of study in school: full-time, part-time (including part-time and evening university) and correspondence. The shortest time for full-time study is: four years in senior high school, two years in junior college and two years in junior college (higher vocational school); The minimum study time for amateur and correspondence courses is five years from senior high school and two and a half years from junior high school and junior college (higher vocational college).

Open education (RTVU open education)

Distance open education, also known as distance open education, is a form of education relative to traditional academic education. It is a new teaching mode that combines traditional face-to-face teaching, autonomous learning of textbooks, online real-time courses and online classes. Open education is the responsibility of the Central TV University and the provincial TV University. Municipal RTVU and learning center specifically implement enrollment teaching management. Enrollment is in spring and autumn every year, because there are learning centers of RTVU all over the country, and it is also the higher education school with the largest enrollment in the country. The learning resources of open education students are open, which can be said to be learning without time and place restrictions. It has a powerful online learning platform, and each learning center also has face-to-face lectures to facilitate learning. It is the best choice for on-the-job personnel with irregular rest time to further their academic qualifications.

Adult college entrance examination (night university, correspondence)

This is our more conventional form of adult education and the biggest choice at present. There is only one exam opportunity every year, probably in the middle of 10 every year. Classes are usually held on weekdays or weekends. This kind of adult education still needs students to have a certain foundation. Compared with the other three forms, the entry threshold is slightly higher.

Amateur: Amateur teaching method generally enrolls students in colleges and universities, and arranges classes at night or weekends, which is suitable for on-the-job candidates to apply.

Domestic universities include: Central South University, Wuhan University, Zhejiang University, Sun Yat-sen University, Fudan University, etc.

Network education (distance education)

There are many online education (distance education) schools, most of which are 2 1 1 key universities. This form is mainly convenient for us to study and suitable for students who are busy with work and have no fixed time for class. As long as there is a network, distance learning can be carried out anywhere. In addition, the enrollment time is relatively loose, which is divided into spring and autumn. There are many exams, and there are entrance exams every month.

Distance education schools mainly include: Northwestern Polytechnical University, Zhengzhou University, Sichuan Agricultural University, Tianjin University, Zhejiang University, etc.

Self-study exam (self-study exam for school recruitment)

Here, I would like to explain the self-study exam (self-study exam), which is a brand-new self-study exam mode. Especially in view of the low pass rate of self-study examination in China at this stage, it is difficult to reform the new mode of self-study examination. Different from the ordinary self-study exam, the self-study exam will be taught by the school to explain the difficulties and test sites. The main points of learning will be more prominent. Ordinary self-study exam (big self-study exam) refers to social self-study, mainly self-study. Candidates take a single subject examination, pass a subject and issue a certificate of conformity. After all subjects are passed, you can apply for graduation and issue academic certificates.
