Program Fee

Program budget/fee is based on US$ = RMB 7.39 Yuan, which is subject to change. The estimated cost includes 3 weeks lectures and 1 week tour in China. The Program might have to adjust fees due to possible changes in Chinese-U.S. foreign currency exchange rate. The students pay the PKU program fee and the travel fee separately from the CEL registration fee. Please read the explanations below.

DEADLINE: FEBRURARY 30, 2008
Considering possible impact of Chinese currency appreciation against USD  and Beijing Olympics in August on airfare and hotel, we must begin the travel arrangements as early as possible. Feb 30, 2008 would be the last day for receiving registration and program fees in order to have you enrolled into this program. However, we may consider the late registration after the due date if we are able to make the travel arrangements at the same estimated program cost. That is to say, we may continue to enroll students until we are unable to make the arrangements at the estimated program cost or no more space for enrollment.

PASSPORT AND VISA: Students must hold valid passports with at least 6 months validity and apply for Chinese visa at least 2 weeks in advance -- a tourist visa (L) or business visa (“F”) for students studying for a short term or less that 6 months. The tourist visa does not require an invitation letter from the host university, while the business visa does. It would be more convenient to apply for a tourist visa (L) for such a short term study in China.
