Dear new students,

First of all, thank you for choosing CUPL and welcome to become a member of the CUPL community. You may have already known that China is experiencing a severe outbreak of pneumonia caused by 2019-nCoV. Currently, Beijing has initiated the First-level public health emergency response. Now it is the top priority to contain the outbreak and prevent the spread of the epidemic.

According to the unified arrangements by China’s Ministry of Education and Beijing municipal government, every university has established and strengthened policies to prevent the possibility of the virus spreading on campus.

For the safety and health of all students, we have to inform you with regret that we will:

1. Postpone the starting date of the 2020 spring semester.

The registration date in the Admission Notice issued by CUPL is  invalid now. The new resumption date will be announced later according to the progress of epidemic prevention and control.

The notification will be sent to the email address you provided when applying to CUPL or your Wechat. Please follow our latest updates.

And further announcements will also be posted on our official website and official WeChat account as follows.

2. Do NOT arrive in China in advance

For the health and safety of yourselves and others, please DO NOT arrive in China until further notice. For those who arrive at school before further notice, we are sorry but CUPL is not able to process issues such as registration, the extension of visa, etc. And we cannot provide on-campus accommodation either.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience brought to you by this sudden and unpredictable epidemic. However, the safety and health of each student are always our primary concern. We appreciate your kind understanding, support, and cooperation.
