To apply for enrollment in future, students who defer enrollment must apply by 5:00pm (Beijing time) at April 30th, before the expiration of their enrollment eligibility, and the university will review the student qualification accordingly. Once the process is completed, the student may enroll for the Fall semester with other incoming students.

Students who fail to apply for deferral or to complete their enrollment within the designated timeframe set by the university will be deemed to have renounced their enrollment eligibility. Students who defer their enrollment but fail to follow admission protocols by the university deadlines for enrollment for reasons other than those beyond their control, will be treated as having renounced their enrollment eligibility.
