College of International Students,

Southeast University (revised version for the new normal)

东南大学海外教育学院汉语学习手册

1.In order to place new students into an appropriate level of Chinese language course, placement tests are organized at the beginning of the autumn semester, in late August or early September. New students who have already received basic Chinese language instruction are required to take a placement test arranged by CIS’s Chinese Center, after which students will be placed into an appropriate Chinese language class.

每学年的第一学期（秋学期）将在八月下旬或九月上旬开始，有汉语基础的学生将被要求参加分班考试，以便进入相应的班级学习汉语。

2.Attendance is required for all courses: (a) Any student who misses 25% of the total credit hours required of a course without the Chinese Center’s permission will not be allowed to take the final examination or any make-up examination; (b) Three instances of coming late to class or leaving class early will be recorded as one absence in attendance; (c) Any student missing 25% attendance of the 1^st half of the semester will not be allowed to take the mid-term examination, and only after promising in written form to achieve 90% attendance for the 2^ndhalf of the semester and successfully doing it, will that student be allowed to take the final examination and make up the mid-term examination; (d)Students with severe medical problems are expected to miss no more than one third of the total credit hours; (e) Students who ask for leave of absence for one or more days should get an application form from the International Students Office, receive a signature of approval from the course teacher and Chinese Center, and finally submit the application to the International Students Office; (f) In normal circumstances, students should not ask for a leave of absence for exceeding two weeks. During online teaching, students who ask for leave can go through the procedures by email and submit electronic forms to the relevant administration of CIS (forms can be asked from Office of International Students).

任何课程不得无故缺席。如旷课达到总学时的1/4，该生即失去考试资格，且不得补考，该课程成绩为0分。迟到或早退3次算旷课1次。期中考试前旷课达1/4，不得参加期中考试，该生须向汉语中心提交书面保证，并确保下半学期的出勤率在90%以上，方可参加期末考试及期中考试的补考。病假不得超过总学时的1/3。请假一天及以上的须填写请假申请表（表格由留学生办公室提供），经任课教师及汉语中心签字同意后，交留学生办公室备案。通常情况下，请假时间不得超过两周。线上授课阶段，留学生可以通过邮件向相关部门（海外教育学院、自己的院系）请假，并且向留学生办公室提交电子请假表格（表格由留学生办公室提供）。

3. Aside from winter and summer vacation, courses will also not be held on the following holidays: Tomb Sweeping Festival, Labor Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-autumn Festival and the National Holiday Week. However, because these holidays sometimes fall mid-week resulting in the cancellation of class on a normal working day, students may need to attend make-up lessons as arranged by the university.

除寒暑假外，国家法定节日如清明节、劳动节、端午节、中秋节、国庆节（十一长假），统一停课休假。节假日前后根据校历安排补课。

4. Students who cannot not take the mid-term or final examination because of an illness, working commitment, or other overwhelming reason should fill out an application for a make-up examination, provide evidence (from a hospital or workplace), get a signature from the course teacher, and finally send these documents to the Chinese Center. Only students whose applications are approved by the Chinese Center will be eligible for make-up tests. Make-up tests will only be arranged in the first two weeks of the following semester, and the Chinese Center does not allow make-up tests for an individual student.

因特殊原因不能参加期中或期末考试，如生病、公务或其他不可抗力，须提交书面申请，并提供医院或相关机构开具的证明，经任课教师签字同意，交汉语中心备案。汉语中心有权决定该生是否具有补考资格。补考一般在新学期的前两周统一进行。汉语中心不单独为个别学生安排补考。

5. Assessment is made according to a student’s grades and the scores of the midterm exam and the final exam. Final Grades are the calculated sum of course grades, the mid-term exam and the final exam. The overall assessment is divided into the following parts: 70% from course grades, 15% from the mid-term exam and 15% from the final exam. Course grades include class attendance (20%), performance (20%), assignments (20%) and unit testing (10%). An unauthorized absence from one class will often result in the deduction of one point. Students who missed the registration deadline for their courses or missed the midterm examination will be given a final assessment according to the course grade and the score of the final exam, each accounting for 50% of the total grade. For courses where an essay is written in lieu of an examination, final assessment will be calculated according to the course grade (70%) and the grade of the essay (30%).Every student has to submit all assignments in time, and cannot submit make-up assignments just before the examinations or else they are not allowed to take mid-term or final examinations.

考核主要包括平时成绩、期中测验和期末考试三大项。总评成绩=平时成绩（出勤情况、上课表现、平时作业、单元测试）×70%+期中考试×15%+期末考试×15%。旷课1节课，则平时成绩扣1分。因报到晚、错过期中考试的学生总评成绩按平时成绩×50%+期末考试×50%。以提交论文为考核方式的课程，总评成绩按平时成绩×70%+论文×30%。任何学生平时必须按时提交作业，不能在考试前一次性补交作业，否则将失去考试资格。

6. Students who fail the assessment may be given a make-up test, but may not receive a score exceeding 60 upon passing (the full score is 100). Student who fails the make-up test must pay 3000 yuan for one semester to re-take all the Chinese courses and examinations before being allowed to continue on to the academic major programs. Students studying major programs who fail a Chinese course have to pay 150 yuan for one credit hour to retake the Chinese course.

考核不通过的学生有一次补考机会，补考成绩最高为60分（满分为100分）。补考不及格的学生须付费重修。汉语生重修费用为每学期3000元人民币。进入专业的学历生按照每学分150元人民币收取。

7.Students who already have good knowledge regarding a certain course may be exempt from attendance only after applying and receiving written permission from the course teacher and the Chinese Center. After exemption is approved by the Chinese Center, students still must take the final examination in order to get a final score for the course.

已达到课程培养目标的学生，可填写免修申请，经任课教师签字同意后，提交汉语中心。如获批准，该课程可以免修，但必须参加期末考试，以获得相应的成绩。

8.Under all circumstances, students should not ask the teacher to raise their scores. If any student cheated during the examination of a course, he would not be allowed to take a make-up examination. Instead, he has to pay to retake the course.

无论何种情况，学生均不得要求教师提高分数。任何学生不得作弊，否则没有补考机会，必须付费重修。

9.Students (including undergraduates, graduates) can enter their major programs after one year Chinese learning only when:

They have passed the Chinese language final examinations organized by the Chinese Center;

They have passed HSK Level 4 (consult different colleges for the language requirement; some colleges require HSK Level 5 or higher).

Eligibility for entering major programs is reviewed by CIS’s Academic Affairs Office. A student who is not eligible to enter the major program after the review should pay the extra fee (see 6) to study Chinese language for another year.

所有学习汉语的学历生（含本科生、硕士研究生、博士研究生）在进入专业学习前须达到以下要求：

通过汉语中心组织的汉语结业考试；

通过汉语水平考试（HSK）的四级测试（个别院系须参照相应的入学标准）。

每学年结束时由教务办公室负责资格审查，未到达要求的学生不得进入专业学习，须付费重修汉语。

10.All notices will be posted on our bulletin board on the CIS building’s 3^rd and 4^th floor and near the dorm offices. Students are also advised to periodically visit CIS’s website at http://cis.seu.edu.cnfor other news. Besides, during online teaching, the teachers of all courses will notify students by email or we-chat.

所有通知、公告将张贴在海外教育学院三楼、四楼办公区及宿舍布告栏，并且公布在海外教育学院的网站http://cis.seu.edu.cn，敬请留意。线上授课期间，任课老师将通过邮件或微信联络他们的学生。

11. All the rules from 1-10 can be applied with the online Chinese language teaching of CIS.
