According to the school arrangements, the summer vacation starts from July 9 to August 30, 2026 Please note that autumn semester starts from:

Undergraduate, Master, PhD programs：August 31 2026 to January 13, 2027

All International Students should come back on time after vacation and complete the online accommodation registration again if you returned from abroad and arrived in Beijing.

To ensure a happy holiday, please pay attention to the followings:

I. All International students who are in China should fill in the online "Winter Vacation Registration for International Students at CFAU" to ensure that we can provide you with necessary emergency help during the holiday. For exchange students, if you finish your one-semester study and go back home, don't forget to check out in time, take out all your belongings, hand in your room card and pay the due fee (accommodation, electricity, water etc.). If you continue to study next semester as self-financed student, you can re-check in when you return, note that your room might be rearranged. If you want to keep the same room, remember to pay the fee in time even when you are away.

II. Students traveling within China must abide by Chinese laws and regulations. In particular, do not engage in any physical violence or conflict; do not damage public facilities; do not get involved in alcohol abuse, gambling, or drug abuse; and do not engage in any illegal activities. Students staying on campus should also abide by the rules of CFAU and the regulations of International Exchange Center. Be sure to use public kitchen safely and note that smoking is strictly forbidden on the whole premise (including your own balcony). Students who move from Shahe to Zhanlan Rd campus or travel away from Beijing, please bring your personal ID with you, take out all your trash and turn off all the electronic appliances and water supply before you leave.

III. Missionary work or religious gatherings are not allowed on campus. Do not organize or participate in parades, signing events or any high-risk activities.
