Postgraduate students cannot register if they have not paid their tuition fees or are unqualified for other registration conditions. If you are unable to register on time, you should write to the Postgraduate Academic Affairs Management Office of the schools or departments concerned and simultaneously provide relevant documents as evidence of registration problems (if you have already been assigned to a supervisor, you should ask for his/her permission first).

Campus Life
1.Tsinghua SIGS Campus Map
Student apartments are located in the northwest of campus. We provide single rooms for international students. A request should be made at the Campus Housing Services to switch rooms. A single room costs 1000 RMB per month, payable in full or semi-annually at the beginning of every semester. A deposit is required when making the first payment.
Single rooms are equipped with a desk and shelf, a cupboard, a chair, a 180 cm x 200 cm bed, air conditioner + remote. Each single room has its own bathroom and shower. Please note that you will be required to buy your own mattress and bedding.
It is the student's responsibility to secure off-campus accommodation. There are a number of apartments for rental around campus, for instance, SoFunLand,(located in Tanglang), provides decent student apartments and shuttle services for tenants. On average, off-campus accommodation is costlier than dormitories on campus.
