BFSU generally releases the fall-semester dormitory reservation announcement around August.

For the exact scope and detailed instructions, please refer to the reservation announcement of the specific semester.

Students shall log into the online dormitory reservation system within the specified period and complete online reservation according to the announcement.

Approval generally takes 3 to 5 working days. A “confirmed” status in the system indicates a successful reservation.

Reservation results shall be based on the final successful submission and confirmation record in the system. Unsuccessful reservations caused by network congestion, device issues, operation delays, page refreshes, or failure to confirm submission shall not be used as grounds for the university to retain, restore, or assign a designated room. In principle, the university will not accept requests for designated room arrangements on such grounds.

In principle, the university does not arrange early check-ins except for students who have completed stay-extension payment during the vacation and reserved their bed spaces. If students have special reasons to check in early, they shall contact their schools in advance to apply and wait for university approval. Upon approval, they may check in as early as one week before the registration day.

Early check-in accommodation will be coordinated by the Service Center of International Affairs according to actual room availability. Approval is not guaranteed, nor is any designated room type, building, room, or bed space.

Students shall arrive at BFSU for registration within the period specified in their admission notices or university announcements, and complete check-in according to the confirmed room type.

If a student fails to register on time and does not submit a deferred-registration application with supporting documents, or if the application is not approved by the school, the original reservation record automatically becomes invalid. The university will no longer retain the originally reserved room or room type.

For students whose deferred registration is approved by their schools, the university may retain the original reservation record according to actual circumstances. The retention period shall in principle not exceed one month. After that, accommodation will be rearranged based on remaining availability.

After the fall semester begins, the university will open a dormitory-change window according to room resources, management arrangements and actual work needs. The fall-semester window is generally arranged around October, about one month after the beginning of the semester.

During the window period, on-campus international students who meet dormitory management requirements may submit regular dormitory-change applications according to the announcement.

If rooms are available for adjustment, the university will in principle process applications according to the order of submission in the system. Whether a change succeeds depends on actual availability, system records and university review results.

After a change is approved, students must complete check-in, payment, refund or supplementary payment procedures according to the new room type. In principle, the university will not accept another regular dormitory-change application from the same student in the same academic year. Further changes due to special reasons shall follow the special accommodation needs procedure.

At the end of the fall semester, the university generally arranges stay extension and dormitory change before the winter vacation. The specific time and requirements shall be subject to the official announcement of the specific semester.

Non-graduating students who meet the requirements for continuing study and on-campus accommodation may apply for stay extension during the winter vacation. While applying for stay extension, students may also submit regular dormitory-change applications, which generally do not require special reasons.

Approval of stay extension does not equal approval of dormitory change. Stay extension mainly means retaining accommodation eligibility or bed arrangement, while dormitory change depends on availability. Whether and how the change is arranged shall be subject to the review conclusion of the Service Center of International Affairs.

BFSU generally releases the spring-semester dormitory reservation announcement in late January or early February.

For the exact scope and detailed instructions, please refer to the reservation announcement of the specific semester.

Non-graduating students who meet the requirements for continuing study and on-campus accommodation may apply for stay extension during the summer vacation. While applying for stay extension, students may also submit regular dormitory-change applications, which generally do not require special reasons.

Approval of stay extension does not equal approval of dormitory change. Stay extension mainly means retaining accommodation eligibility or bed arrangement, while dormitory change depends on availability. Whether and how the change is arranged shall be subject to the review conclusion of the Service Center of International Affairs.

Applications for special accommodation needs will be reviewed and handled by the Overseas Students Affairs Office and the Service Center of International Affairs in a coordinated manner, based on application materials, opinions from the student’s school, the student’s actual circumstances and room availability. Depending on actual circumstances, the university may take measures including but not limited to adjusting bed spaces, adjusting floors, coordinating shared-living issues, arranging temporary transitional accommodation, waiting for suitable room availability, maintaining the original arrangement, or taking other necessary measures. Decisions shall be subject to the university review opinion and final notice.
