January 28, 2020
To all international students:
Hope this email finds you in good spirit and health. China has been working very hard to contain the novel coronavirus. Entrusted by President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang arrived on Monday (Jan 27) in Wuhan to fight beside us. We have faith that it will all work out well. Please pay attention to the announcement below while protecting yourself.
1. The school decided to postpone the starting date of spring semester 2020. The specific opening time will be notified later according to the updated situation. All students (including international students) are not allowed to return to school before regulated time. HUST will adjust the teaching arrangement of spring semester according to the delayed opening time.
2. HSK in the mainland of China on February 9 and 16 will be postponed. Examinees now have two options:
(1) Candidates can be reserved to take other HSK directly after the epidemic is over.
(2) Candidates can also apply for a full refund of the examination fee after February 16.
So far candidates who applied for HSK overseas will not be affected. Please pay close attention to www.chinesetest.cn.
3. Those who currently stay outside Hubei and can not come back to Wuhan due to the current lockdown of Hubei Province, you can choose to go back to your own country. Please report to ISO of your departure time and keep safe and healthy. Please stay home and measure your temperature daily and come back to HUST according to our updated notice.
ISO wish you a healthy and prosperous 2020. Please take good care of yourself and stay safe.
全体国际学生:
1月27日,受国家主席习近平委托,国务院总理李克强来到武汉,考察指导疫情防控工作,看望慰问患者和奋战在一线的医护人员。在这个特殊的时期,请全体国际学生注意以下几则通知:
1、关于2020年春季开学日期
根据教育部的工作要求,学校决定推迟2020年春季开学时间。具体开学时间另行通知。全体学生(包括留学生)不得提前返校。学校将根据延迟开学时间,调整春季学期教学安排。
2、关于2月份HSK考试
为保障考生安全,2月9日和2月16日在中国内地举行的汉语水平考试HSK将延期举行,同时保留考生考试资格待疫情好转后直接参加其他场次考试。考生也可于2月16日后,申请全额退还考试服务费。海外报名参加HSK的考生暂不受影响。请各考点、考生密切关注汉语考试服务网www.chinesetest.cn。
3. 因湖北省内实行交通管制,由于交通管制无法返回武汉而选择回国的同学,请注意安全并及时向ISO报告离境日期。回国后请自觉居家,每日定时测量体温,等学校通知后再返回。
最后,国际学生办公室祝大家健康平安、新春快乐!
