On the afternoon of September 20, 2022, the College of International Education of Shanghai Business School held the 2022 International Students Enrollment Education Training in Conference Room 1503 of Xuhui Campus. Dai Ying, Vice Dean of the College and all the staff of the International Students Office attended the meeting. About 60 new students from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe participated in this training in the offline or online form.
First, Zhang Ruyi, who is in charge of student management, gave a presentation on three aspects: epidemic prevention regulations, scholarship evaluation and safety education. She clarified the requirements for international students to enter the school, and she suggested that students carry out nucleic acid testing every day to deal with emergencies such as medical treatment. At the same time, she reminded them to strengthen their awareness of self-health and epidemic prevention. Afterwards, she emphatically introduced the management and application methods of the Shanghai Government Scholarship for Foreign Students and SBS Scholarship. For safety education, she gave tips and requirements on the aspects of traffic safety, personal safety, property safety, and daily life. After that, Shen Lanxin, who is in charge of the academic management, introduced the relevant management regulations on the aspects of attendance, graduation, suspension, and withdrawal, and she explained in detail the evaluating method of grades, the postponement of the examination, the payment requirements for course re-study, as well as the graduation requirements.
During the Q&A session, the new students raised questions about online teaching, attendance, language proficiency requirements for graduation, scholarship evaluation rules, and employment issues. The teachers of the International Students Office gave meticulous answers, further clarified that a quiet environment and a stable network are necessary for taking online courses. Moreover, they introduced the requirements for scholarship selection and gave relevant suggestions on career planning and employment.
Finally, on behalf of the College of International Education, Vice Dean Dai Ying once again welcomed new international students to join the warm and friendly family of SBS, and she hoped that this training would enhance everyone’s understanding of the university, Shanghai and China. Besides, she further emphasized the following two points: First, international students must strengthen personal protection during the epidemic and cooperate with the epidemic prevention work; second, international students must treat cultural differences objectively and rationally, abide by Chinese laws and university regulations. She hopes that everyone can grow and develop during their study at SBS, realize their dreams, and promote cultural exchanges between countries.
This training is the first lesson of “enrollment education” for new international students at SBS. In the next few weeks, the College of International Education will cooperate with various second-level colleges to carry out a series of training and lectures to help international students learn more about the university and their majors, meet teachers and make new friends, and truly learn what they want and achieve what they desire.
