To bring its benefits and effects into full play, the following measures are formulated specifically to carry out Annual Review of Scholarship Status. Annual Review refers to the comprehensive assessment system which the international students studying in China under Chinese scholarship programs (hereinafter referred to as the scholarship students) shall go through annually. It will decide whether they are qualified to continue or to renew the scholarship.
The scholarship students who have studied in China for more than one year or who have finished their planned study programs and wish to extend their scholarship should go through Annual Review.
The details of Annual Review include:
1) academic performance (including the examination or test results of all courses in the first term and the general performances in the second term of this academic year);
2) study attitude, attendance;
3) conducts, rewards and punishments received;
According to the DUT rules of teaching and the student registration, DUT assesses whether the students are qualified to continue or to renew the scholarship, and then decide on their results either qualified or unqualified, and proposals on whether to provide, suspend or terminate the scholarship.
The students, whose scholarships are suspended, from the beginning of next academic year, will not be awarded the scholarships any more. However, they can apply to continue their studies as self-financed students or ask for exemption of certain fees according to the regulations of the institutions. Before the period of suspension is over, those involved can apply to go through Annual Review of that year. If they pass the review and get the approval, they can renew their scholarship from the next academic year.
Those who have their scholarship terminated will stop to have the scholarships from the day of proclamation and cannot renew their scholarships any more.

If the Insured international students receive outpatient or emergency medical treatment because of illness and incur actual and reasonable expenses for medical treatment, the insurance company shall be liable for 85% of the payment that is beyond accumulative RMB650 Yuan within the same period of insurance, limited to RMB600 Yuan per day and an accumulative amount of RMB20000 Yuan. The insurance liability shall be terminated once the accumulative amount of payment reaches the sum insured.

2) Original of receipt;
3) Medical record, detailed expenditure sheet and copy of examination report and laboratory test report of each respective treatment;
