华南师范大学国际文化学院致学生的一封信

A Letter to International Students of SIC, SCNU

亲爱的同学们：

大家好！为做好新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情防控工作，尽可能降低疫情对教学和人才培养工作的不利影响，按照广东省教育厅“开学不返校，停课不停学”的精神，遵照学校“开学不返校，网教不停学”的原则，为做好新型冠状病毒预防工作，提高同学们的自我防护意识，保障身体健康，特将有关事项告知如下：

一、认真服从学校和学院疫情防控工作安排

1、为保障全体同学的健康安全，所有学生不得提前返校。不要到疫情区从事任何活动，避免接触疫情区返回的人员，尽量减少感染机会。为有效切断传播途径，降低同学们旅行途中被感染风险，无论你身在何处，请务必不要提前返校。如条件允许，请在原地停留，避免跨区域移动，直至学校发布正式开学通知后，再订购机票或车票。

2、留校同学务必遵守学校疫情防控期间相关管理要求，服从学校统一安排，做好个人房间卫生清洁，请勿随意外出，做到尽量不出校门。确有必要外出者，请向国际交流合作处留管老师提出申请。

3、要求留校的同学继续待在宿舍学习，不离开校园外出旅游，不要在宿舍内聚餐聚会，禁止邀请校外人员进入宿舍，避免到人群密集和空气流通不畅的场所活动。不购买不干净的外送食物，请前往学校指定食堂打包回宿舍用餐，减少公共接触。

二、做好个人防护，减少感染风险   

1、避免前往人群密集的公共场所。避免接触发热呼吸道感染病人，外出请佩戴口罩，做好防护。推荐选择外科医用口罩、N95口罩，佩戴正确，定时更换，使用后放置在塑料袋内丢弃在有害垃圾箱内。目前学院已为师生筹集了一批外科医用口罩，一个星期左右到货，到时将分发给师生。

2、注意个人卫生，出门前后勤洗手、不随地吐痰。打喷嚏或咳嗽时，不要直接用手捂住口鼻，应该使用纸巾或弯曲手肘掩盖口鼻。用过的纸巾应丢弃在有害垃圾箱内。保持良好的个人生活和卫生习惯，勤洗手，多通风，保证睡眠充足，生活有规律，注意保暖，加强锻炼，提高免疫力。规律作息，保持室内卫生整洁。        

3、避免接触野生动物，不要捕食、贩卖、购买野味。购买水鲜禽肉要通过正规渠道，食用禽肉蛋奶要充分煮熟。

4、如出现发热、乏力、干咳等呼吸道症状，请戴上口罩及时就近到医院就诊，同时要告知医生是否有接触类似病人或动物接触史、旅行史（尤其是湖北地区）等信息。

三、开学、教学工作安排

按照学校2020年春季学期开学 “开学不返校、网学不停学”的工作思路和开学安排，国际文化学院学生线上注册时间：2月28日、29日，学费待正式开学后再收取。线上授课开始时间：3月2日（星期一）开始，预计线上授课1个月左右。本学期学生返校上课时间将根据学校要求另行通知。正式开学之前，学生所有中国国内实习和社会活动，均不进行。

     在疫情防控时期，坚持“网学不停学”，学院将向所有报名的留学生免费提供线上汉语教学服务，对已注册的语言生进行针对性的在线辅导，对学历生进行学分课程的线上教学，帮助留学生提高汉语水平，了解中国文化，顺利完成学业。国内研究生（包括博士研究生、硕士研究生）根据学校、研究生院要求，进行网络教学。受制于时差、网络条件，国外研究生所有课程均安排后半学期集中上课。

研究生科研、论文指导等工作。请各位研究生同学通过电话、电子邮件、网络通讯等多种形式，积极与导师联络，完成好学位论文的写作，做好答辩准备；同时，密切关注学校相关通知，及时了解现阶段各培养环节要求及时间节点，做好各项学活动习工作。

志愿者外派工作方面，当前，根据疫情防控工作需要，学校已暂停各类校外实习实践和联合培养工作。请各位同学密切关注孔子学院总部通知，按相关通知要求执行。

四、目前最新签证政策

请登录网站（http://gdga.gd.gov.cn/jwzx/gggs/content/post_2895028.html），浏览广东省公安厅出入境管理局关于新冠肺炎疫情防控期间外国人出入境和停居留管理措施的温馨提醒。

五、坚定信心、共克时艰

同学们，防控疫情需要我们每个人的努力，请大家关注微信群，保持电话畅通，感谢你们的理解与配合，希望大家都能严格做好防护工作，时刻关注身体健康，保持良好生活习惯，合理安排学习生活。

请同学们相信学校是坚强的后盾。在这个特殊时期，请同学们安排好自己的学习生活，学校、学院将努力为大家提供必要的帮助。如果你有什么需求，请第一时间联系老师，我们会为同学们提供最好的帮助和建议。

让我们共同努力，坚定信心、科学防护，积极做好防疫工作。待到疫情结束、健康安全、春暖花开的时候，我们在学院热烈欢迎同学们归来！

A Letter to International Students of SIC, SCNU

Dear students,

In order to take active measures to prevent the outbreak of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), and to minimize the adverse effects of the epidemic on teaching and personnel training, Department of Education of Guangdong Province and SCNU announced that students were not allowed to return to school yet and should study online. Following the guidance of our higher authorities, to best help prevent the outbreak, to improve students’ awareness of self-protection, and to ensure the health and safety of our students, the relevant matters are hereby notified as follows.

I. Comply with epidemic prevention and control arrangements established by SCNU and SIC

1. To ensure the health and safety of our students, all students are not allowed to return to SCNU in advance. To minimize the chance of infection, do not go to the epidemic areas to engage in any activities and avoid meeting people who returned from the epidemic areas. In order to effectively cut off the transmission routes and reduce the risk of being infected while traveling, please do not return to SCNU in advance，no matter where you are. If conditions permit, please stay still and avoid moving across regions. Don’t book tickets until SCNU releases rescheduled opening date.

2. Students who stay on campus must abide by the management requirements during the SCNU epidemic prevention and control and obey the unified arrangements of SCNU. Keep your personal rooms clean, do not go out at will, and try not to leave the campus. If you have to go, please timely report to the teachers in charge of International Student Administration, Office of International Exchange and Cooperation.

3. Students who stay on campus are required to study in the dormitory. Do not leave the campus to travel, or gather for meals and parties in the dormitory. It is forbidden to invite outsiders to enter the dormitory. Avoid visits to crowded areas and places of poor ventilation. Do not buy unclean take-out food, and please go to SCNU’s designated canteens and pack the food back to the dormitory to reduce public contact.

II. Strengthen self-protection and reduce the risk of infection

1. Avoid visits to crowded public areas and contact with patients with fever and respiratory tract infections. Please wear masks when you go out for protection. Surgical masks and N95 masks are recommended. Please wear them correctly, change them regularly, put used masks in plastic bags and discard them in hazardous waste bins. At present, SIC has collected a batch of surgical masks, which will arrive in about a week and will be distributed to our teachers and students.

2. Pay close attention to your personal hygiene. Wash your hands frequently before and after going out, and do not spit. When sneezing or coughing, cover your nose and mouth with tissue or bent elbows instead of your hands. Used tissues should be discarded in hazardous waste bins. Maintain good personal life and hygienic habits, such as washing your hands frequently, keeping your room well ventilated, ensuring adequate sleep, keeping warm, and increasing physical exercise.

3. Avoid touching, preying on, selling, buying or eating wild animals. Buy aquatic products, poultry and meat through regular channels. Poultry, eggs and meat must be thoroughly cooked before consumption.

4. If you have respiratory symptoms such as fever, feebleness and cough, please wear a mask and seek medical attention at nearby hospitals. Tell the doctor your travel and residence history (especially Hubei) and if you have any contact with patients with the above symptoms or animals.

III. Arrangements for new semester and teaching

According to SCNU’s arrangements for 2020 spring semester, online registration time for students of SIC is February 28 and 29. Tuition fees will be charged after the rescheduled opening date. Online courses will start from March 2 (Monday) and are expected to last for about one month. The time of returning to school for this semester will be notified later according to the SCNU’s requirements. Before the rescheduled opening date, all internships and social activities in China will not be conducted.

During the period of epidemic prevention and control, to help international students improve Chinese language, understand Chinese culture and complete their studies successfully, SIC will provide free online Chinese teaching for all registered international students, targeted online instruction for registered language students, and online credit courses for degree students. Chinese master’s degree students and doctoral degree students should study online courses according to the requirements of SCNU and Graduate School. Subject to jet lag and network conditions, all the courses for foreign master’s degree students and doctoral degree students are scheduled for the second half of the semester.

IV. The latest visa policy

Please visit the website（http://gdga.gd.gov.cn/jwzx/gggs/content/post_2895028.html） and read Warm Suggestions by Exit-Entry Administration of Guangdong Public Security Department (GDPSD) during the Period of Prevention and Control on Pneumonia Caused by Novel Coronavirus.

V. Enhance confidence and overcome difficulties

Dearest students, epidemic prevention and control requires the efforts of each of us. Please pay attention to Wechat groups and keep your mobile phones on. We sincerely ask for your understanding and cooperation. We hope that everyone can strengthen self-protection, pay close attention to health and safety, maintain good living habits and arrange your study reasonably.

Please firmly believe that we have SCNU’s strong and full backing. During this special period, please arrange your study and life reasonably and SCNU and SIC will strive to provide everyone with necessary help. Should there be any problem or need, please contact your teachers as soon as possible and we will provide you with the best help and suggestions.

We have every reason to believe that our concerted efforts, strong determination and scientific protection will help us soon win the fight against the novel coronavirus. When the epidemic is over, we warmly welcome you to SIC.
