Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share") is the act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules.

The main steps inherent to all communication are:

1. The forming of communicative motivation or reason.

2. Message composition (further internal or technical elaboration on what exactly to express).

3. Message encoding (for example, into digital data, written text, speech, pictures, gestures and so on).

4. Transmission of the encoded message as a sequence of signals using a specific channel or medium.

5. Noise sources such as natural forces and in some cases human activity (both intentional and accidental) begin influencing the quality of signals propagating from the sender to one or more receivers.

6. Reception of signals and reassemblying of the encoded message from a sequence of received signals.

7. Decoding of the reassembled encoded message.

8. Interpretation and making sense of the presumed original message.

Question: How to deal with a pending application?

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have. The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result, you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.

To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application.

Question: How long does it take to process my application?

Answer: Processing time varies for different applications. For example, to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example, fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
