On-campus housing

If you wish to  reside on campus during your stay at CPU, a limited number of furnished,  air-conditioned, all-gender dormitory rooms are available.  Housing condition and fee vary (see the form below). 

Please  note that all dormitories are non-smoking facilities and they are not designed  for catering families. If you have spouse and children, you may consider  off-campus housing and make your own arrangements.

Please  note the following:

Room telephones  are not provided. Please bring your own mobile phone.

Campus WIFI is  everywhere except student dormitories. Please purchase your own Internet  access. 

Linens(blankets)  are not provided. Please bring your own. 

All rooms are  carpet-free for pest control purposes. The climate here is humid and suitable  for pests to make themselves at home in a wool-rich carpet! 

Halls, Fees  and Conditions

CPU now provides three  resident halls for international students:

Occupancy

First-year  Guarantee: The university must ensure  that there are enough rooms available for all first-year students. Student who  don't meet the graduation requirement in the end of program are not considered  for on-campus housing placement. 

Single-room Guarantee:  Although CSC Administration  Manual (2016) requires all CSC-funded students be placed in double room,  currently CPU provides CSC-funded Ph.D. candidate  single room free of charge.  Student's legal spouse, if extra room is needed,  shall pay for his/her own expense. 

Priority:  When CSC-funded  Ph.D. candidates are adequately placed, a limited number of single rooms are  open for application to self-funded students on a first-come, first-serve  basis. Self-funded  student can select single or double room on the day of university registration.  However, for those who register late, housing cannot guarantee to meet  everyone's specific requests. You should be prepared to accept any available  space in any building. 

When  CSC-funded Ph.D. candidates and all first-year self-funded students are placed,  a limited number of single rooms are open for application for CSC-funded  Master's students. 

In  very few cases are CSC-funded Bachelor's student considered for single  occupancy, such as quanrantine of infectious diseases or  disability. 

Students  with medical conditions that may cause sudden death such as epilepsy, asthma,  food allergies, cardiovascular diseases, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea  syndrome, etc. shall not apply for single room. A timely help from roommate may  save your life.  If you insist to apply for single room, you must sign a Waiver  of Liability with the University. 

Roommate  Matching

Either students  of the same gender or married couples (both should be students) will be arranged  in one double room. 

CSC-funded Bachelor’s and  Master’s candidates will be sharing a double room, as required by the 2017 CSC  Administration Manual. Single room is provided only  under very special situations such as disability, and student who apply for  single room must pay the difference (1200/semester for full-scholarship  Master's, 2700/semester for partial scholarship and self-funded students) before  placement decision is made.

The Section of  International Students will make every effort to accommodate your preferences,  but we reserve the right to assign all residence space according to  availability, suitability, fairness and need.

Confirmation of  Offer

Each resident will  receive an offer letter from the Section of International Students for a  specific room in a specific building. Submitting the letter to the Housing  Administrator and taking the key is seemed as accepting the offer. Modification of  room assignments can be made inside the same building upon 24  hours of receiving the  offer letter.

Withdrawal

Any  student who withdraws or take suspension from the University during the  occupancy period is no longer eligible to live in residence. All residence  privileges will terminate at noon on the effective date of de-registration from  the University. It is the responsibility of the student to notify the Section of  International Students in  writing of  their Checking-out from on campus housing and to return their keys to the  Housing Administrator. If no checking-out application is received, the room will  continue to bill.   

Transfers 

Information  about other available dormitories is updated frequently. It is the student's  responsibility to contact the Section of International Students for the  application. 

Transfers  are permitted when the room (and facility) has serious quality problems  (leakage, etc.) with Housing Administrator's  confirmation, 

or:

the  student's coursework/labwork (>80%) moves to the other campus, with  supervisor's confirmation. 

Transfers  are not permitted for reasons including eating and sleeping habits, religion,  sexual orientation, political affiliation, bodily odor and other personal  tendencies, need of privacy, or convenient access to kitchen.  Transfers  are not permitted unless alternative space is available and are mediated  as a final resolution between Housing Administrator and Section of International  Students.

Room  optimization happens when a student is the  only occupant of a double room. The office reserves the right to arrange new  roommates. 

Room  Checks

For routine fire check, pest  control, wall painting or scheduled maintenance, notice will be given to public  in advance by the university office concerned. Work will be done without  student's presence.

For emergency checks, work  will be done without any notice (such as to put up fire, to stop suicidal  attempts, to demand visitor to leave).

For all room checks, there  shall be two or more staffs enter a room each time.

Laundry and  Kitchen

Laundry and kitchen cards are  sold and recharged in reception room or using the official APPs.

Room  Electricity

The free amount of  electricity is provided only in the beginning of semester and the unused amount  of electricity cannot be transferred to another room. 

When free amount of  electricity is used up, student shall recharge at their own cost at Supply House  (the white-colored bungalow near Cafeteria #2). Contact the reception room to  check your room electrical meters frequently.
