Dress code

We cannot guarantee the student to be placed in his/her desired project. The earlier you send the AF，the more likely you will get the project you desired. 

Don not only apply the project in Beijing. That means you should choose only one project in Beijing. If you still choose only Beijing, we will send the AF back or place you somewhere else. Every local committee provides the exchange with high quality.

Special documents

Upon Arrival documents

The standard documents are the basic documents that the students are asking for and the special documents are less important, as only some Local Committees ask for them. So it's mandatory to upload the standard documents, but not the special ones. (Students do it when asked for by the LEO/NEO.)
The upon arrival documents are hard copies documents that the students are requested to take with them in the host country.”
