More than 3,700 new students arrive at Tsinghua

The university has also set up "green channels" for students with financial difficulties. A comprehensive financial aid system has been set up for the undergrads, who are eligible to apply for scholarships, grants, loans and subsidies. The university has already offered transportation and living allowances for 51 financially challenged students.

Moreover, the university has made plans to register students who are unable to attend in person due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

All students are required to take two nucleic acid tests during their first three days on campus. During that period, no large gatherings are allowed and the canteens will only offer takeout.

More than 1,500 teachers and senior students have volunteered to help the freshmen better accommodate to their new lives on campus, such as by helping them carrying their luggage and serving as guides.
