Suspension of studies?

[Usher]

Hello everyone!

Currently I am studying in a Chinese University as a 2nd year Masters under University scholarship. And I want to suspend my studies for a year. I would like to ask:

1)Can Masters student suspend his/her studies for a year in China?

2)What is the process for suspension of studies?

3)Can I suspend my studies from 2nd semester (the semester after winter vocation)?

4)How will it affect my scholarship?

 

I would be very glad your any reply

That's a question for the university staff!  What will you do if we say yes and they say no?

I have no idea in this matter, so just want some advice, if there was some students done it before I just wanted to hear what situations they had faced.

Did I asked something nonsense?

You asked a good question. But you asked the wrong person. You need to ask your university. Your university knows the rules, they can tell you yes or no. And if they say yes, they can tell you how exactly it works.

 

Good luck!

Yeah. Weird question. I also would have thought the first people to ask would be your department as you are physically there. They would have the most up to date information.

It's a perfectly good question and I can see why anyone would want to know the rules before asking formally. I hope someone else here will know and be able to tell you. I believe it can be done for PhD students, don't know about Masters.

While the OP obviously needs to ask the university at some point, it's very optimistic to assume the university, or at least front-line staff, will have a clue, especially with reference to scholarships. Researching the question in advance is very wise. 

 

The school might / should have regulations. Looking at the rules for Peking University (first I saw on Google) you need to apply to 暂停学业 or 休学 (temporarily stop /rest studies) but 保留学籍 (retain student status / registration), and you can't do it for more than a year. Look for the 第二十二条 in the linked document.
