给海外留学博士生的一封信

A Letter to International PhD Students

亲爱的留学博士生：

Dear international PhD students,

2020年是不寻常的一年，世界各地先后遭受新冠肺炎疫情的肆虐。在疫情来袭之时，学校始终心系同学们的健康与安全。在防疫物资匮乏之时，学校同样感受到来自你们的温暖。无论是从万里海外传递而来的口罩，还是主动请缨加入抗疫队伍，这些感人事迹历历在目，进一步见证了中外友谊的缔结。

As the COVID-19 pandemic ravages all parts of the world, the year 2020 has seen myriad changes. In the toughest times of the fight against the pandemic, you sent badly needed masks from thousands of miles away, and took the initiative to fight alongside the Chinese people. We will remember your best wishes and acts of support to China, which has further witnessed the strong friendship between the Chinese people and the peoples across the world.

无奈，疫情的阴霾依旧笼罩全球。为防止疫情的扩散，部分国家及地区采取了不同的入境限制，民间交流互通受到了影响，但我们抱有希望，相信国际社会携起手来，一定能够战胜疫情，一切都将“春暖花开”。

With the COVID-19 virus still looming over the world, some countries and regions have adopted different entry restrictions to prevent the spread of the outbreak, which has affected non-governmental exchanges. However, we have hope and believe that the international community will join hands to defeat the pandemic and that spring is sure to come.

为确保返校后同学们安心学习，继续享有学校基本奖助金等相关待遇，根据《深圳大学招收外国留学生攻读博士学位管理办法》第八条规定，“留学博士生实行全日制学习方式。学习年限一般为3年。由于特殊原因不能按时毕业时可申请延长学习年限，最长不超过5年。延长学习期间的第一年，留学博士生可享受学校基本奖助金、住宿优惠等方面待遇，之后的延长学习期间不再享受学校以上待遇。留学博士生在我校进行课程学习和科学研究工作的累计时间不得少于一年半。”因此，学校作出如下决定：无法入境返校的同学办理休学，暂停领取基本奖助金，待入境返校后再申请复学，继续享有基本奖助金，以确保接下来的学业顺利开展。

Amidst the fight against the pandemic, your health and safety has been our top concerns. According to Article 8 of theAdministrative Measures for International PhD Students in Shenzhen University, international PhD students will be enrolled in full-time doctoral programs with a general duration of three years. The duration can be extended to a maximum of five years if students cannot graduate on time due to special reasons. Students can continue to enjoy the basic scholarship, financial aid and accommodation discount offered by Shenzhen University in the first year of the extended period, and will no longer enjoy the above benefits in the rest years of the extended period. In addition, international PhD students must spend an accumulation of at least one year and a half at Shenzhen University on course study and scientific research. Therefore, in order to ensure that you can continue to enjoy the benefits provided by the University, students who are unable to enter China and return to the university apply for a suspension of studies and suspend receiving the basic scholarship and financial aid. When you are able to return, you can apply to resume your studies, scholarships and financial aid.

病毒不分国界，环球同此冷热。愿你们顺利安康、平安归来，我们荔园再相聚！

Dear students, virus respects no borders. We wish you a safe return to the university!
