How to Get to CQU
During the registration period (refer to Attachment 5: Orientation Schedule for CQU New International Students - 2015 Autumn Semester) prescribed by the University, the International Students’ Office (ISO) will arrange volunteers to pick up new international students at the exit of domestic arrival and international arrival of Chongqing Airport. Make sure you access the webpage of airport pick-up service at http://admission.cqu.edu.cn/ to book this service or send your flight information to the International Students’ Office via the email iso@cqu.edu.cn one week before the registration dates. When you arrive at the airport, try to find the pick-up sign that reads 重庆大学/CHONGQING UNIVERSITY held high by the volunteers at the exit. The volunteers there will help you get to Chongqing University (at your own expenses).

Please note that the fee for this service, which comes to 200RMB (including taxi fee of around 160 and a tiny amount of volunteer service fee) , needs to be covered by the applicant, and should be delivered to the volunteer who provides the service.
