RENMIN UNIVERSITY, 9 Sep. 2014 (Via RUC English News): On September 9th, 2014, freshmen of Renmin University of China were able to use their own cellphones to register when they arrived. It is Chinese universities’ brand new tryout in the utilization of mobile terminals. This is another hi-tech card RUC has played after it initiated “VRUC” online to start the smart campus program. As long as the new comers have uploaded relevant information in advance onto “VRUC”, the comprehensive service platform of Renmin University of China, they can complete their registration only with the passport in their cellphones. The passport, an electronic identifying code which can be emailed to the students or printed out directly after their VRUC account is activated, encodes the necessary information, such as admission letter, ID photo and application forms. For the staff, laptops, printers and printed forms are no longer needed. What they should do is to download and install the application of VRUC and scan the passport provided by the students to complete the registration. Furthermore, cellphone registration enables the staff to check, arrange, download and print out all the files in one-stop if necessary. Right on the spot, many freshmen were using their cellphones to scan the electronic code for registration. For them, the user-friendly cellphone registration is undoubtedly helpful. “It seems so quick, and only one scan is done. I have uploaded my personal picture for my student ID card and got passed, so I don’t need to do much for registration on the spot. It’s really convenient for us new students”, said Che Ran, a freshman from the School of Economics. On the registration day, the Party Committee Secretary of RUC, Jin Nuo, and the school president, Chen Yulu were present to examine how “cellphone registration” worked. Mrs. Jin Nuo highly recognized this creative approach of registration, “the method of cellphone registration is convenient and time-saving, which shows RUC is student-oriented and devoted to constructing a humanized and digitized campus for all students, and I hope this technology can be promoted and applied in more fields in campus service.” President Chen Yulu pointed out, the freshman registration has for the first time displayed the spiritual outlook of RUC to those newcomers and their parents, who came here with great enthusiasm and expectation. In 2012, Renmin University of China confirmed that campus information construction should be both teaching and research-based, student-oriented, top university-targeted and centered on resource platform construction. In January 2014, “VRUC”, the campus comprehensive service platform, was initiated as the updated version of “Shuzirenda”, a digital service system in use since the beginning of 21th century. “VRUC” provides multiple services, including online teaching, service work, campus application and school administration, which also functions as a campus social network. Compared with traditional ways, cellphone registration within the “VRUC” system is an unprecedented tryout to introduce information technology into school administration for higher efficiency.  ( Transwritten by Li Yuqin, Guo Zi’en and Liu Danqing, Reviewed by Long Yan )
