Life and Community – Overview and Campus Resources

Welcome to DKU!
As a newly admitted member of the Duke Kunshan community, we know you’re eager to hit the ground running. This page is designed to be your one‑stop “Cheat‑Sheet” for essential campus services and support—from visa guidance to health care, academic advising to student life. Explore the sections below to find the offices, contacts, and quick links you need to thrive at DKU.

Here’s what to expect this fall:

  • First-30 days Essentials: Step‑by‑step walkthroughs for passport & visa applications, packing tips, and travel planning to DKU.

  • Health & Safety: Recommended vaccinations, local medical services, and 24/7 emergency contacts.

  • Academic & Housing Prep: How to register for courses, apply for on‑campus housing, and connect with your academic advisor.

We’ll be rolling out more detailed guides and checklists throughout 2025, so please check back often. In the meantime, if you have any urgent questions, reach out to DKU-ISS@dukekunshan.edu.cn.
