自主招生是对高考制度的改革，有利于逐步实现政府教育职能的转变，有利于高校自主权的实现，从而促进自身的发展。2001年，我国开始进行高校自主招生试点。到2008年,有68所本科院校参加自主招生试点。本研究采用文献研究和比较研究的方法，对近年来我国高等学校自主招生政策及其运行进行了分析和探讨。在此基础上，笔者认为高校自主招生主要表现为两种形式：非完全自主招生模式（即考生既要参加招生高校自行组织的考试，又要参加高考）和完全自主招生模式（即考生只要通过了招生高校自行组织的考试后便可被录取）。自主招生的实施，为高校开辟了一条多元化招生的新途径，也对引导中学重视学生素质发展起到了积极作用；有利于高校提升自身竞争能力,形成特色。同时，自主招生在实践中还存在一些问题，主要是教育公平问题、自主招生政策如何定位问题等。上述问题的存在影响到自主招生的社会公信力，不利于自主招生的进一步推进。针对上述问题，笔者提出了完善高校自主招生的建议：构建综合评价体系；完善自主招生监督机制，兼顾公平与效率；提高高校主体意识，完善高校自主权；转变政府职能，提高政府宏观调控能力；建立健全权力监督机制。同时，在完善高校自主权方面，笔者也提出了自己的思考。

University autonomous enrollment is to reform the university entrance examination system. It is favourable to alter the educational functions of the government. It is also favourable for universities to attain the university autonomy, so as to promote the further development.In 2001, China made experiments of practising the university autonomous enrollment policy.

It analyzed and discussed the policy and the performance of the university autonomous enrollment. On this basis, the thesis classified the practice of university autonomous enrollment into two modes. One is incomplete autonomous enrollment mode, that is, the applicants are required to take both the examination held by the universities and the University Entrance Examination. The other is complete autonomous enrollment mode, namely, the universities are entitled to enroll their students based on the results of the examination held by the universities themselves. The implementation of the autonomous enrollment policy explored a new way for diversified enrollment. It also played an active part in leading the quality education in middle schools. Furthermore, it is favorable for universities to promote their capacity of competition, and to form their feature as well. Meanwhile, there exist some defects in the enforcement of the autonomous enrollment policy, such as education equity problem, the target of the autonomous enrollment policy, etc. The problems mentioned above will affect the public confidence towards the autonomous enrollment policy, which is sure to affect the progress of deepening the autonomous enrollment program.As to how to solve the above problems, the writer put forword the following advice on improving the university autonomous enrollment---- construct the general evaluation system, perfect the superintend mechanism giving consideration to both fairness and efficiency into consideration, further awaken the atonomy awareness of universities in order to better the university autonomy, switch the function of the government to promote its capacity for macro regulation and control, set up perfect rights supervision system. As far as the university autonomy was concerned, the writer brought forward her consideration on how to improve it.
