One published window is MISSING from the recorded entry and should be added: the 2026-2027 Chinese Government Scholarship High Level Postgraduate Programme, Type B (2026-2027学年中国政府奖学金高水平研究生项目申请指南, published 2025-11-07), closed on 1 March 2026 — '五、申请截止日期：2026年3月1日，招满提前截止。' No newer intake notice exists: the newest item on the feed is the 2026-04-30 Silk Road guide, and no 2027/2028 or 2027 spring notice had been published as of 15 September 2026 (for comparison, the 2026 spring-semester prospectus was not posted until 2025-09-22, so a 2027 spring prospectus is not yet due). A future closing date alone would not prove an open window in any case, and none is published, so nothing at CNU is open to application today.
For Capital Normal University, refer to the current official admissions notice for opening and closing dates by program and intake. Dates from a previous intake should not be used as the next intake's deadline. Directory-wide opening checks were last completed September 14, 2026.
Fee note: Exact wording in the live 2026 autumn prospectus, 首都师范大学2026学年秋季学期招生简章 (published 2026-03-04 on cie.cnu.edu.cn), section 六、收费标准: the fee is called 报名费 (registration/application fee) and is published as a separate column from 学费 (tuition) for every category, in 元/人/学期. The 报名费 column reads 450元 against the 汉语进修生 block (and, under the same merged cell, 汉语强化班, 自费预科生, 汉语本科生 and 入系本科生), and 800元 against the 硕士生 / 博士生 / 高级进修生 block; short-term students pay 450元 for up to four weeks. Section 四、申请流程 item 2 states the fee is paid online after the application passes review and is never refunded: '审核通过后，学生可在线支付报名费，报名费一经缴纳不予退还'. The recorded amount of 800 CNY therefore applies only to the degree levels this profile serves (master's, doctoral, advanced study); all other applicants pay 450 CNY. TUITION IS NOT THE APPLICATION FEE and must not be substituted for it: the same table publishes tuition per semester of 11,800元 (Chinese-language undergraduate), 11,800–14,500元 (degree undergraduate, by stream), 13,800–17,500元 (master's, by stream) and 15,800–20,500元 (doctoral/advanced), and a one-off 报名费 is never an annual tuition charge. The university's standing 收费标准 page (https://cie.cnu.edu.cn/lhlx/rxsq/sqxz/19815cd6708b469092f3d28488cad0c9.htm, published 2021-04-01, HTTP 200) additionally notes for accommodation, not the application fee: '备注：学期中途转学或退学，宿费将无法退还。'
