For the 2026/2027 intake, Civil Aviation University of China (中国民航大学, CAUC) publishes its own 2026 留学生招生简章 / INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ADMISSION GUIDE 2026 on the official domain www.cauc.edu.cn — notice released 2026-03-10 at www.cauc.edu.cn/en/info/1054/1218.htm, with the guide PDF at /__local/3/97/B1/A46537C8942BDA2D75F55B1F217_6F32EA16_66D105.pdf on the same domain. The 2026 guide states the application period as "申请期限：2026年1月25日-2026年7月15日" (25 January 2026 to 15 July 2026), with admission letters issued in July 2026 and term start in September 2026 (2026年9月正式开学，具体日期另行通知). That 2026 window has now closed as of 23 September 2026. For comparison, the university's own 2024 guide fixed the prior window at "申请期限：2024年1月10日-2024年5月31日" (Application Period: January 10th, 2024 to May 31st, 2024), with letters in July 2024 and term start September 2024 — also closed. CAUC additionally ran a 2026 spring-semester English foundation programme (notice released 2025-10-14, www.cauc.edu.cn/en/info/1054/1209.htm) and a "2026 CAUC International Foundation Program Admission Guide" (released 2025-10-14, www.cauc.edu.cn/en/info/1054/1208.htm); the spring-2026 foundation intake has closed. As of 23 September 2026 no 2027 intake notice and no dated 2027 window had been published on the university domain, so the next intake window is not yet published. Admission and scholarship windows are separate and are not the same date: the Tianjin Municipal Government Scholarship and the CAUC Freshmen Scholarship are applied for together with the enrolment application (the 天津市外国留学生政府奖学金申请表 is submitted with the application materials, and the guide notes 若学生符合入学基本条件，但未达到以上奖学金申请条件，通过学校审核后，可申请自费入学), while the CAUC Outstanding Enrolled Students Scholarship is assessed annually for students already enrolled (一学年，须每学年申报评定).
For Civil Aviation University of China, 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 October 9, 2026.
Fee note: CAUC's own 2026 留学生招生简章 states, under 3 费用 （一）报名费, "400元/人" together with "报名费以人民币支付，一经缴纳不予退还。" — an application (registration) fee of CNY 400 per person, paid in RMB and non-refundable once paid. The English version of the same official guide (ADMISSION GUIDE, THE MASTER DEGREE PROGRAM OF AIR TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT OF CAUC, hosted on www.cauc.edu.cn) states "Application fee: 400 RMB/person;". The 2024 edition carried the same wording: "400元/人 报名时支付，务必以人民币支付。报名费一经缴纳不予退还。" The figure is identical across the 2024 and 2026 editions. The same documents separately state 学费 (本科 15,000元/人/学年, 硕士 22,000元/人/学年), 住宿费 (双人间 6,000元/人/学年) and 保险费 (1,000元/人/学年 in the 2026 guide) — those are tuition, accommodation and insurance, not the application fee. Both guide PDFs are image-only, so they were rasterised with pdftoppm and read as page images (tesseract -l chi_sim run as a cross-check); the 2026 fee, deadline and scholarship tiers were read off the rendered pages.
