Application timing and source scope
Full timing notes and historical dates
Official-source recheck October 5, 2026: Dali University's international-office pages and linked notices do not expose a dated inbound international-student call for 2026/27 or 2027/28. The current international-office page timed out and the older dali.edu.cn admissions mirror could not be retrieved, so this is an access-limited negative finding rather than proof that no notice exists elsewhere on the university site. No official university-level opening date or cutoff could be verified for self-funded study, a university award, a provincial scholarship or CSC. A 2025 Dali provincial-scholarship prospectus found only on non-university mirrors is excluded. Do not carry another Yunnan university's provincial-award dates over to Dali.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

2027 dates unconfirmed · Autumn degree intake; program-dependent
An exact 2027 admission window is not established by the reviewed university sources. Check the prospectus for your degree and teaching language before scheduling submission.
University website — locate the current admission noticeSelf-funded international-student admission
Choose a degree program for autumn entry, or a short-term language/non-degree program if applying for spring. The official page does not establish a spring intake for degree study. Before preparing a submission, request the current international-student prospectus and confirm the program, teaching language, required documents, opening date, and submission channel with Dali University's international-student office. Its page records dali_iecd@dali.edu.cn and +86-872-2219964 as contact details and says the online platform is linked from brochures. Submit through the channel identified in the current prospectus. The application portal URL recorded in the directory is provided as a starting link, but the latest brochure and the office's instructions should confirm that it applies to the chosen program and intake. Review the current tuition and payment instructions before accepting an offer. The official page does not publish an international-student application-fee amount or a statement that the application is free; fee status remains unknown. Degree programs; autumn entry: Not stated to 30 September each year (annual rule; intake year not named on the page). The recorded official page says degree programs admit autumn entry only and gives 30 September as the annual application closing date. It does not identify a current intake year or opening date. The 30 September 2026 date has passed; the page was not reachable for a fresh direct check on 5 October 2026. Short-term language and other non-degree study only; spring entry: Not stated to 28 February each year (annual rule; intake year not named on the page). The recorded official page reserves spring-semester applications for short-term language and other non-degree students. This is not a spring degree-admission deadline. The opening date and a named intake year are not stated; the page was not reachable for a fresh direct check on 5 October 2026. Limits: The official page's recorded calendar gives annual closing dates but no opening dates and names no intake year. No current admissions prospectus, current-cycle document list, self-funded fee, or verified application sequence was available in this review. Direct access to the official page timed out, so reconfirm the details with the university before applying.
Reference: Official calendar and channel information; intake year not stated. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.

Document checklist and upload instructions
Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
- Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
- Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
- Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
- Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
- Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.
Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.
Application templatesHow to fill the university application
Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.
- Open the university link for your degree level. On an admissions website, find the international-student application entry, then register or sign in. Button names vary between systems.
- Choose the correct entry year, degree, teaching language and program. Read its requirements before selecting your funding option.
- Enter personal information as it appears in your passport. List education and employment dates accurately, and enter a reliable email address.
- Complete the study plan and referee fields. Upload each document to its matching slot; enter a CSC application number only if your route asks for one.
- Preview the whole application. Follow the fee instructions, submit the form and check that the system acknowledges submission. Saving a draft does not submit it.
Costs and scholarship coverage
Application fees are separate from tuition and everyday expenses. Use the same degree, program and accommodation type when comparing universities.
Fee source notes: Application-fee status is unknown, not confirmed-free. The official international-office page https://www.dali.edu.cn/iecd/ timed out on 5 October 2026; the older https://www.dali.edu.cn/gjhz/ pages and previously recorded tuition page did not yield a readable current prospectus. A claimed 20 April 2026 Yunnan Government Scholarship deadline appears in third-party material only and does not establish Dali's official fee, route, or deadline. Confirm charges and payment timing in a current university notice before paying.
