Hainan University's International School published its 2026-2027 Chinese language and culture programme brochure (海南大学2026-2027学年中国语言文化进修项目招生简章) on 9 December 2025; it was reopened on 1 October 2026 and is unchanged. It gives the spring semester (March 2027) application deadline as 31 December 2026 and the autumn semester (September 2026) deadline as 10 July 2026, which has closed. Published costs: a registration fee (报名费) of CNY 400 paid with the application and non-refundable whether or not the applicant is admitted; tuition of CNY 8,050 per semester or CNY 16,100 per academic year; on-campus accommodation at CNY 3,200 per person per semester for a single room in Building 15 or CNY 1,600 per person per semester for a double room in Building 16, with utilities self-paid; insurance of CNY 800 per year or CNY 400 per semester; and a medical examination fee of about CNY 400. Eligibility: aged 18 to 60, physically and mentally healthy and meeting Chinese entry-exit conditions. Financial proof: a deposit of at least CNY 30,000 for a one-semester research student or CNY 50,000 for a one-academic-year research student. The notice names the Chinese Government Scholarship country programme, the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship and the Hainan Provincial Chinese Education Scholarship, but publishes no amount, quota or deadline for any of them, so no award is claimed here and none is rendered as full funding. This is a non-degree language admission window, not a degree intake.
Hainan University's official calendar lists Dec 31, 2026 as the deadline for Chinese Language and Culture Program (non-degree), spring semester March 2027 (checked October 2, 2026). A deadline alone does not establish an open application window. Contact the admissions office for the opening date and eligible programs before submitting or paying.
Fee note: Hainan University publishes an application fee of CNY 400. The Chinese text of the official 海南大学2026-2027学年国际学生招生简章 states under 七、费用支付: '1. 报名费：400元。提交申请材料的同时缴纳报名费，无论是否录取，报名费不予退还。' — a 报名费 (registration/application fee) of CNY 400, paid at the same time as the application materials are submitted, and not refunded whether or not the applicant is admitted. The university's own English brochure for the same intake states the same figure in the EXPENSES (CNY) section as '1. Application fee: 400 Yuan/RMB — Application fee should be paid when application materials are submitted; it is non-refundable.' The figure is separated from tuition in both texts: the next line reads '2. 普通专业学费收费标准（待定）' / '2. Tuition fees to be determined', so CNY 400 is not a tuition figure, and it is well below the CNY 2,000 ceiling. The same page gives accommodation at CNY 3,200 per semester for a single room and CNY 1,600 per semester for a double room, insurance at CNY 800 per year or CNY 400 per semester, and a health check of around CNY 400 — none of which is the application fee.
