2026 autumn intake: Ludong University's 2026 Autumn International Students Enrollment Brochure (2026年秋季鲁东大学国际学生招生简章), published 3 April 2026 on the International Exchange and Cooperation Office site wsc.ldu.edu.cn, states the application period as 1 May to 10 June each year (申请时间 每年5月1日~6月10日) and the registration period as 25–27 August, with airport pickup on 26–27 August and classes beginning 31 August; the 1 May to 10 June 2026 window for the 2026 autumn intake has therefore closed. The same brochure is published in eleven language editions. Its fee section states that the application fee is paid at registration (报到注册时缴纳), so the fee itself is not tied to the application deadline. The university's CSC agency number 10451 is published in its Chinese Government Scholarship High-Level Postgraduate Programme brochure as 鲁东大学机构编号为10451, which directs applicants to select programme Type B in the CSC system. The International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship route is published separately as 鲁东大学2026年CIS申请办法, dated 3 April 2026. No 2027 autumn intake notice had been published on wsc.ldu.edu.cn as of 17 September 2026.

The same figure appears on the university's standing 费用及账户 page as 报名申请费 400元 in the 收费标准 table. The brochure and the fee page do not state whether the fee is refundable, so refundability is unverified.
