Application dates, fees and sources
For Shandong 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: Shandong Normal University charges an application fee of CNY 415. Its Chinese 收费标准 (charge standard) page states 学历教育 报名费 415元 — a registration fee of 415 yuan for degree education — repeated in the non-degree section as 报名费：415元 and in the English fee tables as "Registration RMB415". The same page separately lists tuition by level and language of instruction (人文科学 CNY 14,000/year undergraduate Chinese-taught rising to CNY 32,100/year doctoral English-taught), accommodation at CNY 80/day single room and CNY 40/day double room, insurance at CNY 400 per half year or CNY 800 per year, and textbook costs. This is an application fee and not tuition: the 415 yuan is the 报名费 line and the tuition lines are recorded under tuition instead.
