Sichuan University's Overseas Students Office publishes a dated application calendar for the 2026 autumn intake: master's, doctoral and non-degree programmes ran 1 November 2025 to 30 May 2026, undergraduate programmes ran 1 January 2026 to 30 May 2026, and non-degree programmes ran 15 March 2026 to 30 May 2026; all three windows have now closed. The official eligibility page and FAQ give a standing spring application period of September 15–November 30, with no year stated, for non-degree programmes and the School of Overseas Education Chinese-language undergraduate programme. This rule does not independently confirm a dated Spring 2027 window or current open status. The Chinese Government Scholarship Type B (Chinese University Program) runs on its own cycle and the university's own scholarship notice states the time for application is from November 1 to February 28 — these are standing annual dates; they do not independently confirm a November 1, 2026 opening for a dated 2027 CSC call. CSC Type A is filed through a Chinese embassy or consulate abroad, where the applicant must first obtain an SCU pre-admission notice, so its closing date is set by the embassy and not by SCU. The Chengdu Sister Cities Scholarship Program, for citizens of Chengdu's sister and friendly-cooperation cities, shares the general window and closed on 30 May 2026. No notice naming a 2027/2028 intake had been published by 17 September 2026. Separately, the university’s official indexed 2026 China Link research call requires CSC submission at least three months in advance and study starting by August 31, 2027. Its Global Link visiting-scholar programme accepts applications year-round, with fiscal-2026 recipients starting by December 30, 2027. These are research-visit rules, not 2027 degree deadlines; live page retrieval was unavailable on October 3, 2026.
For Sichuan 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: The standing official Application Procedures page states a CNY 600 non-refundable application fee, including scholarship applications; unpaid applications are invalid. A previously recorded USD 85 remittance amount is not independently re-established by the cited 2026 guide. Confirm any foreign-currency payment amount with the university’s current payment instructions.

The 2026 guide requires both CSC’s application under the relevant scholarship instructions and submission of Sichuan University’s required documents through the Overseas Students Office website. It does not state which system must be submitted first. General master’s, doctoral and non-degree applications ran November 1, 2025–May 30, 2026; undergraduate applications ran January 1–May 30, 2026. These general windows do not replace a scholarship-specific deadline.

Read the university's procedureCheck Sichuan University's current prospectus for your degree, teaching language, eligibility and deadline. Arrange supervisor contact or pre-admission first when the program requires it.
Read official admission instructionsUse the checklist below, then compare it with your program's required documents. Prepare any signed forms, translations and referee submissions before starting the final application.
If it asks for the CSC form in the university system, finish CSC first and upload that form. If it asks for university admission or recommendation first, complete that stage before CSC. Where both systems are required, submit to both; use a CSC-only process only when the official notice explicitly specifies it.
Read official admission instructionsUse the university and CSC instructions below in the order specified by your program. Keep names, degree, major and teaching language consistent across the forms. Check submission status in every required system.
Check your portal and email for missing-document requests, interviews and results. If a form is returned, correct it and resubmit. Keep admission and scholarship decisions separate; follow the final offer for acceptance, registration and original-document checks.
