This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for China Academy of Art. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for China Academy of Art. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.
Agency number recorded: 10355. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.
人民币800元/次 (CNY 800 per application) CAA publishes an application fee explicitly and separately from tuition: '申请费：人民币800元/次，无论录取与否，不予退还' in the 2026 Chinese-taught bachelor's guide (CNY 800 per application, non-refundable whether or not the applicant is admitted); the master's and doctoral guides state the same figure as '申请费：人民币800元/次，一经提交，不予退还' (non-refundable once submitted). A scanned copy of the bank-transfer receipt must be uploaded with the application ('申请费转账凭证'). The CSC Category B notice repeats the amount with the university's bank details: '报名费800元人民币，请汇款至中国美术学院账号，详情为开户名：中国美术学院，账号：1202024409014432078，银行名称：中国工商银行湖滨支行'. TUITION IS NOT THE APPLICATION FEE and must not be recorded as one: tuition is quoted per 学年 (academic year) — bachelor's RMB 52,000 per academic year, master's RMB 60,000 per academic year, doctoral RMB 68,000 per academic year — and the degree-programme guides state that tuition is inclusive of comprehensive insurance (the bachelor's guide writes '学费（含综合保险1000元/年/生）：人民币52000元/学年/生'). Refundability: the tuition-information page refunds 50% of tuition if the student withdraws before registration and 70% if within 7 days of term start, but states no refund for the application fee, while the bachelor's guide states the application fee is non-refundable under all outcomes.
Charges published on CAA's own tuition-information page and in the 2026 admissions guides. The tuition-information page states 报名费 as its own line, separate from tuition; figures are quoted per 学年 (academic year) unless stated otherwise. · recorded source check: September 15, 2026

Expected graduates must obtain their bachelor’s degree by September 1, 2026. Initial review precedes video interview; check platform messages and email. Successful self-funded applicants pay first-year tuition after pre-admission within the notified period. Registration requires original certificates. The master’s deadline was extended to February 28, 2026 at 24:00 Beijing time.
Reference: 2026. Confirm the latest notice for the same course and route before applying.
Read the university's procedureCheck China Academy of Art'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.
Use the official application link and complete the fields required for your route. Submit documents only through the channel and at the stage stated in the current notice. Pay a charge only when instructed; retain any submission confirmation the system provides.
Check tuition, accommodation, insurance, payment deadlines and any financial-guarantee requirement. Accept the offer through the university's stated process. A CSC application is not part of a purely self-funded route.
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.
