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 Communication University of China. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.
Agency number recorded: 10033. Confirm it in the current Type B notice before submitting.
CNY 800 self-funded degree; CNY 600 preparatory/language The 2026 self-funded degree notices list a non-refundable CNY 800 application fee, paid online before initial review; CUC's own graduating students are exempt. The 2026 FAQ lists CNY 600 for preparatory or language study and exempts High-Level CSC and MOFCOM applicants. The separate May 2026 Silk Road call also explicitly waives its application fee. A transfer voucher is accepted if online payment fails, following the application page. The ICLTS and Type A pre-admission notices do not specify an application charge; the general CNY 600/800 charges must not automatically be applied to those awards. These rules do not establish fees or exemptions for every 2027 programme.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
The 2026 self-funded undergraduate call opened from its February 6, 2026 publication until May 15, 2026 at 24:00 Beijing time; CSCA results or a registration screenshot were required by April 30, 2026. The postgraduate call opened from its February 12, 2026 publication until the same May 15 cutoff. The 2026 CSC High-Level Postgraduate call required university submission by March 1, 2026 at 24:00, followed by CSC submission with pre-admission by March 25 at 23:59. The separate 2026 Silk Road master's call ran from its May 4 publication until May 18, 2026 at 24:00; its later CSC submission deadline is unstated. These degree windows have closed. The ICLTS March 2027 one-semester programme opened March 1, 2026 and closes for students October 31, 2026; recommending-institution/university review closes November 10. Its deadline is Beijing time and does not establish a current CSC or self-funded degree window. Type A's December 1–March 30 range is a general rule; each country's authority sets its dates. For 2026 self-funded results, the Chinese notices say after June 22, while the English notices say from June 22. Undergraduate admission and successful freshman-scholarship notices were scheduled by July 25; postgraduate documents progressively from July. The September 4 standing language brochure names spring May 30 and autumn November 30 without an intake year, although its teaching table lists spring February/March–June and autumn September–December; confirm those conflicting associations before planning. No September 2027 degree schedule is established by these reviewed notices.
