University application guide
How to apply to Dali University
大理大学
Dali, Yunnan, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Dali University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The application-fee status has not been verified for the current route. An international-student application fee was not verified in the official Dali University pages reviewed. The international office site (https://www.dali.edu.cn/iecd/ and https://www.dali.edu.cn/gjhz/) did not yield a readable current admissions prospectus or 报名费/申请费 figure in this pass; the separately recorded official tuition page remains prior source-attributed information pending a fresh check; the 2025 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship brochure was traced to non-official mirrors, while its official Dali original was not recovered. Those mirror details do not establish an application fee. Omission is recorded as unknown, never as free: no reviewed official Dali notice established either an amount or an exemption.
Source-linked admission details
Prior source-attributed Dali tuition and reduced-fee information, together with recorded application-calendar, route and scholarship claims. The original tuition body was not freshly recovered; the calendar, submission route and provincial award terms remain unconfirmed for a current intake. · recorded source check: September 18, 2026
- Chinese-medium tuition
- Per year in CNY: language preparation (Chinese as a Foreign Language) 12,000; bachelor's liberal arts 12,000, science 14,000, medicine 16,000, arts 18,000; master's liberal arts 22,000, science 22,000, medicine 28,000.
- English-medium tuition
- Per year in CNY: bachelor's medicine 23,000; master's medicine 28,000.
- Reduced-fee countries
- The tuition page states that special tuition fees apply for students from Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma and Lao PDR.
- Application calendar
- Prior official page transcription lists September 30 autumn and February 28 spring cutoffs, but the source could not be reread because of a TLS error. No current university-issued opening or closing dates are verified; do not treat those prior dates as current.
- Application route
- The profile previously recorded https://dali.at0086.cn/StuApplication/Login.aspx, but no current official Dali notice linked or confirmed it in this review. Contact the International Office at dali_iecd@dali.edu.cn or +86-872-2219964 and confirm the authorized route.
- Scholarship administered
- The Dali 2025 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship brochure was not found on an official Dali or Yunnan government page; its dates, scope and terms are unverified and must not be carried into a future intake.
- Programmes covered by the provincial scholarship
- The previously recorded provincial-scholarship programme list included preventive medicine and clinical medicine (5 years), an unspecified additional medical cohort, Chinese Language and Literature (4 years), one-year Chinese preparation, and 3-4-year master's study. The official Dali brochure was not recovered; this list and its eligibility are unverified and must not be presented as a current scholarship offer.
- CSC host institution status
- Listed in the official 2026 CSC host-institution appendix for Yunnan at entry 274. This is the appendix row number, not a CSC agency number, and does not establish a current Dali Type B call.
- Tuition notes
- The fee amounts and reduced-fee nationality list are transcribed from Dali’s official tuition page, but that source failed TLS retrieval on 2 October 2026. Treat these as prior official-page information pending a fresh check of the Chinese fee table, not confirmed-current 2026/27 rates.
Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
No current intake-specific international-student application window was verified on the official Dali University pages reviewed as of 24 September 2026. The university's international office site (对外合作交流处 / 国际合作与交流处, https://www.dali.edu.cn/iecd/ and its older mirror https://www.dali.edu.cn/gjhz/) describes the 大理大学留学生教育服务中心 and its 留学生招生科 as the body responsible for recruiting all categories of international student, but a current readable admissions prospectus (招生简章), application window and initial submission channel were not recovered from the office pages; the reviewed 公告通知 entries concern outbound mobility and Confucius Institute items (the newest being a 2026 volunteer-teacher selection notice and a 2024 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship notice), and the university's main 通知公告 board (https://www.dali.edu.cn/news/tzgg/) reviewed entries concern procurement notices. No current self-funded, university-scholarship or CSC application window for a named Dali intake was established by this review. The prior official tuition-page transcription includes recurring autumn/spring cutoffs, but its source could not be re-read and those dates are not confirmed for a current cycle. The closest dated official document found is a sibling Yunnan institution's provincial-programme prospectus, 云南大学 2026 年云南省政府奖学金国际学生招生简章 (http://www.iep.ynu.edu.cn/__local/E/8E/CF/6C21B172684F77AC8D2F0188CAA_D4F0195A_4AAA0.pdf), which sets a 31 December 2025 Beijing-time deadline for the 2026 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship intake; this establishes that other university's dated award call; it is not a Dali University notice and cannot establish Dali's application window. A Dali 2025 Yunnan Provincial Government Scholarship prospectus (reporting a 30 May 2025 deadline) was found on non-official mirrors, but its official Dali original was not recovered, so it was rejected as evidence under the official-source rule. No official Dali 2027 intake notice or window was verified.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

University website — locate the current route noticeA complete university-specific procedure for this route has not been verified. The steps below are a preparation checklist; confirm the submission process in the official notice. The program notice decides whether CSC, the university system or both are required, and in which order.
- 1
Choose your program and intake
Check Dali 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 instructions - 2
Prepare your documents
Use 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.
- 3
Follow the portal order in the Type B notice
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 instructions - 4
Complete the required application systems
Use 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.
- 5
Track decisions and respond to requests
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.

Document checklist and upload instructions
Use the document list for your exact program. Prepare these common items, then add any scholarship-specific forms:
- Identity: passport information page and photograph. Copy your name, birth date and passport number exactly into each application.
- Education: diploma or official expected-graduation certificate, transcripts and any required degree authentication. Include the original language and certified translations where requested.
- Language: the required HSK, IELTS, TOEFL or accepted alternative. A medium-of-instruction letter replaces a test only if the program allows it.
- Academic materials: study plan or research proposal; graduate recommendation letters; supervisor or pre-admission letter when required. Some systems send referees a private submission link.
- Additional requirements: CSCA results for applicable undergraduate routes; portfolio for relevant arts programs; medical form, police clearance, financial guarantee or guardian documents when listed. Check validity periods before arranging time-sensitive documents.
Scan each complete document clearly. Use the file type and size limit shown beside its upload field; combine multi-page documents only where the system permits. Open every uploaded file to check legibility, page order, signatures and stamps. Keep a copy of everything you submit.
Application templatesHow to fill the university application
Follow the submission method in your programme's notice. The steps below apply when it requires an online form; email and paper applications follow their separate source-linked instructions above.
