Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Hebei University publishes its 2026 intake through the College of International Exchange and Education (ciee.hbu.edu.cn). The 2026 HBU Admissions Guide for International Applicants, published 12 January 2026 on the college's 招生简章 page as a PDF attachment (and issued alongside its Chinese counterpart 2026河北大学国际学生招生简章, same date), states the application period as 1 January to 31 May and requires the China Scholastic Competency Assessment (CSCA) for undergraduate applicants; that 2026/2027 window has now closed as of 17 September 2026. The guide states that HBU emails applicants once an application is approved within five days, and that the related colleges organise interviews for master's and doctoral applicants. The separate 2026 International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship application measures (河北大学2026国际中文教师奖学金申请办法), published 2 March 2026, is the other dated document for this cycle. For the Chinese Government Scholarship the guide gives the accepting organisation, the agency number and the campuschina.org portal, but publishes no CSC-specific deadline of its own. As of 17 September 2026 no 2027/2028 admissions guide has been posted; the most recent documents on the 招生简章 page remain the 12 January 2026 and 2 March 2026 items.
