Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Hexi University describes its 2026 intake in the International Student Enrollment Brochure (来华留学生招生简章(2026年)), issued 25 May 2026 by the Office of Foreign Exchange and Cooperation. The brochure sets enrolment for the 2026 intake in September 2026 and offers 15 places (5 degree-seeking undergraduates and 10 non-degree Chinese language students), but names no calendar cut-off date for filing - it instructs applicants to submit materials to the office, which then issues the Admission Notice and JW202 form. The recorded brochure and notice-board review did not establish a dated application deadline or a 2026/2027 Chinese Government Scholarship, Gansu Silk Road or university-scholarship application window. The brochure does not establish rolling acceptance or an application opening or closing date. Its September 2026 enrolment schedule does not independently prove the application window closed. No 2027 brochure had been located when this profile was checked; confirm the current submission period with the university.

Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

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.
