How to apply to Jiangsu Normal University

江苏师范大学

Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China

This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Jiangsu Normal University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.

Funding route on this profile

The profile includes CSC-related application guidance for Jiangsu Normal University. Type B participation, eligible programs, and deadlines must be confirmed in the current university call.

Application fee

CNY 400 regular routes; CNY 500 CSCA preparation Jiangsu Normal University charges an application fee of CNY 400 per submission. The undergraduate, postgraduate and language official 2026 admission brochures published on the International College site on 2026-03-26 state it identically: 申请费:人民币 400 元/次(缴纳后不予退还) / 'Application Fee: CNY 400 per time (non-refundable after payment).' The fee is therefore stated to be non-refundable, and it is charged per submission rather than per programme. One exception: the 2026 Fall CSCA Preparation Program brochure states a higher fee of CNY 500 per time, also non-refundable (报名费:500 元/次(缴费后不予退还) / 'Application Fee: CNY 500 (non-refundable once paid)'). The Chinese wording is the authoritative version throughout.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows

Application timing and source scope

Jiangsu Normal University publishes dated application windows in its own 2026 admission brochures, all posted on the International College site (international.jsnu.edu.cn) on 2026-03-26, covering the 2026 autumn intake. The 2026 undergraduate brochure (2026年江苏师范大学来华留学本科生招生简章) states the application period as April 1, 2026 – June 24, 2026, with a hard sub-deadline: applicants must upload their CSCA transcripts to the system before June 30, otherwise admission will not be granted. The 2026 postgraduate brochure (2026年江苏师范大学来华留学研究生招生简章) gives the longer window March 5, 2026 – June 24, 2026. Both are closed as of 2026-09-28, and the 2026 autumn term has begun — the International College news feed carries a 2026-09-24 item on the arrival and registration of the 2026 cohort. The Chinese Language Program (2026年秋季江苏师范大学汉语进修生招生简章) ran February 1, 2026 – July 5, 2026 with the note that applications close once all places are filled (招满即止); closed. The 2026 Fall CSCA Preparation Program (CSCA预科班) ran March 10, 2026 – July 5, 2026, also closing early if all spots are filled; closed. Applications are submitted through the university's own portal at https://jsnu.17gz.org/ or by QR code. No 2027 intake notice and no new dated window exists on international.jsnu.edu.cn as of 2026-09-28; the next window is therefore upcoming but undated. No dated CSC (Chinese Government Scholarship) deadline appears in any of the four 2026 brochures, which mention the CSC designation only in the university's description and not as a dated application round.

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.
