How to apply to Liaocheng University
聊城大学
Liaocheng, Shandong, China
This guide brings together the application routes, published timing, submission methods, scholarship steps, documents, and source links recorded for Liaocheng University. Requirements can differ by degree, program, teaching language, and funding route. The university’s current notice controls the application.
Application fee
The recorded application fee is CNY 300. Liaocheng University's 2026 International Student Programs prospectus (聊城大学二〇二六年国际学生项目), a 25-page PDF downloaded on 23 September 2026 from the School of International Education's own site at sie.lcu.edu.cn/docs/2025-11/20251101092926321947.pdf and parsed with pdftotext -layout, carries a Fees section headed 5. 缴费 with a table column 金额（人民币元）. It lists 申请费 (application fee) at 300 每生, separately from 注册费 (registration fee) at 500 每生, 学费 (tuition) at 6,500 - 12,000 每学期, on-campus accommodation at 3,000 - 4,500 每学期（不包括寒暑假）, comprehensive international student insurance at 1,000 每年, residence permit at 400 每年 and medical examination at 300 每生. Section 7 of the same prospectus confirms the sequence, instructing applicants to pay the application fee of 300 yuan online, or on arrival at Liaocheng University, in order to complete the application (在线支付申请费（300 元）或在到达聊城大学后缴纳，以便完成申请). The 300 is therefore the application fee; the 6,500-12,000 figure on the same table is per-semester tuition and is recorded elsewhere, not here.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Liaocheng University (聊城大学) publishes its international admissions through the School of International Education at sie.lcu.edu.cn, and its only complete prospectus for the current cycle is a PDF. The 聊城大学二〇二六年国际学生项目 (2026 International Student Programs), posted on the school's 招生简章 page and downloaded on 23 September 2026 from the university's own site (sie.lcu.edu.cn/docs/2025-11/20251101092926321947.pdf, 25 pages), sets out the application procedure but attaches no single universal closing date: it states that applications are made through the university's online platform, that candidates passing document review are invited to a comprehensive test or interview with the date and method notified in advance, and that outstanding applicants may be admitted directly without the test. The one dated, year-scoped cut-off the school publishes belongs to the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship: its page carries 聊城大学国际中文教师奖学金申请办法（2025年）, dated 2025-03-11, and that 2025 set of measures carries four Beijing-time deadlines — 15 April for July entry, 15 May for September entry, 15 September for December entry and 31 October for March 2026 entry. All four of those 2025 deadlines have passed, and no 2026 edition of that measure or 2027 intake notice was found in the reviewed sie.lcu.edu.cn listings as of 23 September 2026: that recorded 招生简章 board review identified the 2026 prospectus as its newest listed item. No dated Chinese Government Scholarship, Shandong Provincial Government Scholarship or university President's Scholarship cutoff was located in the reviewed school pages — its 奖学金 section lists only the International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship, and a direct request for a Chinese Government Scholarship page returns HTTP 404. Because the 2026 prospectus is dated and describes the current cycle but publishes no closing date, and the separately retained dated scholarship stages belong to the closed 2025 rounds, this window is recorded as typical and is an approximation for the 2026/2027 intake.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.

Create an account, complete the form and upload supporting documents; the brochure also permits email or designated institution submission. Pay the CNY 300 application fee online or after arrival. Document review normally leads to a comprehensive test or interview, with possible extra assessments; university-approved outstanding applicants may be exempt. Admission depends on academic and language evidence and assessment results. Applications stop at the end of May or November, or two months before the program; these recurring dates do not establish a new 2027 call. Use admission documents for the visa and register as instructed. The separately listed CNY 500 registration fee is not the application fee.
