Application fee

CNY 400 Nanjing Normal University publishes an application (registration) fee of CNY 400, stated verbatim as 报名费 400 元人民币 in the 南京师范大学2026年国际学生申请指南 (NNU 2026 International Student Application Guide, posted 28 November 2025), §四（二）item 6: 提交网上申请，需网上支付报名费 400 元人民币；报名费一经支付，一律不予退还，未支付报名费者申请无效 — a CNY 400 registration fee must be paid online to submit an application, it is never refunded once paid, and an application is invalid if the fee is unpaid. The figure is restated in the 2026年南京师范大学外国留学生本科生项目招生简章 (2026 NNU International Undergraduate Programme Admission Brochure, posted 28 November 2025), whose application-fee section reads 我校报名费为400元人民币，一经支付，一律不予退还. It is a one-off application/registration fee and not tuition: the same guide keeps it structurally separate from the self-funded fee table in §三 自费生费用, which gives one-academic-year fees of CNY 16,600 / 19,900 / 21,000 for bachelor's, CNY 18,200 / 22,000 / 27,000 for master's and CNY 24,000 / 30,000 / 33,000 for doctoral students by discipline band, plus insurance CNY 800 per academic year and accommodation CNY 3,500-6,000 per semester. Only the application fee is recorded in feeAmount.

Application timing and source scope

2026 intake, dated in official Nanjing Normal University notices on the Office of International Exchange site (gjc.njnu.edu.cn) and read on 17 September 2026 through the text-rendering proxy https://r.jina.ai/ because the site serves an anti-bot JavaScript shell to a direct request.

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.

  4. Upload the requested documents, review all fields and submit. Download the completed application form; sign and upload it to the university or dispatching-authority system when instructed.
