Application fee
CNY 600 Nantong University charges an application fee of CNY 600. Its Admission Guide for International Applicants NTU 2026 carries a fee table (section V. Fees) with a dedicated 申请费 / Application Fee column reading 600 for every degree level, and states beneath the table, in both languages: 'The application fee of 600 RMB is non-refundable once paid' and 备注：申请费600元人民币一经支付，一律不予退还. The fee is therefore stated to be non-refundable. The Chinese original wording (申请费600元人民币一经支付，一律不予退还) is the authoritative version and the English column is the guide's own translation.

Published dates and unconfirmed windows
Application timing and source scope
Nantong University publishes dated application windows inside its own 2026 admission guide. The Admission Guide for International Applicants NTU 2026, posted on the School of International Education site (sie.ntu.edu.cn) on 2026-04-02 with the PDF dated 2026-04-01, states the application window as 申请时间：1月1日-6月30日 / Application Time: Jan 1st -- Jun 30th. That window is for the 2026 intake and has closed as of 2026-09-28; the guide gives no academic year label beyond the 2026 document year. The guide separately dates the Chinese Government Scholarship (中国政府奖学金) round as 申请时间：11月-次年3月, i.e. November to the following March, published as a full scholarship — for the 2026 round this ran to March 2026 and has closed. The Nantong University Scholarship (南通大学奖学金) is dated 申请时间：1月-6月 / Application Time: January - June, which also closed at the end of June 2026. The guide also requires that postgraduate applicants attend online or offline interviews organised by the academic schools after passing preliminary document review, and that qualified applicants pay fees as required by the provisional admission letter before receiving the Admission Notice and JW202 form. No 2027 intake notice and no new dated window exists on sie.ntu.edu.cn as of 2026-09-28: the site's news feed (queried through its own API) most recent items are 2026-04-24, 2026-02-16 and 2026-01-04, and the homepage window API points only to the application portal. The next window is therefore upcoming but undated.
Guide scope reviewed 3 October 2026. Dates apply only to the intake and route named in each notice.
