Application fee

CNY 800 Shenyang Normal University charges a registration fee (报名费) of CNY 800, stated in section 七、资费说明 (fee schedule) of its 2026 Self-Financed Undergraduate International Students Admission Brochure, published by the College of International Education on 25 November 2025 and reopened on 29 September 2026. The fee schedule lists the registration fee first at CNY 800, followed by insurance at CNY 800 per year, tuition at CNY 16,000 per year for science and CNY 15,000 per year for liberal arts, accommodation at CNY 6,000 for four months in a shared twin room excluding winter and summer vacations, a medical examination fee of CNY 493 per person (the brochure notes it '可能变化', may change), and visa fees of CNY 400 for under one year, CNY 800 for one to three years and CNY 1,000 for over three years (also noted as subject to change). The brochure states the registration fee as a flat figure and publishes no refundability statement, so no refundability claim can be made either way. The other three 2026 brochures (CSC High Level Postgraduate, International Chinese Language Teachers Scholarship and the CLT bachelor's guide) publish no fee, so the CNY 800 applies to self-financed undergraduate applicants.
