CNY 650 The application fee is CNY 650 per application. It is stated as 报名费：650元/次（报名费可通过申请系统支付。不论录取与否，该费用概不退还） — an application fee of CNY 650 per time, payable through the application system, non-refundable whether or not the applicant is admitted — in the 费用标准 (Fee Standards) section of the university's own 2026-2027 international student prospectuses and repeated in the standing 费用标准 page at apply.international.suda.edu.cn. The same CNY 650 figure appears in the 2026-2027 master's, doctoral and undergraduate prospectuses and in the older 2025-2026 cycle, so it is the current published figure. This is the one-off 报名费 only and is not tuition, which is recorded separately under tuition (CNY 9,000-25,000 per semester depending on level and subject). Accommodation (CNY 600-900 per person per month) and insurance (CNY 1,000 per person per year) are separate charges and are not part of the application fee.
