ii.Application Procedures
Step 1: Fill out Application Form for Foreigners Wishing to Study at CUN, which can be downloaded from http://cie.cun.edu.cn and send it to the E-mail address for application (listed below), or mail it directly to the International Students Office of College of International Education at CUN.
Step 2: In at most two weeks after receiving the application and relative materials, the International Students Office will send the admitted applicant a CUN Admission Notice, a Visa Application Form (JW202 for self-supporting students, or JW201 for Chinese government scholarship students), and a Physical Examination Report for Foreigner (the physical examination is needed if the duration of study in China is more than 6 months; it can be taken in one’s own country or in China after arrival). 
Step 3: After receiving the CUN Admission Notice, and the Visa Application Form (JW202 for self-supporting students, or JW201 for Chinese government scholarship students), the admitted student shall then apply to the Chinese Embassy (or Consulate) in his or her own country for X visa (student visa), or F visa (visit visa) if the duration of study is less than 6 months.
Step 4: The admitted student must bring the CUN Admission Notice and the Visa Application Form (JW202 for self-supporting students, or JW201 for Chinese government scholarship students) and register at the International Students Office at the Central University for Nationalities during the registration time specified on the CUN Admission Notice. Students who do not register during the specified period will lose their student status. Exception can be made for those who have informed the school of their special reasons for not registering on time, and whose delay has been approved by the International Students Office in advance.
