1. SICAS processing fee (Compulsory)
When you first apply through SICAS online admission system, SICAS will charge a processing fee of 50 USD. You can apply for up to 7 courses after the payment of this fee. The SICAS processing fee is collected for maintaining and updating SICAS online system as well as offering students’ supporting services.
2. University's application fee (Compulsory)
Based on the agreements between SICAS & China’s universities, SICAS does the collection of application fees for universities. You have to pay the application fee so that the university can process your application. The application fee of a Chinese university is usually between 60-120 USD depending on schools and types of courses. Since Chinese universities only accept payment in RMB, SICAS will help you convert the foreign exchange to the university.
3. SICAS Plus fee (Optional)
1. The cost of SICAS “Plus Service Package” is 3000USD. If you use this package, you can apply for SICAS Financial Aid Scholarship.
2. SICAS has offered SICAS “Plus Service Package”as a whole package for the last 10 years. According to our 10 years hands-on experience, it shows all these services are indivisible for a student's smooth stay and study in China. This means that whether or not you request it at the beginning, those services in the package are practically needed by any student when they landed in China. Therefore, SICAS strongly suggests that you and your parents purchase this package if you don't have financial difficulty.
At present, SICAS offers you six ways to pay those three kinds of fees. For more details please see Ways of Payment and Money Matters.
