China Study Application Calendar 2026 for Students in Morocco

Missing one date can push you to the next intake. This calendar is a planning map for students in Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Fès and across Morocco — not a substitute for official CSC or university deadlines.

Now → 3 months before intake: research & documents

• Shortlist majors and CSC-eligible universities
• Renew passport if needed (valid well beyond travel)
• Start Bac/licence apostille and certified translations
• Book medical exam timing so certificates stay valid
• Bachelor applicants: create a CSCA account on csca.cn and pick a sitting that fits your CSC deadline

CSCA window (bachelor applicants)

Official embassy notices for 2026/2027 indicate bachelor applicants to many CSC-participating tracks must take CSCA before applying. Early global sittings included 21 December 2025 and 25 January 2026; from 2026, sessions are typically in January, March, April, June and December. Confirm required subjects with your target university.

CSC & university applications (winter–spring)

• Type A (embassy): follow the Chinese Embassy in Morocco notice for the exact deadline and agency number
• Type B (university): many programs close between December and April — some earlier than embassy Type A
• Upload pré-admission / admission materials as required
• Results for many CSC tracks are commonly released around July–August — verify each year

Summer: JW forms & X1 visa

After you receive the Admission Notice and JW201 (CSC) or JW202 (self-funded/partial), complete COVA, book the Morocco submission channel currently in force, and apply for X1 if your program is longer than 180 days.

Autumn: travel & residence permit

Arrive before registration. X1 holders typically must convert to a residence permit within about 30 days of entry — follow your university international office checklist.
