Payment of Tuition
Newly admitted students wishing to enroll are required to pay an advance of RMB 3,500 towards annual tuition no later than April 15 to confirm their attendance. The advance will be credited towards tuition due for the Fall semester.
A bill for the Fall 2026 semester tuition will be emailed to new and returning students by July 13, 2026 and must be paid by August 14, 2026. A bill for the Spring 2027 semester tuition will be available by November 30, 2026 and must be paid by December 31, 2026. Payments must be made in RMB via wire transfer.
Financial holds will be placed on the records for students whose Tianjin Juilliard accounts show a past-due balance after the billing due date.

Refunds
A student whose tuition payments and scholarship exceed the amount due will receive a refund. Refunds are available during the eighth week of the fall semester and are generally available the eighth week of the spring semester. Refunds will not be issued until all funding has been received by Tianjin Juilliard and credited to the student’s account.
Leave of Absence and Withdrawals
If a student wishes to withdraw from the School, written notice must be given to the Dean. The official date of withdrawal will be the day the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs is notified or the last day of attendance in any educationally related activity (including participation in performances), whichever is later.
For withdrawals that occur after the semester has begun reimbursement may be required.
If written notice of withdrawal is received by the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs before the first day of classes of either semester, the student has no responsibility for the semester’s tuition or housing charges. Students who withdraw during either semester are liable for a portion up to 100 percent of that semester’s tuition and housing charges, depending on the date of withdrawal, as follows:
| Within the first week: | 10% |
| Within the second week: | 25% |
| Within the third week: | 50% |
| Within the fourth week: | 75% |
| After the fourth week: | 100% |
Please note that residence hall refunds for students who withdraw from the School will follow the guidelines set forth in the residence hall contract.
Should a student be dismissed, the same policy of tuition responsibility will apply.
