I. Basic Requirements for Transfer Candidates of 2026

The following content is excerpted from the Administrative Provisions on the National Master's Student Enrollment Work in 2026.

The preliminary examination scores of transfer candidates shall reach the national score line of the first-choice major in the receiving region and meet the admission requirements of the receiving major. In principle, the candidate's first-choice major shall be the same as or similar to the receiving major, or the preliminary examination subjects shall be the same as or similar to those of the receiving major.

Article 60 Candidates who first apply for the following majors (or special programs) shall abide by relevant transfer requirements.

(1) If candidates transfer between preferential majors and non-preferential majors, their preliminary examination scores shall all meet the national score line for non-preferential majors under the discipline category of their first-choice major in the receiving region.

Candidates transferring among engineering preferential majors or among education preferential majors shall comply with the national score line for such preferential majors.

(2) Candidates applying for the seven professional degrees including Business Administration, Public Administration, Accounting, Tourism Management, Library and Information Science, Engineering Management and Auditing may apply for mutual transfer on the premise that they meet the admission requirements of the receiving major and their preliminary examination scores simultaneously reach the national score lines of both the original major and the receiving major in the receiving region, but they shall not transfer to other majors; candidates applying for other majors shall not transfer to these seven professional degrees.

(3) Candidates applying for the Program for Retired College Student Soldiers who apply to transfer to the general program shall have their preliminary examination scores reach the national score line of the discipline category to which the relevant major in the receiving region belongs. Eligible candidates may enjoy the bonus point policy for preliminary examination of retired college student soldiers in accordance with regulations.

Candidates under the general program who meet the application requirements of the Program for Retired College Student Soldiers may apply to transfer to this special program, and their preliminary examination scores shall meet the preliminary score requirements set by the relevant enrollment institutions for accepting transfer candidates of the Program for Retired College Student Soldiers. For transfers between the Program for Retired College Student Soldiers and the general program, enrollment institutions shall strictly organize transfers in accordance with transfer procedures and requirements, and shall not directly change candidates' volunteers or adjust program types for re-examination and admission.

(4) Each enrollment institution independently determines and announces the score requirements for accepting transfer applications of clinical medicine professional degree candidates from other institutions. The Ministry of Education sets the basic score requirements for the preliminary examination of clinical medicine professional degrees as the basic score standard for candidates applying for clinical medicine professional degrees to transfer to other disciplines and majors.

Candidates applying for clinical medicine professional degrees may transfer to other disciplines and majors in accordance with relevant policies, while candidates applying for other disciplines and majors (including academic degrees in medicine) shall not transfer to clinical medicine professional degrees.

(5) Candidates other than those applying for Juris Master (Non-Law) shall not transfer to Juris Master (Non-Law).

(6) Candidates applying for the High-level Backbone Talent Program for Ethnic Minorities shall not transfer outside this special program; those who have not applied for this program shall not transfer into it.

(7) Candidates participating in separate examinations (including the Military Reinforcement Program and Tibet Support Program) are not eligible for transfer.

II. Transfer Intention Collection System and Transfer Service System

After confirming that they meet the transfer qualifications and have the transfer intention, candidates need to operate through the transfer-related systems on China Graduate Admission Information Network. There are two essentially different systems here: the Transfer Intention Collection System and the Transfer Service System.

【Difference 1】

The opening time is different. The Transfer Intention Collection System opens earlier than the Transfer Service System. Within 24 hours after the Transfer Service System is opened, candidates may convert their transfer intentions into transfer volunteers in the Transfer Service System on the premise of meeting relevant conditions. The function of converting intentions to transfer volunteers will be closed 24 hours after the Transfer Service System opens.

【Difference 2】

Up to 10 parallel transfer intentions can be submitted in the Transfer Intention Collection System, while a maximum of 3 transfer volunteers can be submitted in the Transfer Service System. Candidates can convert at most 3 transfer intentions into transfer volunteers.
