Attendance, expulsion and leave

출결·제적·휴학

  1. 1

    Attendance

    Classes last 15 weeks. Four or more absences in a course result in an F. Be on time and attend every class.

  2. 2

    Expulsion

    You can be dismissed for missing the registration deadline, not returning after a leave of absence, more than one month of unexcused absence, or enrolling at another university.

  3. 3

    Leave of absence

    Students on leave must leave Korea within one month, whatever the visa says. Overstaying or working illegally leads to fines, visa cancellation and trouble re-enrolling.

Take note

Online lectures have a fixed access period

If you finish after the deadline you are marked absent. You can fail an online course. Missing an LMS announcement is not accepted as an excuse, so check the LMS at least once a day.

    Joining live classes

    Live sessions link through Zoom, Teams or the LMS. Join a few minutes early with camera and microphone ready.

  2. 2

    Submitting assignments

    Submit through the LMS before the deadline. Keep a screenshot or the confirmation email.

  3. 3

    Checking attendance

    The system records your login time. Check your attendance status often so errors can be fixed early.

Campus rules

학교 생활 규정

  1. 1

    Your responsibilities

    Attend classes, hand in work on time, respect campus rules and keep your personal information up to date with the university.

  2. 2

    In the classroom

    Arrive on time, keep your phone on silent, do not talk during class, and ask before leaving for the restroom.

  3. 3

    Cheating and plagiarism

    Academic dishonesty can mean a failing grade, suspension or expulsion, and it can affect your visa.

  4. 4

    Writing to professors

    Use official email or LMS messages. Be polite and clear, allow time for a reply, and keep records of important exchanges.

  5. 5

    Campus conduct

    Respect university property, other students and staff. Harassment or disrupting classes is taken seriously.

Take note

No smoking anywhere on campus

Smoke outside the campus before you enter. Smoking on campus leads to disciplinary action, and two violations make you ineligible for next semester's scholarship.
