What do I need?
- Application printed from studyinkorea.go.kr with the blanks completed in ballpoint pen; self-introduction and study plan (Form 1-1) typed in Korean
- Passport copy valid a year or more; alien registration card copy if you live in Korea
- High school graduation certificate and transcript (transfers add the college certificate and transcript; Type B adds primary and middle school certificates), apostilled or consular-confirmed; China: CHSI report

THE BANK BALANCE IS 16,000,000 WON OR MORE (the English guide adds "approximately USD 12,000"), in your name or one parent's with that parent's employment and income (or business and tax) papers, filed WITH the application. A new one is needed for the visa.
Financial papers issued within 30 days (of the application start on one page, of submission on another); a printed validity counts up to 3 months from issue. Base date and issue date must match. No internet printouts.
Residents of Korea use a Korean commercial bank. Uzbekistan: a local KDB Bank statement, the amount kept until admission, then that account's transaction history.
Expected graduates must graduate before the semester starts and file the final certificate and transcript, apostilled or consular-confirmed, by the set date (Fall 2026: 21 August, 17:00), or admission is cancelled.
No application fee. No undergraduate entrance fee is printed. Dormitory: Sejong Hall 1, Daeyeon campus, two-person room, about 2,400,000 won for six months with three meals a day (as of March 2026); the office applies for your first semester.
The dormitory booking cannot be cancelled once made, and move-in needs a health check including a TB test.
Refunds: full before the semester; five sixths within 30 days; two thirds to 60 days; half to 90 days; nothing after. To give up admission, ask for the refund a week before classes start.
