What do I need?
- Application form, printed after you apply online and pay the fee; self-introduction on the school form; consent to check your academic record (school form, one for each foreign high school attended)
- High school graduation (or expected) certificate and transcript, with an apostille or consular confirmation. China: an apostille, or the reports of the Ministry of Education centres (chsi.com.cn and cdgdc.edu.cn)
- Transfers send the university enrolment or graduation (or expected) certificate and the university transcript in place of the high school papers; the rest of the list is the same
- Copies of your father's and mother's citizenship papers or passports; a copy of your passport; a certificate of the parent and child relationship issued by your government; a copy of your alien registration card if you live in Korea

THE BANK BALANCE IS 20,000,000 WON OR MORE, on a certificate issued within 30 days counted from the first day of online application, sent with the application papers.
If you hold an alien registration card and live in Korea: an original certificate from a bank in Korea in your own name. A minor may send a parent's certificate if the family relationship certificate proves the link.
For applicants abroad, the guide prints no rule on whose name the certificate must be in.
Completers of the Sahmyook Korean Language School may send a certificate of 10,000,000 won or more, with the original completion certificate and the transcripts and attendance certificates for every term.
The guide prints a separate rule for nationals of Uzbekistan: a bank balance certificate in your own name from KDB bank Uzbekistan, plus your birth certificate and proof of your parents' finances.
That proof, as printed: an employment certificate and pay record issued through my.gov.uz, business papers, a land and property register issued through my.gov.uz, a QR bank balance certificate and the like.
After admission you must send again an original bank certificate that meets the visa standard when you ask for the standard admission certificate, whatever you sent with the application.
Expected graduates must send the final graduation certificate and transcript, showing the last semester, after graduating and inside the extra filing period, or the admission may be cancelled.
If your name differs from one paper to another, add a paper proving you are the same person, issued by your government (page 17 says by a court of your country or the head of a diplomatic mission).
Write your own e-mail address and phone number on the application: the guide forbids an agency's or a language school's contact details.
Sign up on jinhakapply.com in your own name: the guide does not allow applying with a guardian's or anyone else's ID. Have a photo file ready (3 x 4 cm, jpg or gif).
Application fee 100,000 won (Music 150,000 won). No waiver is printed, and the fee is not refunded once you apply.
Tuition is the 2026 table and may change for 2027 entrants. It prints a higher figure for the first semester than for later semesters and gives no reason; the guide names no entrance fee anywhere.
A student association fee of 15,000 won is printed beside the tuition, the same for every major.
Paying from abroad, you may have to pay more because of the exchange rate.
Dormitory per semester, no meals (Spring 2027 basis; same as the dormitory office notice of 7 July 2026): single 2,358,000 won; double 1,304,000 (Peniel, Salem) or 1,070,000 (Zion, men); triple 889,000; four-person 725,000 (Eden, women).

From the official guide. The school decides what it accepts, not Waegook.
All requirements
- You and both parents are foreign nationals. A foreign nationality gained later counts only if you and both parents all gained it before you started the schooling equal to Korean high school
- Dual nationality with Korea is not accepted. If your parents are divorced, the nationality of the parent holding parental rights or custody is the one counted, with papers proving the divorce and custody
- FRESHMEN: all of the schooling equal to Korean elementary, middle and high school, completed in Korea or abroad. A school-leaving equivalency exam (검정고시), homeschooling and online schooling are NOT accepted
- TRANSFERS, year 2: 2 or more semesters completed at a junior college, or year 1 (2 semesters, seasonal terms not counted) at a four-year university with at least a quarter of the graduation credits
- TRANSFERS, year 3: 4 or more junior college semesters, or year 2 (4 semesters) at a four-year university. Year 4: graduation from a three-year junior college, or year 3 (6 semesters) at a four-year university
- KOREAN TRACK, one of four routes: level 3 or higher completed at a Korean university's language institute; TOPIK or TOPIK IBT level 3; the matching stage of the integration program KIIP (사회통합프로그램); or a pass in the school's own SU-TOPIK
- The level differs by major: level 2 for Physical Education, Art and Design and Music; level 4 for Counseling Psychology; level 5 for Nursing, Physical Therapy and Early Childhood Education; level 3 for every other Korean-track major
- KIIP stages as printed: TOPIK 1 equals stage 2, TOPIK 2 stage 3, TOPIK 3 stage 4, and TOPIK 4 to 6 stage 5
- SU-TOPIK is a remote speaking test, 50,000 won, booked on ipsi.syu.ac.kr (notice board, foreigner menu). First test: apply 22 to 28 October 2026, test 1 November. Second test: apply 3 to 9 December 2026, test 13 December
- The two SU-TOPIK tests are numbered on their own, and the guide does not say which admission round each one serves. The first test day (1 November) falls inside admission round 2 and the second (13 December) inside round 3
- If you did all of grades 10 to 12 at a high school in Korea and graduated there, you can apply without a Korean certificate. An applicant with no Korean test score must pass the interview
- Korean-track students must reach TOPIK 4 (TOPIK 3 in the arts and physical education majors) before graduating
- Selection: documents 90% and an interview 10% (Music: documents 90% and a practical test 10%)
- The interview is within 10 minutes, in Korean on the Korean track and in English on the English track. Each department sends its own time, which may move if many apply. Missing it is a fail; bring your passport or alien registration card
- Nursing, Physical Therapy and the AI Convergence division take freshmen and transfers only for the March semester. On the Korean track, Global Liberal Studies takes freshmen only and Early Childhood Education takes up to 4
- The guide prints no list of closed majors: a major that is not in its tables is not offered on this track. Pharmacy is not in the recruiting tables
- SPRING 2027 GUIDE (file dated 28 September 2026; Korean prevails). Round 1 ran 29 September to 7 October 2026; round 2 runs 20 October to 11 November; round 3 runs 8 to 29 December. The semester start date is not printed
