If your supervising professor is your guarantor, the bank certificate can be left out; if the professor pays part, show a certificate for the rest. The sponsor form budgets a year at 16,000,000 won (tuition 4,000,000, living 10,000,000, other 2,000,000).
No application fee ("전형료 없음(무료)").
ENTRANCE FEE 180,000 WON, ONCE, on top of the first semester's tuition (2026 rate; the school tuition page charges it in year 1 only).
Tuition is paid 21 December 2026, 09:00, to 23 December, 16:00, at NongHyup (농협) branches; print the bill on the school website. A registration can be cancelled with a refund before the semester starts.
Admission letter by e-mail after tuition. Apply for the visa yourself at the Korean embassy or consulate, tell the office the result and hold the visa by 26 February 2027, or the admission is cancelled.
Already in Korea: change your status or course before classes (status change fee 130,000 won, extension 60,000 won, as printed). Applicants from two printed lists show a 16,000,000 won balance in a Korean account in their name, issued within 30 days.
Those two lists, whole, as printed: 법무부 장관 고시 불법체류 다수 발생 국가: 가나, 나이지리아, 네팔, 미얀마, 방글라데시, 베트남, 몽골, 스리랑카, 우즈베키스탄, 우크라이나, 이란, 이집트, 인도, 인도네시아, 중국, 카자흐스탄, 태국, 파키스탄, 페루, 필리핀. 유학생 중점 관리 국가: 기니, 말리, 에티오피아, 우간다, 카메룬.
