Leave of Absence and return to school
Leave of Absence
- Freshmen can apply for a leave of absence a year after enrollment (excluding category C students)
- The period for one leave of absence application covers 2 semesters, and the total leave of absences cannot exceed 6 semesters.
- A student may apply for extension for the leave of absence only when the case is deemed inevitable due to diseases and other circumstances.
- Students who wish to apply for a general leave of absence should visit the School Affairs Support Team(학사지원팀) with their student ID during the application period (same as the registration period), and after should also visit the Office of International Affairs (Int’l Student Support) for visa-related guidance.
Returning to University
- To return to school after a leave of absence, students must visit School Affairs Team(학사지원팀) with their student ID during the registration and return application period.
- The student must enter Korea after obtaining a C-3-1 (some countries only) or D-2 visa.
- Visa change in Korea from another type of visa to D-2 is not possible, so students are required to leave the country again to obtain the D-2 visa after consulting Int’l Student Support.
- Students who wish to return to school must contact the Int’l Student Support until the beginning of February/August for visa consultation.
