Academic Information

1. Grade

Grades are determined based on the scores of final examinations, class participation and assignments.

  • (1)The Breakdown of the Grade per Language Skill
  • 영역별 비율

    20% 30% 20% 30% 100%
  • (2)Grades
  • 학점

    90~100 80~89 70~79 60~69 Failure Failure on Attendance

2. Attendance

  • (1)Classes begin at the top of the hour, and tardies and absences are strictly monitored. Six tardies and four hours of absences each result in a day of absence.
  • (2)Leaving classes early due to regular religious services will not be counted towards the number of hours of instruction required for completion of programs.
  • (3)Students who are absent due to credited undergraduate and graduate classes at SNU must submit a certificate of attendance in order for the absence not to be counted towards the number of hours of instruction required for completion of programs.
  • (4)Students who are absent due to official ceremonies and/or events must submit proof of attendance in order for the absence not to be counted towards the number of hours of instruction required for completion of programs.

Students who are absent due to the above reasons are ineligible for a certificate of perfect attendance.

3. Level Completion, Course Completion, and Honors

  • (1)Students must attend at least 80% of the total class hours and receive an average grade of at least 60% to complete a level.
  • (2)Students who complete the program are awarded a certificate of course completion for the corresponding level.
  • (3)Students who receive an average grade of 90% or higher are given the award of excellence.
  • (4)Students without a record of tardiness and absences are given the award of perfect attendance.
  • (5)Students who are recognized for their contribution to the prestige of the Language Education Institute are presented with a special award.

4. Failure and Re-registration

  • (1)Students whose average grade is below 60%(Failure (F)) or attendance rate is 70% or above, but below 80%(Failure on Attendance (FA)) may not complete the level in question and will only receive a transcript.
  • (2)Students who are suspected of enrolling in a course for purposes other than to study Korean, or those who disrupt the class atmosphere cannot re-register.

5. Credit Transfer

  • Credits cannot be transferred from the Language Educational Center to regular, credit-based SNU courses, but they may be transferred to most universities outside of Korea (students will need to contact their respective schools in advance for verification whether credits can be transferred from the KLCP to the corresponding university). A course in one session is equivalent to a 3-credit unit course of a regular academic program. Upon request, the KLCP will issue an official transcript to any organization designated by the student.

6. Miscellaneous Matters

  • (1)According to the Administration Law of Immigration (Article 19.4), students, who are absent for more than 10 days without prior notice, will have to be reported to the Immigration Bureau, and their registration will be cancelled from that point on.
  • (2)The KLEC may cancel the registration of students who misbehave or disturb the class environment or other students at any time.
