Before Your Departure

HALLYM UNIVERSITY

Before your departure:

During the application process, incoming exchange students are asked to choose their courses at Hallym University based on the previous year's course list.

Students must choose between 12-18 credits to study at Hallym. You must study at least 12 credits, to be classed as a 'full time student' in keeping with Korean immigration rules. From this list of courses, Hallym Global Engagement Center will place you into the relevant school or department. You will then be emailed the most up to date course list as it is released 4-6 weeks before the start of the academic semester. You will then have one week to choose and email your selected courses for your upcoming exchange period. They will then be booked for you, wherever possible.

Please note the following information about course selection:

*Some courses may change, or be dropped. Some courses may also clash with other classes you have chosen*    You will be given the opportunity to change classes (where seats are available), during your first week at Hallym. It is highly recommended that any course changes are kept to a minimum after your arrival during the 'add drop' course period as this is a very short period, often students need permission to change classes from their home international office and things such as credit transfer and potential home university scholarship payment can be affected. 


During the application process you will also be asked to select an on campus housing choice for your exchange period. 


Please refer to the    accommodation section    of the website for more information about on campus accommodation options.


Students must  email   their  complete scanned  incoming exchange application to Hallym, within the time frame indicated. Based on nationality you may then also be asked to post oritinal documents to Hallym to allow Hallym to process your application with Korean Immigration. Once successfully processed Hallym will email each student their 'Certificate of Admission' and Hallym Business Certificate  (original copies can also be posted if your specific Korean Embassy requires it)Students must then take these documents (and any other documents the Korean Embassy in your home country requests) to finalize your student VISA. Please note that you have not been formally granted your student VISA until the Korean Embassy in your home country approves it.  


Once incoming exchange students receive their VISA they are then asked to inform Hallym Global Engagement Center of their arrival date in Korea, following any guidance given by Global Engagement Center.

It is also a good idea to do some research on Korea, its culture and customs before your arrival. This will help to minimize any 'Culture Shock' that you may feel. Please also feel free to reach out to Hallym International Coordinators for help as you prepare for your exchange period in your home country!
