} Greetings from the Dean
Seoul National University is emerging as one of
the most excellent institutions of higher education
in the world. As such, it aims to become one of the
world’s top ten universities by the year 2025. SNU has
already expanded its role in serving the international
community, which is evident in the fact that there
are more than 2,000 international students at the
university currently. Gwanak Residence Halls accomodate around 5,000
students and amongst them are 1,000 international students who hail from
more than 90 different nations. Gwanak Residence Halls plan to increase
its capacity continuously.
The current quality of services offered to international students is
inadequate to meet the demands fully. The information was compiled and
provided in perspective of the provider, instead of the recepient. Also, it
was inorganized and lacked congruety because it was sporadically scattered
at too many different institutions. This led to international students’
struggle with both the lack of indispensable and overload of unnecessary
information. Motivated by the desire to aid these international students
and contribute towards the globalization of SNU, Gwanak Residence Halls
have initiated a project that resulted in the publication of SNU Compass.
This is a guidebook compiling tips, advices, and information that will better
serve the international community within SNU. It is our hope that SNU
Compass will serve as a useful compass that can provide you with directions
whenever you are lost or overwhelmed by unfamiliar life at Seoul.
In the beginning of each semester, Gwanak Residence Halls hold a
‘Conversation with the Dean’ to actively seek out the diverse concerns and
opinions of its international student body. This voice of the students is, in
18
preface
turn, incorporated in developing any future plans or reforms. In fact, the
idea for SNU Compass also comes from one of these ‘Conversation with
the Dean’ program. SNU Compass covers all information required for a
successful and safe study-abroad at Korea. The information ranges from
what to prepare before arrival at Incheon International airport to how to
achieve academic success and safely enjoy the campus life during the stay
here. I believe that SNU Compass will serve as a valuable resource that helps
enhance international service of Seoul National University.
We at Gwanak Residence Halls hope that SNU Compass will become
a useful guide for SNU as it strives to provide a better environment
for international students. Furthermore, we hope that it can serve as a
cornerstone in establishing a more meaningful interaction and exchange
between Korean and International students in all settings. Gwanak
Residence Halls will continuously improve this guidebook in our ceaseless
effort to pioneer a global education.
I would like to acknowledge all those who helped make this project
possible. Resident Director Byungdoo Kim planned and coordinated this
guidebook. International Resident Adviser Ellian Eunjae Liche led the
Gwanaksa International Student Ambassadors (GISAs) in publishing this
guidebook. The GISAs who participated are Daniel John Park, Melanie
Abbott, Kristina Gelushka, Eszter Palocz, Joanne Han, Cheng Bin Yu,
Hyo Jin Jeong, Anjali Singh, Sepidehsadat Hosseini, Asma Madina Diallo,
Danny Mallick, Rahman MD Ashik, Irfan Haider, Alex Jin, Thu Ngan
Nguyen, Sithiphone Sithoumphaalath, Nina Taupier, Fatma Betul Yalcin.
Eighteen GISAs, from diverse countries, contributed greatly with their
enthusiasm and dedication. Numerous others participated in the making
of this book, and helped with design, illustrations, pictures, and graphics. I
thank them all for their work.

campus facilities. Compared to off-campus residence options, dormitory
is inexpensive and affordable. The security deposit is only
100,000 for
undergraduate dormitories and the rent fee of one month (varies depending
on room type) for graduate dormitories. The rent is paid per semester for
undergraduate dormitories and per month for graduate dormitories. Please
refer to section e of this chapter for exact prices. The application period is in
early December for those coming in for spring semester and early July for
those coming in for fall semester.

2. Telephone bills are managed by Seoul National University’s campus
electronic system. A bill will be sent to you according to the information
sent by the BK International House.
3. Gas Supply is managed by the gas company and is not BK’s responsibility.
Thus, residents are responsible for checking their gas meter and paying
their own gas bill. The meter is located on the balcony and must be checked
by the 30th of each month. The number showing on the meter in white
with a black background must be recorded on the yellow sticker posted on

Types of Personal Housing:
5 Studio “One-rooms”
5 Goshiwon

A studio apartment (aka “one-room” or “office-tel” in Korean) is a fullyfurnished, single room apartment with a toilet/shower and kitchen. It is
50
chapter 1
usually equipped with air-conditioning and heating, a desk, wardrobe,
mini fridge, induction stove, washing-machine and depending on the
house, a microwave. The monthly rent tends to range from
300,000 to
600,000 per month. However, there is a significant deposit to be paid
so studio apartments are recommended for those who plan to stay for at
least 6 months in Korea. The deposit can be anywhere from
up to
2,000,000
10,000,000. You will always get the deposit back when you leave
as long as you have kept the place in reasonable condition. If not, the
damage will be deducted from you deposit. Usually, residents will have
to pay a monthly management fee, water, gas and electricity bills, though
some studio apartment rents are inclusive of these fees. Landlords are
usually willing to reduce your monthly rent if you increase your deposit.
•Goshiwon:
Goshiwon is a very small room rented monthly by students or workers.
Goshiwon rooms are very basic and small but the rent is very cheap.
Goshiwon life is very similar to dormitory lifestyle. Everybody has their
own room and the bathroom and kitchen are shared. Rooms are usually
facilitated with wireless internet, a bed, a desk, and depending on the
house, a TV. Residents are typically not allowed to bring friends or be
very loud. Nearly every goshiwon has a kitchen with basic appliances, free
rice, kimchi, seaweed and if you are lucky, free noodles as well. The rent
ranges anywhere from
200,000 to
600,000.
•Boarding House:
In a typical Korean boarding house (aka “Hasukjib” in Korean), rooms are
private and small but the kitchen and bathrooms are shared – much like
goshiwons. The main difference between the two is that boarding houses
provide residents with two meals a day. Usually the Korean landlady or
51
caretaker lady lives in the same building or nearby and cooks two meals
a day, usually breakfast and dinner. Some places even do your laundry
for you. The rent, including meals, ranges anywhere from
500,000 to
800,000.

Tips when finding personal housing
Personal housing can be found through real estate agents or by personally
searching for posters, by going to the neighborhoods above. Students may
opt to use the school portal (www.snulife.com) to find housing information.
Many students, asked by their landlord, post housing advertisements and
reviews online. This way, students can cut down on real estate agent fees.
Once you have found a list of potential houses, it is advised that you go and
check them out. Be sure to check for extra fees, sound blockage (thin walls)
and strong water pressure.

Exchange rates for main currencies

$

CN¥
¥
1038 USD
1434 EUR
166 RMB
99 JPY
There are several ways to exchange currency before and after leaving your
home country. The cost and benefits for each will depend on your personal
circumstance.
The most obvious is exchanging your national currency for South Korean
won at a local bank in your home country. Most likely, you can also do
this at the airport before you leave. Different banks and airports will have
different fees for exchanging the currency, so please check on your own.
While in Korea, you can also trade currency at the airport for a low fee.
There are also many global ATMs (including several on campus!) that will
allow you to take out money from your bank account in your home country,
usually with a transaction fee of
3,000-4,000. In addition, many ATMs
(global or otherwise) allow you to deposit money into your Korean bank
account (see chapter 8 for more) directly from the ATM.
For reference, the price of an inexpensive meal at a restaurant rages
between
5,000-8,000, while a three-course meal for two in a mid-range
restaurant will cost around
25,000-45,000. A combo meal in McDonald’s
or similar fast food restaurants costs
5,500-7,000.
3) Vaccination
Before you leave your country, it is wise to get a medical health checkup
71
(which you already may have to do if you are going to live in the dormitory) before
you leave. While visiting your doctor, you should him or her that you are
going to South Korea for a significant amount of time. At that time, the
doctor will likely want to give you a vaccination for Hepatitis B, a test for
tuberculosis/TB (which the dormitory will require you to get anyway if you choose
to stay at one) and possibly other things.
Warning: If you are behind on any vaccines, your doctor may take this
chance to catch you up on other shots, which may mean you get poked in
the arm several times.
4) Unlocking your phone (Optional, but will help for a while)
If you want to use the phone you use in your home country while in Korea
you should unlock it before coming here. However, you can still use any
device that can connect to Wi-Fi whether it is locked or not, given you
have Wi-Fi access. For example, if you bring an un-locked phone, you can
still use applications like kakao talk and the internet through Wi-Fi, but
you cannot make calls or texts.
Kakao Talk is available on all platforms of smartphones
and PC. It is used by practically all Korean people. It is
an application that allows you to message and even to call
your friends for free when you have access to Wi-Fi. It is
also a great way to stay in touch with people from your
home country if you can get them to install it!

At Seoul National University, course registration is done online using your
student ID number. Registration time depends on the last digit of your ID
number. Make sure to check whether the last digit of your student ID is

2. Getting a Phone in Korea
There are three mobile telecommunications service providers in Korea: KT,
SKT, and LGT. As Korea runs its mobile network on CDMA, not GSM, it
is pointless to try to use your unlocked mobile device in Korea.
Mobile phone subscriptions require proper identification and proof of
residency. Usually, a valid passport and an alien registration card suffice as
documents for review by the service providers. The Status of Stay, shown on
every alien registration card, determines the eligibility for subscription to
either a pre- or post-payment plan. 1) Short-term Plan
If you only need a phone temporarily, LG Telecom does provide a pay and
talk program for foreigners. This plan is only be valid for 90 days and if the
purchaser does not provide an ARC (Alien Registration Card) by the end of
that time the phone will be disconnected. This option is geared for those
who are traveling to Korea without a plan to long-term.
2) Purchase a Brand-new Phone (Monthly Contract Plan)
If you are going to be in South Korea for two years or more, getting
a mobile phone on a contract may be the best option. It is the most
economical choice in the long run and offers the best choice of cell phones,
as signing a contract of continual use can enable you to get good phones for
DAY 1 Settling in
113
free or relatively cheaper. The monthly costs vary with usage, but this may
be the best option for those planning to use their phone on a regular basis.
Requirements
5 Alien Resident Card (ARC) (which usually takes 3- 6 weeks to receive after
arrival)
5 Domestic Bank account under your name
5 It’s advisable to bring a Korean friend or colleague with you while signing
the contract as otherwise; you may not be fully informed about all the
details of the contract due to the language barrier.
Prepaid Plan (Offline Purchase):
If you will be staying in Korea for less than two years or do not plan on
using your phone as much, you can register for a pre-paid plan with mobile
telecommunications services. To use this service, you will first need to
acquire a mobile phone. If you live in or around Seoul, Yongsan (Strongly
recommended to go with a Korean friend!) Digital Complex is a good place to
find a good phone for cheap. You can also purchase new or second-hand
phones along with prepaid SIM cards on campus at the stationary store on
the second floor of the Student Center (bldg. 63).
Users must purchase credits in advance to pay for mobile phone services.
Credits come in a prepaid phone card (available in amounts of
30,000, and
10,000,
50,000), which is issued by a service provider after screening
the customers. Users must purchase a new card once the old card has
been maxed out or expired. All mobile phone service providers offer voice
services and SMS to pre-paid SIM users; KT offers additional services of
MMS and data usage.

You can also purchase second-hand phones online and then register for a
prepaid plan.
•There are some well-known online markets and communities for

Off-campus shuttle buses run from 7:00AM to 6:30PM every Mon.-Fri.
throughout the semester. Separate time schedules assigned for Summer/
Winter Sessions are announced at those times.
Students can opt to get around on the on-campus circulation shuttle bus.
Many students take this shuttle after arriving at the main gate by city bus or
airplane limousine bus.

chapter 6
•There are two on-campus routes:
- The main route circulates the campus counterclockwise. This route
includes 18 bus stops starting from the main gate of SNU and ending
at the College of Business Administration (bldg. 58). This shuttle bus
runs at 5 minute intervals from 8:00AM to 7:00PM and at 15 minute
intervals from 7:00PM to 9:00PM throughout the semester. During
summer/winter breaks, bus operations end an hour earlier.
- The second route is shorter. It leaves from the Engineering Building
(bldg. 301 and 302), and follows the same route clockwise. Unlike the
other on-campus shuttle bus, this bus also stops at the dormitories and
the Hoam Faculty House near the campus hind gate. This bus runs at
30 minute intervals from 10:00AM~3:00PM and 4:00PM~6:00PM
throughout the school semester only. For more details about the route,
please refer to the following website: www.snu.ac.kr/campus/Gwanak/
campus_shuttles.
4) Library Shuttle Bus
Library shuttle buses are night buses for students who study at the Central
123
Library until late at night. These buses take students from campus to either
the subway station or Shillim-dong.
SNU operates night-time shuttle buses for students studying in the
library until late. You can take the bus right in front of the Administration
Building (bldg. 60) from 9:10PM to 11:10PM, every 30 minutes. The bus
stop for the Library Shuttle is located above that of the Off-Campus
Shuttles, closer to the central library. From 9:10PM to 10:10PM, students
can board the Library Shuttle in three lines: the left line (looking down
from the Central Library) heads for Sillim-dong, the right line goes to SNU
subway station line 2, and the middle line goes to SNU subway station line
2 via Sillim-dong. From 10:40PM and 11:10PM, four buses are provided
to accommodate more students. The two on the left side head for Shillimdong, and the other two on the right side go straight to SNU subway
station line 2.
There are shuttle buses equipped with wheelchair lifting devices for
handicapped students. These buses are specially provided to aid physically
challenged and/or blind students for better mobility.
SNU provides special free shuttle buses only for students with physical
disabilities and/or blindness attending SNU. The purpose of running this
shuttle bus is to help handicapped students get to their classrooms easier
and further enhance their mobility on and off-campus. These buses are
equipped with wheelchair lifting devices, and a helper is always on board
for students’ convenience. The bus route is renewed every semester in
consideration of the number of the users and each individual’s destinations.
To take advantage of this bus service, fill in the application form at the
124
chapter 6
SNU Center for Students with Disabilities (located on the ground floor of the
Administration Building #60, next to the post office) before the semester begins.
You can also schedule the shuttle bus for one-time use by contacting either
the Center at 02-880-8787 or the bus driver at 011-9143-8787.
6) SNU Shuttle App
The SNU Shuttle (Phone) Application provides information on bus
locations, bus stops, and running time is also available on the android app.
The application is correatly provided in Korean only.

10 million people. Traffic jams are a major problem in the city, but with
the systematic and advanced public transportation system you can quickly
and easily get anywhere. Various bus routes and 19 subway lines connect
every areas of the city and the surrounding regions. The most efficient and
fastest way to get around is by subway and although buses might seem a
bit complicated at first, with a little experience and understanding of the
system, they are a very convenient way of transportation.
1) Closet Subway and Bus Stations

3) T-Money Card
T-money card is a rechargable card used for paying transportation fees in
Seoul and several other cities in South Korea. It can be used for all means
of public transportation in the city, including subways, buses and taxis.
Public transportation fare is
100 cheaper if you use a T-money card and
it can be used for transferring between subway lines and buses at a reduced
fare. The price of the card is
2,500. You can buy and recharge it at
convenience stores with the T-money logo (GS 25, CU, Mini Stop, Buy The Way,
7-Eleven, Story Way) and Ticket Vending and Card Reload Devices inside
subway stations. If you don’t want to use your T-money card anymore, the
remaining balance can be refunded at the selling locations with a
500
service fee. Some banks also issue credit/debit cards with a T-money
function.
When getting on the bus or subway, just place your card on the censor
with the T-money until in beeps. The sensor will display the amount
charged and the amount left on your card. Don’t forget to also place your
card on the sensor when you get off. If you don’t wait until your card beeps
when getting off, you will be charged extra for the mistake.
Pricing
Single journey tickets for the subway cost between
1,150-1,650
depending on the distance. You can buy single-use transportation cards at
the ticket machines at each subway stations. If you buy a single ticket, you
will have to pay
500 deposit for the card, which will be refunded to you
once arrive to your destination and return the card. Just look for the ‘Deposit
Refund’ machines.
It’s more beneficial to buy a T-money card, since it saves you
100 on
each ride. Also, you will get discounts when transferring.

- Total distances exceeding 40km (within Seoul):
- Total distances exceeding 30km (outside Seoul):
Bus fares: There are several types of buses in Seoul, all with different
pricing. The fares range between
750/850 and
1,850/1,950.
Recharging
You can easily recharge your T-money card at convenience stores with the
T-money logo (GS 25, CU, Mini Stop, Buy The Way, 7-Eleven, Story Way) and the
Ticket Vending and Card Reload machines at subway stations. Just place
your card on the designated place, click on the amount you want to deposit
on your card and pay. The machines all have an English language option, as
well as Chinese and Japanese.
If you have a T-money card, you can get discounts when transferring from
subway to buses. This saves you a significant amount of money, since you
have to pay for each ride separately if you don’t have a T-money card.
Transfers can be made up to 4 times. To get a discount, don’t forget
to place your card on the reader machine before getting off. The transfer
must be made within 30 minutes after getting off the previous means of
transportation. However, the transfer discount does not apply when getting
on the same numbered bus you just got off. There is no transfer discount
132
chapter 6
when transferring to a subway line after getting off the subway.
If you pay attention to these simple rules, you can save a lot of money on
your transportation fees.
5) Taxi
Taxis are inexpensive and abundantly available all over Seoul. They are
not only comfortable and convenient, but also safe to travel around the
city day and night. You can easily catch a cab on the street or at the taxi
stands. Empty cabs have the sign “빈차” (Bincha) lighted up in red in the
front window. Most taxis in Seoul accept credit cards and T-money card
for payment (look for the “card taxi” sign). An increasing number of taxi drivers
speak at least a little bit of English but free interpretation service is also
available for foreigners (look for the free interpretation sign).
There are two types of taxis available: regular and deluxe (in Korean:
Mobeom) taxis. Regular taxis are usually white, silver or orange in colour
while deluxe taxis are black. Deluxe taxis are more spacious, offer a more
comfortable way of travel and a higher standard of service, but they also
come at a higher cost.
The basic fare for regular taxis is
then
3,000 for the first 2 kilometers and
100 is added for every 142 meters. If the taxi is traveling at a speed
lower than 15 kilometers per hour,
100 is added to the meter every 35
seconds. There is a 20% surcharge during late-night hours (12am to 4am) and
in case you are traveling outside of Seoul. The basic rate for deluxe taxis
is
5,000 for the first 3 kilometers and then
200 is added for each 164
meters. If the taxi is traveling at a low speed,
200 is added for every 39
seconds.
※ Tipping is not customary in Korea; you are not expected to give a tip to the cab driver.
133
Call taxis are also available at Seoul at the same price as the regualar,
hailed taxis. However, there may be an additional charge of
total fare for a dispatched taxi is less than
1,000 if the
10,000. Most call centers only
offer services in Korean only, so call the Korea Travel Hotline (02-1330) or
Dasan Call Center (02-120) for assistance.
If you speak Korean, you can also call one of the following numbers:

Other types of taxis include Jumbo taxis and Call Vans for larger groups.
Jumbo taxis are black and operate at the same rate as deluxe taxis. They
are available on call (02-888-2000). The prices of Call Vans are negotiable,
depending on the number and size of luggages you’re carrying. Do negotiate
before getting in the van.
(Since 2009, Seoul launched an “International Taxi” service, with English
speaking taxi drivers. However, these taxis are only available on reservation.
You can make inquiries and reservations by calling the International Taxi
call center (02-1644-2255) visiting their website at www.intltaxi.co.kr.
International Taxis are orange in color with a black sign on the sides of the
car.)
Taking a taxi in Korea is fairly safe, but it’s always good to take some
extra precautions when you are traveling in a foreign country. Be sure
to check that the meter is on and the cab driver is going by the meter
134
chapter 6
and the price you pay is shown in the meter. If you feel like you’re being
overcharged, do ask for a receipt, write down the taxi number and report it
to the Dasan Call Center (02-120).
Download a subway map application to get exact information on train
schedules and transferring. It’s available for both iOS and Android
operation systems.

It is highly recommended to utilize your first few days of Gwanak
Residence Halls to get acquainted with the new environment and meeting
your basic needs, before the semester starts. As you may or may not know
yet, the dormitories will not provide any beddings or pillows, so you will
either have to bring them with you from your country, or buy them in
Seoul upon your arrival. We have a few tips as to where to buy the basic
necessities around the campus! Hope it will be useful to you!
As mentioned earlier, you will have to purchase your own beddings. Here
are useful Korean vocabulary you might need, as well as the directions for
the nearest beddings shops around campus.

expressions!
First Few Days in Korea: Meeting your Basic Needs
139
2. Dining Options
Purchasing Induction Cookware and Other Utensils
The dormitory rooms, or apartments do not have kitchens; so all students
are welcomed to cook food in the common kitchenettes located in each
building, which are equipped with induction ranges. However, no utensils or
plate will be available, so you will need to buy the induction cookware (frying
pan/pots etc...), cutlery, and other basic utensils on your own. You can easily
get these items from the nearest DAISO shops or Nakseongdae Market.
TIP
You can only use the induction cookware in the kitchenettes.
Where is the DAISO, and How to get there?
From the dorms, you will need to take the bus #02 toward Nakseongdae
Station. There, you will have to walk in the opposite direction of the Subway
exit #4, and after 5 to 7 minutes the DAISO store will be on your left.
140
chapter 7
Purchasing Ingredients
Finding ingredients on campus might be a little hard, so you will have to go
to a supermarket. But there are multiple options around the campus. You
can get the basic ingredients from the GS Supermarket (not to mistake with
the GS 25 convenience store), or the open market located in Nakseongdae
station near the subway exit #1.

However, you will mostly find local ingredients and products in the
aforementioned grocery shop, therefore, if you are looking for products from
your hometown, or other foreign countries, you will find lots of specialized
foreign food marts in Itaewon, which is on the subway line 6. The exit #3 of
the station is the best to find the specialized food marts.

Other Options:
Be it the beddings, the basic necessities, the cooking wares, or even the
ingredients, you can always buy these at other retailers such as e-mart,

nearest retailer being Homeplus, at Sadang Station (line 2 and 4).

4) Collecting your S-Card
1. Applying for Alien Registration Card
If you intend to stay more than 90 days in the country, you will need to
apply for an Alien Registration card (ARC, 외국인등록증) at the Immigration
office within 90 days of your arrival in Korea. This card will serve as your
valid ID in Korea; it is the equivalent to the Korean Resident Registration
Card (주민등록증) and you will be required to carry it with you at all time
as a foreigner. In fact, the Alien Registration Card is often required when
applying for most services in Korea, so you should get it as soon as possible.
For instance, you will be able to open a Korean bank account with only
your passport, but until you provide your Alien Registration Card, you will
not be issued a debit card, but only a temporary card, or checkbook. Also,
you will not be able to travel abroad and re-enter the country on the same
visa unless you have been issued an Alien Registration Card. Depending on
your visa status and nationality, you may need to apply for a re-entry permit
before leaving the country. Lastly, it is imperative that you return your Alien
Registration Card upon your final departure at the airport.
The immigration office in charge of Gwanak-gu, hence SNU campus is the
Mokdong Office. The easiest way to get there is by subway. You will have
to take the subway line 5 (purple one), get off at Omokgyo station and go to
exit #7. From there you will have to walk straight for about 5 to 10 minutes
until you see the SK gas station on the opposite side of the street. Take a
right turn at the intersection in front of the SK gas station. Continue until
168

the end of that road, and turn left at the crossroad. Walk about 50 meters

At the beginning of each semester, the queue and waiting time at the
immigration office is incredibly long. As it can take anywhere from 2 hours
to over 4 hours, our suggestion is that you go before the semester begins.
Here are a few tips to help you reduce any confusion and get through
this as fast as possible. Ideally, coming with all the required documents
ahead of time is the easiest way. But since you will have to wait for quite
a bit anyway, the only documents you must not forget are your passport,
proof of enrollment, and the
33,000 fee. You can take care of the other
requirements there.
182
chapter 8
•When you arrive at the immigration office first, take a ticket with a waiting
number.
•Once you have your ticket, fill out the application form.
•Then, if you didn’t have a picture ready, go to the photo booth next to the
ATMs to take your picture (Don’t forget to show your ears in the photo!).
•Afterwards, you have to use the ATM machines to pay the ￦33,000 fee for the
Alien Registration Card. Don’t forget to keep the transaction receipt with you,
because they will only take that receipt as payment, not cash.
•Wait until your number is called. (You might want to bring a book, or go with a
group of friends to make the most out of the waiting time!)

come out at the end of the process.

3) Applying for S-Card ID and Debit Card
You can also combine your SNU ID with your debit card if you have an
account at the Nonghyup bank, but this option is only available once you
have your alien registration card. This combined debit and ID card can be
used for copying, printing, and other campus services such as meal tickets
on campus cafeterias with the K-Cash system. First, visit a Nonghyup Bank
branch on campus to open a bank account with your alien registration
card, and let them know that you want an S-card. Then, go to the Student
Support Center at Doore Cultural Center and apply for S-card
4) Collecting your S-Card
Once you have been notified by mail or text message that your card is ready,
you have to either:
(1) Collect it from your department or at the same building you applied
for it (bldg. 67 room 201), if it is only an S-Card ID.
(2) Collect from Nonghyup Branch on campus if it is the S-Card ID +
Check Card.
Tips on S-Card Reissuance
If you lose your card, the re-issuance fee will be ￦7,000. In case your card
chip is damaged, the reissuance fee is free of charge, but you will have to
return the damaged S-card. If the damage is due to a misuse of your part,
you will be charged ￦7,000.

The International Resident Advisor is an additional resource to your
building’s resident advisor. With experience of living and studying abroad,
the international RA can empathize with the problems you suffer from as
an international student better than any other staff member.
The RAs of your buildings speak intermediate English and they serve
as the first contact point for problems related to your dormitory such as
moving in/out, facilities damage, roommate conflict, etc. The International
RA mainly translates Gwanak Residence Halls’ official notifications into
English for the convenience of international residents and aids RAs when
international students face intense situations that require a deeper level of
communication.
In addition, the International RA can provide help with the problems
ranging from dormitory issues to general campus life that arise during your
stay here or point you to other useful campus resources. If you and your RA
266

have a communication problem, you may visit the international RA during
their office hours instead of visiting your RA. Or you can request your RA
to page the international RA to engage in a 3-way conversation.
2) Gwanaksa International Student Ambassadors (GISA)
Gwanaksa International Student Ambassadors, GISA for short, is a team

GISAs speak fluent Korean and English, and most GISAs speak additional
foreign language ranging from Chinese to Russian.
GISAs are assigned to each building to collaborate with building’s
RAs and international RA in order to create a better communication
environment with international residents. GISAs organize various events
for international students such as movie nights or social gatherings. They
support Gwanaksa events like Sports Week in May and the Global Festival
in September.
Residents may ask their GISAs for help with their dorm and college life
anytime. Detailed information about GISAs of assigned buildings can be
found at dormitory website or at the notice board of each building.

they must submit their cancellation form within the first quarter of the
semester.
TIP
Students with minor studies may enroll for two more academic semesters.
4) Change of Major (Department Transfer)
Within the university, a student may change his/her major upon petition.
The student then will belong to another department.
For Your Academics
275
Permission Conditions
Permission to change one’s major is allowed for students who have
registered for at least four semesters as of the end of the applicable
academic year, and who have earned a total amount of credits equivalent
to completion of their 2nd year (66 credits), but who have earned less than
a total amount of credits equivalent to completion of their 3rd year (98
credits). The number of transferring students may not exceed 20% of each
department’s admission capacity. Details are announced one month prior to
each academic year.
Students from the departments of the College of Education can only
change to majors in other departments within the College of Education.
Students from other Colleges can change to any departments of colleges
other than the College of Education, the College of Medicine, the College
of Dentistry, the College of Pharmacy, the College of Veterinary Medicine,
and the College of Nursing.
Procedures
Any student wishing to change their major must submit the specified
application form, a letter of approval from the dean of his or her college,
and his or her transcript to the dean of the proposed new college.
Caution
Students should keep in mind that their enrollment term includes all
previous years of enrollment. Students are required to complete their studies
within the enrollment term, so students need to check whether they are able
to complete their curriculums after they have changed their major. Course
completion after changing one’s major must comply with the curriculum
regulations of the department into which the student has transferred.
Students who wish to change their major may apply for only one major.

There are two types of Grading Systems: Absolute and Relative Grading.
In absolute grading systems there are fixed marks for grading such as 90+
marking is A+. For Relative grading system, the marking is the following:
30% A, 30% B, 30% C, and 10% D of all students. Sometimes it depends
on the professor but most cases the grading system is based on the relative
grading rules. One will get warning from their department if their average
GPA falls below 1.7 or get F for 3 courses.
278
chapter 12
2) Retaking Courses, Academic Probation
One can retake a course if they get below B-. One can retake the course as
many times as he or she wants.
Academic Probation means that a student is under warning from school
and one will get warning if he or she gets F for 3 courses or 6 credits. And
if one gets 1 or more than 2 warnings, he or she might have problems
continue studying in SNU.

SNU Health Service Center (HSC)
315
Since September 1, the HSC has been an official medical organization
within SNU. As a result, if you are covered by the National Health
Insurance, which is managed by the South Korean government, you do not
need to pay when you visit a physician (however, if the insurance is not provided
by South Korean government, then you have to pay additional charges whenever
you visit a doctor or buy medicine or get treatment).
Nevertheless, because the HSC now deals with the National Health
Insurance, there is now a limit to who is eligible to receive examinations:
only SNU students, faculty, and administrative members may receive
examinations at the HSC (as for students at the Language Education Institute
(LEI), only those who take courses that last for 3 months or more are
eligible and, to be examined by a physician at the HSC, must bring their
LEI student ID cards).
Whether you are considered a student at SNU is judged on the basis of
the personal information database registered at the University Computer
Center. In other words, if your personal information is not registered at the
University Computer Center, you may not be able to get examination by a
physician at the HSC.
TIP
To be able to get examination, you should be registered to mySNU portal
5 as a student member.
If you are not covered by the National Health Insurance, you will be
5 charged with basic consultation fees.
If you are not covered by the National Health Insurance, you will be
5 charged with at least ￦5,380 for seeing a physician.

3. Reporting Sexual Harassment /
Violence
In Seoul National University, sexual harassment means all conduct which
brings about sexual humiliation and aversion, regardless of whether the
conduct constitutes sexual crime or not. This makes it a rule that follows the
reasonable judgment of the victim, which includes the following:
•Verbal, mental, physical conduct which infringes on an individual’s
sexual independence by means of demanding sexual conduct which
was not agreed in advance
•Giving disadvantages in academic evaluation, employment, or
personnel etc. due to noncompliance to the conduct described in
secion 1, or gender differences.
•Conduct which constructs unfair environment based on gender
differences
•Conduct of one who sympathized with the assailant which causes
considerable damage to the victim by means of mental intimidation,
physical coercion or any other means.
The factor which is considered the most important when identifying
sexual harassment is what consequences and influence the conduct had on
the victim, rather than its intention. If the sexual conduct seems to have
caused aversion and/or humiliation from the perspective of the victim,
then it can be identified as sexual harassment. Moreover, even if it was not
intended, certain habitual sexual conduct can cause sexual humiliation and
aversion to others. Therefore, it is important to monitor one’s own conduct
so as not to cause any affliction upon others.
323
First, once the conduct is considered as sexual harassment, it is important
to firmly express your intention in order to avoid further aggravation of
such conduct. Always remember that silence towards unpleasant sexual
conduct upon yourself can cause further misunderstanding and to firmly
express your disapproval.
Tolerating sexual harassment worrying that the other person might be
embarrassed or that the relationship might get awkward is not a tolerance at
all, rather, real consideration is to stop the wrong conduct before it becomes
a bigger mistake.
In most cases, it is hard to express immediate disapproval or denial
because of status or intimate relationships. Even if you could not express
immediate denial at the time, you should remember that you can bring
up the problem at any time to professional organization such as sexual
harassment, sexual violence counseling centers if needed.
} What is sexual violence?
Sexual violence is all mental, verbal, physical violence that infringes on an
individual’s sexual independence, which goes against the will of the other
person. When we think of sexual violence, we easily recall ‘rape’ or ‘indecent
sexual acts’ which we euphemize as ‘sexual assault’. Of course, these
conducts are defined as criminal act and are heavily punished by “law on
the protection of victims and the punishment of sexual crimes”. However,
sexual violence is not restricted to the criminal act defined by law, but is a
broader concept that includes mental and verbal violence.
Conducts that do not accompany physical contact could also be
considered as sexual violence. For example, repeating jokes that insult
women, offending others by sending obscene pictures, photos through
e-mail, and stalking others by phone and in person also accounts for sexual
324
chapter 14
violence. Sexual violence does not always accompany physical coercion such
as assault or intimidation. Sexual conducts are imposed without the consent
of the other person. Lack of resistance does not imply consent.
If you think you are the victim of sexual harassment or violence, you can ask
for help by visiting the SNU Human Rights Center:

Centers.

sexual, domestic and school violence as well as victims of sex trafficking.
They have free comprehensive counseling, investigative work, medical care
and legal advice and operate 24/7. The centers do not employ translators,
but the workers present can at times communicate with foreign victims,
depending on the center. The ministry said if communication is difficult
or impossible, some centers will call translators. Victims should call 18993075 immediately after the attack and they will be connected to the center
nearest to their location. Locations include four in Seoul in Songpa-gu,
Dongjak-gu, Mapo-gu and Jongno-gu; one in Busan in Seo-gu; two in

2. Part Time Jobs
Foreigners can find part-time jobs without too much trouble. Restaurants
and bars hire multicultural staff who can speak English in Itaewon and
Hongdae. Koreans are always looking for private English teachers and
parents search for English private tutors for their children. Part-time work
is good for students and for those traveling on a working holiday visa
around Korea. It depends on the job but the pay is not usually very high but
it will be enough to supplement your travels or your living expenses while
studying. D-2 visa holders can apply for part time employment permission
(S-3) under few conditions.
