Important Information Before Applying:

Submission of Documents:

• Applicants are entirely responsible for any disadvantages resulting from errors or omissions in the provided information.
• Submitted documents will not be returned under any circumstances. In cases where a document is not re-issuable, applicants may submit a validated/attested/notarized copy from the issuing institute or a notary office. SNU does not provide a validation service, so applicants need to prepare a notarized copy in advance.
• The admissions staff reserves the right to request additional documents from applicants to clarify eligibility or verify the authenticity of the submitted materials.
• Original documents should be submitted. In cases where they are unavailable, copies must be authorized by the originating institution or notarized by a public notary in the country where the document was originally produced before submission.
• Documents not in English or Korean will not be accepted. If in any other language, applicants must submit a notarized/certified translation (in English or Korean) completed by a public notary in the country where the document was originally produced.
• Admissions offers will be rescinded if false information or unfair practices for admissions are discovered at any time during the application period. This condition applies even after admission or enrollment at SNU.

Other Important Points:

• Applicants expected to graduate from an undergraduate course must prove their graduation after the final results are released. Failure to do so will result in the rescindment of the admissions offer.
• Admitted students to SNU are not permitted to register for any other universities in Korea that are scheduled to hold admissions for the same academic year as SNU. Non-compliance with this regulation will result in the rescindment of admissions.
