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 Listening Speaking Reading Writing Total 20% 30% 20% 30% 100% - (2)Grades
-
학점 A B C D F FA 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. Four tardies and three hours of absences each result in a day of absence.
- (2)The following cases are acknowledged as attendance if a student submits appropriate evidential documents.
-
- ①Tardiness or absence due to official academic schedules (classes, seminars, conferences, business trips)
- ②Hospitalization of the student
- ③Early dismissal due to religious ceremonies
- ④Attending family events related to the student and/or their immediate family
- ⑤Natural disasters
- ⑥Cases where it is difficult to attend due to menstrual pain: once a month (approved only for same-day applications)
- (3)Overall absences, including general absences and special cases acknowledged as attendance exceeding 30% of total class time will be treated as a case of Failure with Attendance (FA).
※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 Online 3-Week Program are awarded a certificate of course completion.
- (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.
4. Failure and Re-registration
- (1)Students whose average grade is below 60 points (F, Grade Failure) or attendance rate is below 80% (FA, Failure with Attendance) may not complete the level and will only receive a report card.
- (2)Students who receive a failure (F) during the current session due to an average grade below 60 points or an attendance rate below 70% may not move on to the next level through the replacement test.
- (3)Students whose average grade is 60 points or above and attendance rate is 70% or above but below 80% (failure with attendance (FA)) may move on to the next level through the placement test. However, students may move on to the next level through the replacement test only once after having received a failure with attendance (FA).
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 university. Upon request, the KLCP will issue an official transcript to any organization designated by the student.
6. Miscellaneous Matters
- (1)In the case of students acting inappropriately in a way that deteriorates the class environment and disturbs other students, the Language Education Institute may cancel their registration through the deliberation and resolution of the disciplinary committee, and those students cannot re-register.
-
- ①Having committed sexual harassment, sexual violence and violation of human rights etc as stipulated in Article 2 of 『Seoul National University Human Rights Center Regulation』
- ②Having been revealed that students have registered for purposes other than learning Korean
- ③Having disrupted or disturbed other normal academic affairs
