Students’ home institutions set the policy regarding the award of credit for coursework completed at CNU. Students are responsible for knowing your home institution’s policies and procedures regarding this matter.
Academic information useful to participants: CNU subscribes to the system of Korean CREDIT. CNU does require exchange students to take at least 9 Korean credits (about 18 ECTS) a semester. A course of CNU usually grants 3 credits. (Workloads /Course = 3 hours a week, total 45 hours a semester)
It is unfortunately impossible to issue attachments with estimated equivalent evaluation used at the host university. Herewith, it is advisable to make sure there is a policy at home university that it enables student to convert the Korean CREDIT grades into the evaluation in use there. However, upon request, abstracts and syllabi of the courses student complete during their stay can be issued and attached to the transcript of record.
The transcript of records will be sent by the OIA CNU to the students’ home institutions by post after the exchange students’ returning to home.
