There is NO longer quarantine upon arrival. PCR tests still required!
The "list" of available courses only starts being ready around one month for the semester starts, right before early-bird course registration. When you are filling out your online application, you are just adding classes that you are interested in taking (this is just a proposal for informational purposes). What you actually end up registering for will depend on what is offered, the amount space in the class, how you can fit all of your classes into one schedule, etc.
Regular HUFS students can register only on the days designated for their years. Exchange students, however, can register every day of this week. We will change your status each day of the registration period so that you can register every day, Monday-Friday.
Just let us know by email; it's a simple mistake.
If you get this pop-up, it means that the class is restricted to HUFS major students. You cannot register for this online and will need to do so offline during the 2nd round of course registration by asking the instructors directly for permission. Registration for these courses is not guaranteed; please have backup options! See the Course Registration section for more information.
The class slots open on the first day of the registration period are only for 4th-year students. You may find more slots available on the following 3rd-year student day and then again on Wednesday for 2nd-year students. We recommend checking every day to see if new slots open.
If a course says "0/0", this means an instructor has not been assigned to a course and no one can register for it yet.
Similar to "major" classes, you have to register for graduate classes in person when you are on campus the first week of the semester. Please have a backup plan as well since spots are not guaranteed. (Fill out the off-line permission document and send it to summer@hufs.ac.kr with a confirmation from each professor. HUFS OIAM will help you to register to your HUFS account. only GRADUATE students!)
It can be difficult to register for classes when you need permission, and often you might miss a class that only meets once a week. You can contact professors in advance to begin asking for permission, even if you have to wait until the 2nd round of course registration. The easiest way to search for HUFS faculty is through E-Class or Google.
You can log into E-Class (using your student ID and password) to get a professor's email address off the syllabus. After logging in, click on the "Edu Status" link on the left side of the page. You can search for your classes here, but some of the search parameters are only in Korean unfortunately.
Yes, simply copy and paste the professor's name+HUFS in Google and you will often get a link directly to their department homepage which will have their email address (sometimes a lot faster than E-Class).
We can easily look up faculty contact using the Mobile Campus app - the ability to search for faculty contact information is unfortunately only allowed for employees at this time. Just be sure to give us their exact name.
Please look for the "V" designating the class as taught in a foreign language (in the registration website, you will see an "F" for Foreign Language).
If the class is not area studies-related (i.e. taught in Chinese, Spanish, etc), it will be taught in English. Always check the syllabus, just to be sure. If there is no “V,” that course is taught in Korean. Sometimes, there are mistakes and English-language classes are not marked with a V either - please let us know so we can check with the Department the class is from.
You can find classes, which are taught in English, mostly in the following departments/majors:
English for International Communication and Conferences (EICC)
English Linguistics and Language Technology (ELLT)
Department of English Education
Division of International Studies (DIS)
College of Business (significant registration restrictions exist)
Department of International Economics and Law
Please keep in mind that most international students (i.e., degree-seeking students) at HUFS take classes taught in Korean.
This means you need to clear your browser cache and then login again.
When the registration period opens, there are thousands of students trying to register for classes all at once. Because of the massive amounts of web traffic, the server will often crash or be unavailable. You have to keep trying to login throughout the day and register for classes.
You can only drop undergraduate courses during:
Round 1 Registration (using the registration portal)
Round 2 Registration (using the registration portal)
