• For transfer international students in the bilingual program, the same rules as Article 3 and 4 of this chapter apply. However, up to 6 credits of major courses can be replaced by courses in the 'Micro Major in Korean Language Program for Foreigners' curriculum.
• In the case of transfer admissions including bilingual programs, the criteria for similar and dissimilar majors by academic year are determined by taking into account the characteristics of the major through a department meeting and a separate working committee (including two professors, the department chair, the head of academic support, and the head of the International Education Institute), with the final approval by the Academic Affairs Director.
• Regardless of whether they are new or transfer students, credits from labor education and community service are not required for graduation.
• When taking major-related courses offered by other departments, students can be recognized for these as major courses by submitting an application for similar major recognition.

Chapel attendance must be completed for up to 7 semesters (transfer students entering in the 2nd year must complete 5 semesters, 3rd-year transfer students 3 semesters, 4th-year transfer students 1 semester, and 4th-year bilingual transfer students are exempt). Each semester, attendance is scored as a P grade, and the course title is recorded as 'Chapel'.
