Application Guideline for SNU Outgoing Student Exchange Program for Fall 2012 Semester (Asia)

The Office of International Affairs(OIA) at SNU is planning to select 122 SNU students to apply for exchange programs with our partner universities in Asia region, for the Fall 2012 semester. 57 partner universities in 11 countries in this region are willing to accept applications from SNU students. Exchange programs are mainly for undergraduate students, but some universities offer exchange programs (usually coursework) for graduate students.  Graduate programs for exchange students may be limited and competitive. SNU would like to select qualifying students and nominate them to partner universities.

1. Eligibility

1-1. for undergraduate student;

a. must be enrolled at SNU and have completed at least two semesters at SNU

b. minimum overall GPA of 2.7

1-2. for graduate student;

a. must be enrolled at SNU and have completed at least one semester at SNU

b. minimum overall GPA of 3.3

1-3. prohibition; those who fall into any of the following categories are not allowed to apply

a. students who have been under university disciplinary action

b. students who have studied at a university abroad through SNU on a faculty or university level student exchange for more than one semester*

c. students who have withdrawn from any of the OIA's previous outgoing exchange programs after being selected

d. students who are required to serve in the army any time during the exchange program

*Outbound exchange program through Office of International Affairs at SNU is possible only once during one's enrollment at SNU.  However, for I-17 universities, an exception rule applies.  If a student has completed one semester's exchange at one of the I-17 universities, the student may apply for one semester's exchange to any available university.  Also, a student who has completed one semester's exchange in any university may also apply for one semester's exchange at one of the I-17 universities. (I-17 is a list of universities where SNU has more incoming exchange students than outgoing exchange students. It includes some universities in South East Asia, Middle East, Central America, etc.  Please see the attachment.)

 

2. SNU's Selection Criteria

a. The applicant must have an original copies of valid official language test score result(s) which are required by universities that he or she is applying for. 

※ Unofficial copies of language test score results will not be accepted. (Students who took a official language test but have not received the official transcript cannot apply.)

※ For minimum language requirement of each university, please refer to the Attachment "Fall_2012_Asia_Outbound_Exchange_Info_ENG."

※ Language test score must be less than two years by July 2012. (Test date must not be earlier than July 2010.)

b. Applicants who satisfy the minimum language requirement will be selected by overall GPA. 

※ If two students chose same university and have the same overall GPA, the student who has a higher 'total number of credits' on SNU transcript will be selected.  If both overall GPA and total number of credits are same, OIA will use the Statement of Purpose to select candidates.

c. Each Applicant may choose up to three universities listed in the Attachment  "Fall_2012_Asia_Outbound_Exchange_Info_ENG." and rank them in order. SNU will select successful candidates for each university based on applicants' overall GPA.

(That means, for example, if applicant A chooses P University as his 1st choice and applicant B chooses P University as his 3rd choice, where B's GPA is higher than A's, B will be selected for P University.) 

If a student is selected for more than two universities, the student is automatically assigned to his or her university based on preference. 

(For example, if applicant C has chosen Q University (1st choice), R University (2nd choice), and S University (3rd choice), and she has highest GPA among both Q University applicants and R University applicants, she is assigned as a candidate for Q University.)

d. Selected applicants may not apply for any other outgoing student exchange program in the future, including those for other regions for the Fall 2012 semester.
